One machine that made me smile was a revamped Sidney Knows fortune teller, in
which Sidney has been redressed in Saxon clothing and has been given a voice. The
machine is now known as "Hear Sidney Sing" which I for one thought was an
improvement on the regular machine.
If you are an allwin collector, you will find a good selection of Oliver Whales
machines on display, including: Easy Perm, U-Select It, Play Ball, Have a Go, Strato-
Play and Jet-Play. It was also for me the first time I have seen and played an O1-Win.
For the Bryans fans they have: Worl Borl, Forks, Elevenses, Allsport, Payramid,
Clock and others. And if you want to see just what the butler did see, why not spend a
penny on the Mutoscopes or the Peerless viewer?
I have listed a few of the vintage machines that are to be found and played at the
House on the Hill, but there are lots more. So get yourself down there and see for
yourself, you won't be disappointed.

A nice collection of Whales and Bryans allwins.
