Jean Schoenner Magic table # 69B
« on: August 20, 2023, 12:30:31 pm »
Today I had time to let the magic table run with a Jean Schoenner vertical steam engine.
This one runs very nicely and slow and it was fun to play around the magic table. The secret
is, that the rotating shaft is magnetic. There are several items to play with - enjoy

Beyond BRILLIANT!

Think I'd shorten the "snake" by half a turn, so it won't hang up in the corner backets.

I love the magic table or is it the "magnetic table" I think I'd like to make one of those one day, I'd love to see the workings underneath.
