Need to correct what I wrote earlier about Thorens. First, the company is still in business and sells cigarette lighters, razors, and other metal objects. In the year 1986 Reuge bought the rights to the AD30 disk music box. Reuge continued to make the AD30 up to 2010 then halted production. A Swiss company (not Thorens) still sells the AD30 brand new from stock along with many other music boxes and machines.
