Neat piece of 70's hardware, the Ultronics Stockmaster desktop Quote Machine.One of the first electronic displays that replaced the Mechanical stock tickers and has a service sticker on it dated 1972. They would hook up about 15 of these to a modem transmitting @ a whopping 1400 bpm. 3 Rows of letters the user could punch in the symbol then hit the bid , offer , volume keys on right and whalah your price would glow on the 3 bulbs above!

Early 5a ticker with drilled vents instead of the louvers typicaly seen on this machine. Also in later
years there was the 11a bid and offer deleting ticker that was a 5a ticker with special attachments that produced expanded bid and offer information when market activity was slower than the maximum output of 500 characters per minute this machine was capable of!
