Melody in Motion Willie the Whistler Porcelain Clown Figurine 12" Needs Repair

Vintage and painted bisque porcelain music box made by Waco in 1994 modeled by Seiji Nakine, Japan. When working the music it plays is “Memories" and his head moves to the music! It is Battery Operated (3-AA - not included) with an on-off switch and volume control. Willie comes with his original box (which shows its age), foam packing insert, and papers. Figurine is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks, unfortunately the music and movement do not work (see photos of battery compartment). Approximate measurements 12” high x 6 ½” long x 5 ¼” wide Weight 3 lbs. We kindly ask that you closely review the photos and item descriptions.
