Musical tea pot music box broken!?

I just received a beautiful old tea pot for my Birthday that plays tea for two. The music box is located on the bottom of the pot and winds. There is a "rod" on the bottom that, when wound, will start and stop the music when you lift the tea pot up. But unfortunately, I think I wound it too tight and now it won't work. When I turn the winder thing the other way, (sorry, I don't know the correct terms), it will still play the song, but won't play on its own. Can this be repaired?

I've got one too, my grandmothers. Porceline blue and made in England. I'm trying to replace the little music mechanism. I know they are out there.
