 How to Collect and Restore "The Antique Cash Register" - a video series showing the history and evolution of the cash register.
The book "The Incorruptible Cashier" is like the bible for
collectors and shows a lot of cash registers in the order that they
were produced. However, each company introduced many new cash
register over the years and they made improvements and changes as they
went along. The book only shows the main machine.
I will show many variations and how they affect the value of
each models. I will also highlight the improvements and changes in
style made over the series. Operating instructions will be explained
for each series. I will also show the features and how they aided the
owner. As each series is explained, I will give a suggested value and
explain a grading system. There are a great number of variables to
pricing a register and these also will be explained. Each mechanical
style or grouping of register will have a "How To Restore" video. These
will also show the many manufacturing changes with complete teardown
and mechanical explanation. It will show adjustments and methods of
repair. These are not just for the restorer, but will give serious
insight to the collector as to the evolution of engineering and
manufacturing technique of the era.

American detail adder size 1 & 2
In an effort to compete with NCR, The American Cash Register Co. produced a detail adder style cash register. It can almost be mistaken for the NCR size 5. It has a different cabinet design and a great little selector on the left side to select the closed drawer & locked register. This DVD is a complete teardown & restoration of both the #1 & #2. The larger models are so similar that I didnt do one of the large machines.

How to repair and restore the National Cash Register 79
/ 400 / 800 crank style machines
A three (3) DVD set. The original design of this machine was the model 79. They made slightly different versions of it which used #s from 79, 80s, 90s (example 95 is just a larger 79). In 1908, in an effort to standardize the numbering system, they switched to the 400 series. They could be 416, 442, 444, 452, etc. Later after the demise of the brass machine they came out with the 800 series which had a flat metal cabinet. For all intensive purposes, all of these are the same basic machine.

New supplement to the 2 drawer, 2 counter 300 series.
The original 300 series DVD
doesnt include the 2 drawer/ 2 counter machines. Both the early models &
the 300 series offered the 2 drawer/ 2 counter machines. These were used in bars
and places where each operator needed their own drawer & individual cash
responsibility. The machine is basically the same as a single drawer but when
you add the second drawer & counter, there is a lot of extra mechanics. This
DVD shows a complete tear down & repair of this type of register. $15 plus
$5 shipping, if order with the 300 DVD you will save the shipping.

How to repair and restore the 100 to 109, 500 Series and 900 Series (Multi Total Crank Machine)
NCR invented the multi-counter machine which had separate totals for separate drawers or department total. Many of these registers had more than one drawer & usual the last number meant the number of cash drawers. Example 104 meant 100 series with 4 drawers. In 1908 they standardized the numbering system & the 100 became the 500 series. Any number that starts with a 5XX was called a 500 series. It later became the 900 series with a flat metal wood grained finish This DVD is good for all models.
