I think it would look good if you put a larger generator on there and had the small dynamo as an "exciter" (display only, non-functioning exciter)

Not to wander too far off topic but the memories of old banks of “‘exciters” and generators/motors strikes a distant cord. That combination oft had a nearby black slate motor control panel with knobs and dials and perhaps a large knife switch too. Always had a globe light on top of the panel to show if the unit was
‘On’.
Similar but in no way exact to this generic panel with a nearby old chair ——
