RIP Mr. Bennett-Levy - it is very nice that you were captured here in this short film performing your "magnum opus" of restoration work.

The curse of finishing the "magnum opus" of your life. Truly, the gift of his unique skill would have been lost to time, had they waited a year....

I mean i would be totally awsome to have a job that you know you would still do if you won the lottery.

And here I have always enjoyed refitting the mixed up screws as the most fun.

"So if you just take out 14 bolts, for example, and just throw them down, well 14! gives you 87 billion combinations." Tip of the day: Keep REALLY GOOD TRACK of which bolt goes where, lol!

They had one on the ceiling of the Museum of Natural History in NYC. I remember it still worked when I was a child but it’s been off for decades and they don’t even point it out any longer. I wish they would fix it.

Christie's listed I think that orrery, as expected to fetch £80-120k in 2007. Seems like a bargain to me.

The only thing we don't see in this lovely video is a good long look at the the thing bloody well working. So, at the end I am left waiting for what I am not gpong to get.
