Description
I'm selling this very, very rare music box. It plays perforated discs of 440 mm diameter, driven by a clockwork motor. This stunningly beautiful machine was, I believe, installed in a Northern Cape hotel. A penny slot in the side would allow patrons to insert a coin and it would play the disc. The sound is phenomenal. Included in the price are 47 discs, each one very rare and hard to find. The machine has been painstakingly restored to near complete condition. It still requires some work but the vast bulk has already been done. There is a wealth of spare parts and documentation showing the process of restoration and the machine's history. Size: 1250 mm wide × 830 mm high x 410 mm deep. I bought it some years ago and after doing some work on it have decided I'll never get round to finishing it. It has the makings of a unique, valuable and functional machine.
