    You are awesome! I don’t think many people would have thought to take the time to fix the music box, or even know how. Leave it to Sophia to show the world that something’s aren’t that difficult if you want it fixed. Thanks Sophia!

    you amaze me with all the things you are willing to jump into and try to fix, remodel or create. I read.....and read.....and eat and then read somemore. Your level of energy wears me out but I love watching you tackle new things. I wish I was your neighbor.

    My husband gave me a jewelry box with a music box when I was 15. I am now 65 and it has been overwound for decades. I also have my son Jack’s favorite childhood stuffed bear with an overwound music box to repair. We lost our son two years ago and it would be so nice to be able to repair that. My grandmother gave me a music box that sat on her dresser again, overwound. I look forward to playing them all again thanks to you! Your talent is endless...thank you so much! I will let you know if I’m successful!

    Oh what a beautiful repair video! ;) I love music boxes! I read in our local paper recently that a neighboring town had set up a Repair Cafe. it's run by volunteers with varying areas of expertise, and people bring in their broken items to hopefully get repaired! It's just such a good idea, and nice contrast to our throw-away society. :)

    Most people call me 'Karyn', but if you want to call me 'Buddy', that's OK! LOL> I don't know when I ever turned my volume up to 90s so fast! It is pretty quiet at first, is the song 'Oh, What a Beautiful Morning?' 'Oh, What a Beautiful Day?' This looks like the brush and oil similar to the sewing machine kit? Oh, I see 'clock oil'. I have a bride from my wedding keepsake that's a music box. She always has been working fine, but the Fear of the 'OverWind!' is Real from since I was little. When I see a lovely broken music box at Goodwill, You know I'm bringing it Home with Me for the Challenge! It's so lovely Sophia. I like All the Birds you display.

I was not looking for a music box. It kind of talk to me it was in a box with a bunch of other stuff and I kept hearing this little noise and what it was was the music box trying to play. It really really needed oil. So I saved it I brought it home and I found a lovely spider and a nest inside of it so I killed that LOL and watch your video and fix my music box thank you
