We cannot guarantee this to be in working order although when wound it does play. There don't appear to be any missing teeth, it is generally a little worn. There are several scuffs and scratches, dings, etc., particularly to the inside of the lid. The screws on the comb are a little chewed up but all commensurate with usage
