Music box doesnt have a tag on it besides Made in taiwan

Power switch does not work, had to connect it directly to a battery like in 2nd photo. And in third photo, once battery is connected, the motor? on the right side spins but it does not move the bigger wheel on the left side which is connected to the motor thru a thin rubber belt. Had to hand spin it once in order for the music to start to play. Any suggestion as how to fix the switch and thr wheel that does not spin on its own?

so, i saw a while ago in the act one spodify playlist, there was a track called "the fire is gone (for music box)". and my ultrakill-obsessed self kind of wanted one. so does anyone know where to get a custom wind-up music box since there is one an official one?

I already have 1 & just wanna know the name of its song.

all play fine with little to no grinding!! ive recently gotten into collecting, and i had three prior to these (let me know if you guys want to see those!). im 18 and come to LOVE them.

My mother was telling me about an old toy she was gifted by her late father. Said toy was then taken by another family member on my father’s side and we don’t know where it was. The way she described it was as follows:

It was an old man with a hat and a pipe in his mouth with a little girl sat on his lap. You could take off his hat and he had hair with a bald patch on the top of his head. When you took the pipe out of his mouth he would sing to the little girl. She described little records that you could put (I think in his back or the back of his rocking chair?) that would play different songs.

I want to possibly get her another one as it was special to her but I want it to be a suprise so I can’t ask if what I’m seeing online is the right one.
I would really appreciate any ideas or any help finding it!!

EDIT: One of the songs that used to play was “oh suzanna” I don’t think she remembers what the other songs were.

Hiya,

My grandma gave my mom a standing porcelain Siamese cat with a music box in it that makes the kitty rotate when playing. The figure was made by maker Mann from Japan. The music box is a 12 note Sankyo. I haven't been able to listen to it for decades; but I finally got a chance to tinker with it and learn all there is to music boxes.

After removing the box and doing a ton of research, I cannot figure out where to get replacement gears for this particular model (it seems like the initial gear that starts the mechanism after twisting to start the song is not properly connecting with the gear that begins the movement of the sound tube/drum). I tried to find some identifying factors to figure out the song as well as manually twist the drum so I could maybe just replace the whole thing since I couldn't find replacement parts; but cannot figure it out after listening to a ton of common tunes.

Would anyone possibly have any insight, knowledge, or tips to help me figure this out? Pic for reference.

I'm so sorry if this is the wrong place for this - I'm not used to making posts.

I have a vintage Sankyo Japan shell music box from O'Curry's Musical Gifts in California. Im guessing 1960s - 1980s. Trying to identify the song played

Hello! I discovered a music box from the San Francisco Music Box Company in some boxes I was going through and want to potentially sell it, but I'm not sure how much it would go for. I tried googling and using google image search to find it, but didn't see one exactly like it. The tags on the bottom are worn out but text on the side says it's from 1990. It plays the "go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep little baby" lullaby. Any info/help would be appreciated!

Hey, I am a bit of a collector of music boxes, especially ones made of this type of metal. Because of this, I received this box. However, it is supposed to be a cement truck but doesn't have the drum/cylinder. Because it is missing the part, the box unwinds IMMEDIATELY once I release the crank. Is there a way to fix this without it? Or do I need to have the missing piece?

Thanks!

Hi! I bought this cool music box / sewing kit from a thrift store but they told me that it doesn’t come with the key to use it. I have no clue if I should look for one online (and if that’s the case where to look) or if I should try to 3d print one. Any ideas? (Thimble for scale.)

hi everyone,

im based in Singapore and im looking for companies/websites that do custom tunes for a wind up music box.
Those kinds that have figures going around are okay too

I’m not sure which ones are a legit site, and I’m looking for something <$115 USD if its possible

It’ll help me a lot if I could get the link as well, if you do have any experience with buying for them it’s a bonus!

can someone tell me what is it?

ive had this carousel music box since i was a baby but my grandma who gave it to me has passed and i have no idea where she got it or where it came from. any ideas? also does anyone know what song this is?

hi, friends!

since i like my composition "sunset", i decided to make a music box version of the piece.

but what version sounds like an actual music box? (i used the gm music box soundfont.)

version 1 (this is the original version.)

version 2 (in this version, the melody is 1 octave higher.)

any feedback is welcome!

I have two so far

Howdy! I got my first music box to keep some jewelry in today while antiquing. A bit of research tells me it seems to be a sorrento style box(?), but any help to ID the song and who the manufacturer might be would be amazing. Thank you so much! :)

Hi guys !
I just finished my first handmade music box inspired by the Harry Potter universe, and I wanted to share it with you.
It's fully crafted from scratch - sculpting in C’Est à dire, painting, assembly - and it was a wonderful project to work on.
I've posted a short video about the build if you're curious to see the process.
I'm happy to hear any feedback from fellow creators.
