I have taken apart my vintage fisher price merry go round to clean it and lubricate the small music box. It sprung apart before I could get a good look as to how it came apart so I could put it back together. Does anyone know a step by step guide for putting this back together?
Is this a good question?

Hi Deana, I don't see any repair information for your model anywhere online. Here's some general information on This Old Toy, they also have a repair/refurbishing section. You might be able to contact them for more specific questions? Good luck!

Deana, are you still taking responses to your 2015 posts? If so, I'll give you my email addy -- I'd like to have copies of your photos for reassembling a vintage FP merry-go-round. Thanks, --gailgw
Deana, I have the same problem with my merry-go-round: no idea how to put it back together. Do you still have the pictures to help guide us through the process? Thanks a lot! grietje_verhoeven@hotmail.com
Hi Deanna, do you know if it’s supposed to make that clicking sound (because the boy is angry??) or is that what you were trying to fix? Anything I’ve looked up about them seems that clicking is pretty common.
Thanks, Shawna
Hi Deanna if you still know how to fix this could you send it to mustang_girl91@hotmail.com please.
I'd sure love it if anyone who has taken this toy apart would send me pictures of what they found inside. I am starting to think I'm missing a spring or something that sits under the long brown gear shaft to push it up towards the red teeth on the “floor” of the carosel. It seems to be that this is where the “angry" clicking and slipping is happening.
It would not surprise me in the least to learn that my Dad maybe took it apart 20 years ago and when it sproinged apart he lost the spring. Lol
Any information you have would rock. Send to:
Vivian (symbol-at) vaillant.ca or FB messenger works too.

How do you fix the on off switch? And the wind up mechanism? We are able to get the merry go round to turn but the on of switch is the problem

I have the same toy that I tried to clean and lubricate so the little guy could turn the crank - but I just made it worse!
Where can one go to repair this sort of toy? I also have the old FB record player with a dial that was turned too far. Darn kids wanting to play with toys! ;-)
