I have a Genola toy phonograph with a sound box bad in more ways than one. I believe I've seen other soundboxes with a similar configuration. I doubt that I can find a good Genola soundbox replacement. Can I substitute something else perhaps more common than the original part? Here are some pictures:

You might try George Vollema (victroladoctor.com) in Michigan. That reproducer is specific to Genola toys and is pot metal. The machine is not a good player anyway, so it may end up as a display piece. The hole could be repaired with JB Weld epoxy putty, but not much can be done to fix cracking pot metal...

There are still a few good ones out there. It's just going to take some patience.
