The ebay site for the guy that sold the lead governor weights & springs appears to not be there any more. However one of the guys I think I bought from, as of this posting is still selling parts. He appears to have more parts now, including what looks like closer to original reproduction weights. My posting this link is not an endorsement. Merely as a convenience to folks researching parts.

The record I play at the end is called Tea for Two. "Tea for Two" is a song composed by Vincent Youmans with lyrics by Irving Caesar and written in 1924.

Looking at archive.org/ there are a incredible number of variations of old 78's of the original title. So back in its day it must have been quite popular.
I've also been informed that the music is often standard fair for learning and practicing the piano.
