Dutch Vintage Windmill lamp/music box replacement help
Hi there!
I am trying to find a replacement music box/lamp for my mother, as her one (which holds great sentimental value) was damaged recently.
Does anyone have any idea where I could find one like that in the link below?
(I have tried ebay, Google etc but have only found ones which have already been sold, and the sellers have no idea where to get another one from)
Either that, or if anyone has any idea on where to get a replacement motor for the windmill I could try a repair job!
Thanks in advance!

I had a look, I couldn't find an exact replacement for the one in you link.
Many are made in China via whole sale and there are shed loads of music wooden windmills for sale.
Bit it would appear the easiest option is to repair or replace the movement.
To that end there are music box repair specialist or companies that sell music box movements.

(The motor is connected to the part which plays the tune 'Tulips from Amsterdam', so I am really looking for both parts)
I have even tried looking at various Holland/Dutch online souvineer shops, but have had no luck
