<p>[QUOTE="skeetercoley, post: 9427132, member: 80931"]I'm not sure if the cylinder is interchangeable, but when you open the lid, on the righthand side one of the controls says "change" and "repete" (though the label plate actually seems to be on upside down<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />). If you put it on the change setting it engages a mechanism that causes the cylinder to shift from side to side slightly each time the cylinder makes a full rotation, so that it keeps switching songs. And in case it's interesting, here is the article I found that seems to mention the maker and his family and another about other members of the family - the whole family seems to have made music boxes.</p><p><a href="https://www.eiou.at/wiener/weitere/KOMPNSTN/zz1saeul/maker/cuendet.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.eiou.at/wiener/weitere/KOMPNSTN/zz1saeul/maker/cuendet.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.eiou.at/wiener/weitere/KOMPNSTN/zz1saeul/maker/cuendet.html</a></p><p><a href="https://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/201806/2018.06.13.01.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/201806/2018.06.13.01.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Digests/201806/2018.06.13.01.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
