<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 940329, member: 10012"]I have a feeling that there is an on/off somewhere which may be in the off mode. I think that the works may be in the left compartment. In the cut-out circle is a brass pin or screw. Does it move? Should it pop up when the item (?) is taken out and start the music? Another possible on/off is the movable arm. Perhaps it has to be in a certain position? Another option would be the lower round pin in the rectangular cutout in the center brass. Perhaps, just move it towards the hinge to turn it on? You don't show the bottom of the box. Can you access the works from there by removing a few screws? Sometimes, the whole piece that has the cutout will easily lift right out with the help of a dental pick. Right now all you have is a nice box whose use is unknown. Dare to be daring and investigate![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
