As a decoration I think the idea may not be bad (ok minus all the unnecessary garlandish stuff on this one) as one could then see all the working bits.
Building a reproducer completely out of glass with glass needles :-) is also possible and would round off a see through machine brilliantly! As a kid I remember the Andy Williams show where he had a full size perspex machine on a piano which I thought was quite cool.
