Warped Thorens Musical Box Discs
By Pierce Wenthur

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

Hi:  I have a 1940-1950 Thorens music box with about 30 or 40 4.5-inch
discs.  The discs have warped and sometimes stick and stop.  Can this
be improved in any way?

The movement runs okay but seems to run too fast so that some of the
melodies are hard to recognize.

What are the current prices on new discs?

Sincerely
Pierce Wenthur
