Has anybody made any other "real-world appliance" models?

When I was a kid I had fun playing with cheap reel-to-reel tape decks that
I'd find at garage sales.  Usually they had pretty small reels (maybe 3")
and I had a bunch of reels of 8" tape, so I made a lego machine which would
wind tape from the large reels of tape that I owned onto the smaller ones
that my tape deck would work with.  It was a pretty simple device, but
worked well and was much better then trying to do it by hand.
