don't mind my desk, I do a lot of stuff on it. hi, I have a music box movement from a different box than my last post, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to slow it down if that makes sense? the notes seem to be going really quickly, like faster than necessary for the song. I figure it's because of the air governor, because the air governor is like a plastic cap and then this tiny little things spinning around, you're going to be sort of see it in the video. do I need to replace the whole governor? someone asked something similar in an earlier post but the advice they got seemed to have been for a different mechanism than this one. TIA for any advice y'all have!

I got this at a Craftiques store as-as, aka the seller knew full well it wasn't working. I want to get the movement out and see about maintenance in it, maybe putting some lubricant on it, because for a while it just wouldn't play, then it started playing extremely slowly, now it's still playing kind of slowly and if I pick up the box it can sometimes stop, so I want to get in there and get a better look but there's a piece of acrylic or something keeping me from just reaching in and grabbing it.

Has anyone seen one of these boxes before? Any idea how to get the glass or acrylic or whatever out so I can remove the movement and maintenance it? I was considering using a hammer to break some of the wood holding it in but gave it a few test taps and got really nervous LOL. If anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it, I'm new to music boxes but they are just incredibly magical.

it wasn't in the haunted woods hunt, it was in a trade, the other person was really desperate for the item I was offering and ended up giving me a hungry fungus! I didn't even wait to take screenshots of it I went straight to getting the Varwolf and I am so thrilled you guys I love her she is so beautiful and I am so looking forward to throwing this rainbow beast into the battle dome once she's trained!
