So has anybody ever seen plans for a mechanical Orrery? This is a model of the solar system that shows the relationship of the planets as they circle the sun. The photo shows a small one of just the earth and moon as well. These are kits costing $1400. I would love to see a set of plans. Just gears and rods. How hard could it be?

The Orrery I showed in the photo is still offered in weekly kits. In this case it is a prize in a magazine subscription drive. Looks like there is lots of info. I will have to take some time and soak through it all thanks to all who contributed the links.
