Most repairers would like to see a photograph of the inside and outside of your box or cage before they'll be able to quote the work. If you are in any way uncomfortable opening the mechanism -- THEN DON'T! Thankfully most often the bird stops singing because the bellows has failed -- This is repairable but only by an expert with the proper stiffened ultrathin leathers. These materials pass the test of time -- make sure they are used. Sometimes it is impossible to quote a price until they actually have the item in hand and can look at it. Be sure your person is reputable and 'known' before you ship it and have them take it apart. Be patient with the repair, some parts are easy to come by, others literally must be scavenged from other hard-to-find pieces or created. It can take a lot of time to do right. Unfortunately, you may find when your repair person opens your box that it is not as it was represented when sold. Sometimes parts have been shared among boxes and cages over the years -- and often poorly retrofit. Think of this work as 'antique restoration' sometimes of museum quality -- find the right help or you will reduce the value of your item. Please get back to us after your restoration is complete to share your feedback on the restorer and process. We'll share your learnings with others. |
