Wind-up Music Box

Yes, there are several different music box designs in official sets and fan creations. What baffles me is that none of them make use of the readily available pull-back motor as a standalone piece. So I thought why not give it a try? I know one can always automate by means of an electric motor, but in order to remain as authentic as possible I think a wind-up system is the more suitable choice.

As for my creation, it would be much better to present it in a video, with its mechanism in action. Unfortunately I don't have a large portion of these pieces (672 pcs). So I am aware that the final build may require some improvement. Also, although it may seem fitting, I didn't include a sound brick since LEGO stopped using them for quite some time. And lastly, I designed the exterior in classical style which makes it a nice display model for my taste.

All-in-all I really enjoyed designing this model. It was a nice challenge for me as I am fairly new to moc building. I hope everyone likes it.
