On you tube....vintage slot machines Magpie 1977. [ Sorry, I don't know how to do the link] Featuring John Gresham. Who made the first working model shown- Dennison? Love it.

Essex Auto Manufacturing Company Ltd of Southend-on-Sea. Probably supplied by Samson. Made about 1929. I have a similar one called 'Electric Exchange'. Heaps better than Little Stockbroker in my opinion.

Well done!
