Have you been to his place (I would hesitate to call it a museum, more a palace of lunacy) in London?
It's brilliant if you're passing Bloomsbury

I haven't been to the one in London
but I have been to his place on Southwold Pier.
One time I was there, he was there doing maintenance on some of the machines and we got chatting. He's a thoroughly lovely chap!
Some mates and I also managed to persuade him to give us a tour of his workshop, and spent an afternoon talking to him about stuff he was building, stuff we were building, clocks, his chickens...
He's amazing.

Is that connected to the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre
That used to be in Covent Garden? IIRC it moved out of central London for a while but the last time I checked I couldn't find it.

Yes, it has some of the stuff from there, plus new stuff
it's called www.novelty-automation.com/ and I've seen him in there a couple of times doing maintenance and he is still lovely and enthusiastic
