Antique National Cash Register Company Dayton Ohio USA Mechanical Cash Register

Description

I'm not even going to lie, she's in pretty rough shape, the glass on the front and back is broken out there's things and scratches and surface rust, the wooden base is broken in several spots, it is in dire need of a paint job, there's a little marble plate that sits right on top of the cash drawer in that is chipped on the side/corner and there's no key. Now for the good part, I do believe it should be still fully functional as all the buttons pressed down and make the appropriate sounds upon doing so the drawer release releases the drawer and you can feel it want to open but the lock is latched and doesn't allow it to also you can try a little bit where the latch is at with a fork or a knife and that gives it enough clearance to open the drawer that holds the cash inside although you can't see it right now has an additional lockable compartment in the back corner, I am not sure if it is keyed the same as the other two locks on this machine or not all of the bolts and little screws to hold it together are present although I have them in a seperate location as I couldn't put it back together after I took some of it I just didn't have the time to do it. The Bell on the side still rings making that iconic cha-ching cast register sound the buttons all press the reels all spin and the buttons all press, even if a full restore isn't done to it I think a quick sandblasting or just hand sanding and a coat of paint this thing is going to be a great display piece but with a little bit of knowledge and some rest still work and I think there could be a pretty nice treasure sitting here I don't have the time knowledge or interest to do so though, ships with USPS parcel select.
