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.
