I have a Thomas Pacconi Classics music box. One of the teeth that pluck the music bars appear to be broken. Is there a replacement for the music mechanism?

You need to buy the Jack's male plugs, Wal-Mart has them if memory serves, and splice your speaker wires onto them, preferably with a soldering gun and heat shrink insulation.
TBirdMM, thanks for the advice. I was turning that dial this morning tweaking the rpms and it worked! Strangely enough I actually broke the white dial off, but when I spun a 33 on the 78 setting it played right on! Thanks!
Does anyone know why that dial only effects the 78rpm setting, and if there is a dial for the 33 rpm setting?
My older Thomas Pacconi turntable was also turning too slowly. Rather than replacing the belt or needle, I tried using an eye glass repair screwdriver to alter the trimmers inside the motor. But the changes didn't take. Then I tried trimming the power to the motor using the larger trimpot next to the motor with the motor itself set to the 78 rpm setting. But the adjustments to the trimmer didn't get the platter to spin slow enough - it wouldn't play an LP. To get the speed down further I replaced the 1K trimmer with a 10K trimmer I picked up for a buck at Radio Shack and successfully adjusted the turntable down to down to 33 1/3 rpm usage. All that was needed was a soldering iron and a 10K trimpot to get the job done.
