I love it! Steam punk, music, hit and miss engine. I love the goggles. I have something similar...Halcyons.

Hit and miss engines were used by farmers many years ago here in the US. I see them on A. Pickers all the time. Never thought of that application, though.

Was in an antique store the other day and saw someone pick up one of those nautical compasses that stay level. I told the guy if he didn't buy it, I wanted it. Wanted to mount it on the Indian. I love the Steam Punk look on anything.
