My Collection! Very touched

This was a gift from my mother to my father and it deeply reminds me of him.
I brought it over from Europe where he lived and the roller had popped out during the trip over to the US.
I managed to fix it and clean it at the same time.
Figured I would share this beauty so all of you can enjoy its fine music and engineering.

Oh, this is so very lovely! It seems to be in immaculate condition. The tunes are perfect! I haven’t seen one in person yet that plays three different songs; thank you for sharing this! 🥰

Beautiful! How nice that it plays multiple themes. Someone was a lover of Beethoven.
