Need help with a 1917 VV-VI sans sound-box I just bought

Still wondering about if there was a mechanism to keep the doors closed however ... google image VV-VI's and see if I can find one with the doors open.

Mine does not have any mechanism to keep the doors closed.

Thanks one and all for the help with my puzzle.

I know these are common ... but I do quite like my new project

There is no closing mechanism on the doors of this machine.
If your doors are loose or won't stay closed you will need to tighten the pivot pins on the door hinges.

I have previously suggested gluing a small piece of felt on the bottom of each door to help them stay closed.

I'll start with the pins and if that doesn't do the trick - felt seems like a good idea.

Thanks all
