It can be quite nice with the addition of brass governor balls.

Sadly I have no machining tools or abilities to do metal work.      I'd have to fully rely on someone like you or someone else on the board to do this kinda stuff.   I can only do minor tweaking.   I wish I could remove the entire model from the metal base and put it on stained & sealed wood like your 75EL BB,    and have the skills to put the variac onto the back, put the immersion rod into the boiler,  and put that beautiful copper paint on it,  install roller ball bearings,   and wilesco transmission.     I really want that 75ELBB.   you sold it around thanksgiving and when I saw this post today already sold I lost my mind!
