Essex Corn Exchange, Stock Broker & variants

Topic moved & merged - Site Admin.
Years ago I was busted for running an illegal bookmaking operation..
After doing my time, I was given the choice of joining the Foreign Legion or becoming a STOCK BROKER.
I chose the latter.
Now you know why I prized my "StockBroker" slot machine.
Recently, I discovered a picture of the machine on the internet. You will note that it should not be confused with
the "Little Stockbroker" as pictured on several Forum posts
Previously, I requested information on my machine; since there were no replies. I assume it is quite rare.
Perhaps, the attached photo will elicit some answers.....Other than my machine, I have never seen another one.
Thanks,
ROGER

Re: Naughty Boy
Either Essex or Samson, at a guess.
PS. Nowhere near as good as a Little Stockbroker, in my opinion!

Re: Naughty Boy
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.

Hi, can I get some info on this machine? I know nothing about it and cannot find too much. Looking for what era it was from and who made it. Also what would be an average price for one of these? Thanks

Hi Folks,
Just wondering if any of you guys have one of the above machines at all. If so, I am looking for a picture of the inside mech if possible.
Thanks in advance,
Carl.

Re: Margins Market Value machine
Did you buy the one from the Elephant Auction below? If no one else comes back here, Steve did say he had one and may help.

Re: Margins Market Value machine
Here are a couple of photos of the inside of a Corn Exchange which may help.

And inside The Little Stock Exchange. Main difference seems to be the clock/timer.

Margins

This seems similar to the Stockbroker machines in that every operation is determined in advance.
Anyone got any information on it ?
Is the wheel supposed to spin freely or (like the Stockbroker) merely move a few sections at a time?
If anyone has internal photos I’d appreciate them.
Any help appreciated.

Re: Margins
It's an Essex machine - as far as I can remember, the disc does spin freely, unlike the Bradshaw Little Stockbrokers that just bounce around a bit.
