1952's "National" Cash Register Machine Restoration - Can It Still Print Receipts?

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Hi folks! It was a pleasure to restore this classic cash register, even though I was almost about to give up at some point, but I'm glad I didn't! I hope you will enjoy the video! Thank you for your support! Johnny

[@patrickcorcoran4828]

FYI this shows up as a blank thumbnail in my feed, its the youtube rounded rectangle, but with three dots in gray instead of a red play button. I've never seen that before, but I assume thats what shows up if there is no thumbnail picture. When I mouse over it, it shows you putting the cash register down on the bench.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thanks for letting me know! I will contact the support team.

I know this was a lot of work. I remember the 1200/1500 and 1900 crank/electric models. Of course the 100 and 200's too. Next time, the larger bank models or coin sorter/counter. 🎉

[@joeldierker5982]

gotta admit... when you first revealed the mechanical innards of it, my first though was "he's either incredibly brave & optimistic, or a complete masochist if he breaks this all down to components." Good compromise with the cleaning & repair (restores my faith in sanity) & Great job overall, keep saving the old things!

[@ct6502-c7w]

Ha, yeah I was glad to see he didn't take it apart down to that level! I've restored antique adding machines and typewriters, but mostly just cleaning and taking off a few external parts or maybe taking apart the carriage to clean it. I would NEVER try to take apart the mechanism, that's asking for disaster!

[@mattbronsil6336]

Brave, optimistic, and masochist are not mutually exclusive from each other. :D

When I was kid, I was amazed to see the cashier operating this machine in the shop. Every time my mom in a que of the cashier, I stood beside her, just to watch the cash reg machine operated.

[@jeff11030]

My dad’s business had a large (6 drawers) NCR built in the 1940’s. It sat on a base with a cabinet with a total height of about 5’. I restored all the outside wood but would never have attempted the restoration you did. You did a great job!

[@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936]

My dad had one as well.... they were used in clothing/dept stores like Macys. Each drawer had a different sounding bell, and separate keys for each employee... This allowed a shared machine, but separate cash drawers for shift reporting. We used the 6-8 drawers as a tool chest in a hardware store, after the register part died. We sat a newer old NCR register from the 70s on top. I still have boxes of key blanks for old NCR registers RESET and other function.

I worked an old NCR back at Alpha Beta in the early '70's. I could fly on that beautiful, noisy monster. One hand on the keyboard and I never had to even look, I knew exactly where the keys were. None of this 'scanning codes' stuff. My boss was skeptical and secretly had me tested. I was 1/2 cent off on a produce weigh in a $63.00 grocery bill.. 0-49 the customer was given the half cent rounded down, 50-99 the store rounded up. My produce was between 49-50 on the scale and I rounded down to the customers advantage. The test people rounded up. My boss was delighted at my accuracy. I could move customers twice as fast as any other checker and maintain accuracy. No raise, I was already a Journeyman, but i got more 'time and a half' hours and 'triple-time' hours when we were opened on the occasional holiday.

[@PaulFellows3430]

A great restoration. I can clearly remember when cash registers very similar to this were in use across the UK, although of course ours registered pounds and pence after 1971 and pounds, shillings, pence and farthings before then. Now though, they are nearly all gone and you only see them in museums. For your sake I am glad you did not have to dismantle all the mechanism down to the last nut and bolt. That would have been INSANELY complicated to reassemble! May I offer you one tip which I hope will help you - such an old machine could well have contained lead paint. If I had been you I would have done lead detection tests on the painted surfaces before stripping it off.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you so much! I always do the lead check, but I stopped filming it in each video. Especially when I have big projects like this one. Thanks again!

В наших аппаратах это был цельный корпус, который снимался сразу весь. Вместо рычагов были кнопки, которые после пробивки чека возвращались в исходное положение. Был еще электромотор, но можно было работать и без него. Огромное спасибо за это видео! Вроде как вернулся на 40 лет назад!

What a fabulous machine. And after nearly three-quarters of a century, it was still in reasonably good shape.

We also can tell it was situated in Cologne at the time. The seizure seal bears the mark of the Cologne magistrate, and Bailiffs don't travel outside their area of responsibility in Germany.

Unfortunately the records available online about seizure seals are thin, so I can't even begin to date that seal.
