I can confirm that the cams on the Morris machine are indeed heart-shaped.
Regarding the cost of these machines, I can't remember what I paid for mine, but I don't think it was any more than maybe £50.
It's not much more than a novelty in reality, because you are constrained by the fixed gears and fixed cam sizes. The variable ratio you have introduced in your design solves that problem neatly.
By the way, the Parcelforce 'handling fee' to allow you the privilige of paying any import duty has increased to £13. Royal Mail was still £8 a couple of weeks ago.
