Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, located in Farmington Hills, Michigan, is devoted to a huge collection of coin-operated animatronic dummies, mechanical games and other oddities. Exhibits include, for example, the classic gypsy Fortune teller machine that used to grace many a carnival sideshow. Most of the machines still function, so visitors are encouraged to bring change.〔 ISBN 978-0762708086〕 The museum's founder, Marvin Yagoda, has been collecting the items that populate the museum for 50 years.〔 ISBN 9781402739071〕 Yagoda is a recognized expert in the field of mechanical and electrical game apparatus; he has been involved in appraisal of such items for American Pickers.〔(Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum spot on ) American Pickers television show〕 Amongst the collection is P.T.
