Steampunk CD player

I'm an afficionado of all things Victoriana and Steampunk, but I'm not just practical enough to build anything myself. So the best way to become my best friend (for life, warranty included) is probably to build me one of these.

It's simply a beautiful and imaginative piece of work, that is a must have for any gentleman of good taste. An I am nothing if not a gentleman... though some have claimed that my taste is somewhat lacking, but nevertheless. This lovely little Victorian / Steampunk CD-player would be perfect for playing those cello-concertos I love to listen to, while reading a book of 19th century poetry. And you wouldn't want to deprive me of that pleasure, would you?

Build this for me. Give it to me. And I will grant you whatever that's in my power to give in return. Like a burned CD of Ben Houge's Arcanum soundtrack? Or a bit of a tickling? (I'm not a wealthy man...)

While I'm waiting for my wish to materialize, I just have to settle to looking at the pictures, and watching this little video demonstration of the player;

Kudos to Prof. Emilio Zuntaras for his Bi-Orbital Spectral Audiometer. Truly excellent work, and I'm not ashamed to admit that it kind of turns me on.
