the right comb is missing 2 teeth and the box plays well. At one time the box was changed from coin-op and there is a filled slot in the case front and the start stop lever is now on the inside of the box. The titles of the two discs are "Dixie" and "Stars and Stripes". For information on Symphonion, please see Bower's "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments, page 218- 220. Width 20 1/4"
