Charlie, Superman is a great pinball machine, just warn your daughter and son-in-law not to get carried away, or their basement will end out looking like mine!

You've got a little space left for engines on the piano bench (grin)!

You could even bring in a longer bench.

Looks like a great use for a piano.

I showed this picture to my wife and suggested our player piano would make a great display for some of my engines. 

She did not share my vision.

Give her time Charlie, she may come around. It took 47 yrs, but wife has given up on having any room in the house not having having something i collect in it. Although she did tell me once that the next pinball machine could go on her side of the bed, but that was many many pinball machines ago!

Speaking of Pinball Machines.  My daughter and her husband recently got back his uncle's Superman machine fully restored:

Looks good to me! The piano makes a good engine display. Multi level, quite a bit of flat space. I have my eye on that big beam too! I remember when you brought it in. Very, very nice.
Well, I did send that nice stuart steam hammer your way awhile back, but it didn't clear up much space!

Time to dump the piano and put in a big display cabinet!

Makes a nice set of display shelves ... and while messing with those engines, you can always say that you are playing "on" the piano !    ;c)

I bet that massive beam engine makes beautiful music 🎶

Who needs a piano? 😁

With some extra time from the last month, I have been working on some small projects on the dining room table, rather than out in the machine shop.  Since no one plays the piano anymore, it began collecting engines on top of it a few years ago, and now they have completely taken over the piano, and most of the dining room, for that matter.  [attachimg=1]
