It's on my list of genius inventions I wish I'd have thought of, except for the excess chain slithering over the piano/plate. I passed one up at an estate sale some years back for that reason. Now I wish I'd have gotten it anyway, and just set a plastic trash can or something on the plate to catch and feed the chain. Older, but not always wiser. Ron N
