    Thanx for the Video Greg. This actually help me repair a broken heirloom. The issue was with the cam. It is a wire type so it was bent out of position along with the arm attached to the motor and the gears were completly out of alignment. I used your very brief shot of the cam configuration and position of the arm on on the motor shaft to set mine up and I figured the proper position of the gears. I still can't get the doors to open completely but they close perfectl. It's posible that were never designed to open all the way (still need 1/8" of movement of the cam that I can't seem to figure out). It's been a long time but I'm pretty sure it did open completely when I was growing up. The video of your does, so I guess I may still have something amiss.

      Lara’s Theme (aka Somewhere My Love from Dr. Zhivago) is the first one; I can’t seem to name the second. I do know as a collector of Reuge pieces that they often paired Lara’s Theme with Edelweiss on their larger movements, and often with Love Story in these musical carousels. Hope this helps!

    It’s an incredible machine indeed, and more in depth than any others online! But it’s a shame that whoever restored it didn’t adjust a few things correctly…the record plays much faster than it should, and is there a way to adjust the starting position of the tonearm so that it doesn’t start playing part-way through the record?
