the wife bought a music box some time back and I foolishly said
"oh, of course I can fix it." Found it today.

Got the mechanism out, and ... it needs disassembly. Or
lubrication, or something. But, it is pot metal, so "I will be very
careful."
Which I had a Real Drill Press, but will make do with the dremel
accessory. Ufda.

boys could lose a finger or two playing with."
