Crown Devon Musical Box Cigar Dispenser

This is probably a long shot, but I am hoping someone reading the board may have one of these they would be willing to photograph the internal workings of for me. I picked this up over the weekend, knowing that the music box was not working, but I didn't realise that the dispenser part is actually "automatic", and is meant to open and close while the music is playing.

On this one however, the bit that connects the drawer section to the music box inside is not attached to anything, and we are not sure if there is a bit missing or not. The music box itself is not working either, but I am hopeful that is not going to be a major thing to fix (I have a real "fixer" of a son 🙂 )

Here is a link to one actually working on YouTube, plus a couple of photos of the one here. It has a couple of chips off the corner, unfortunately, but is still a very nice and unusual thing.

Thanks in advance for any help
