- Oh no, I've bought myself a basket case!
In this video I'll explain exactly what this filthy mess is and how it's intended to work, then we'll take a tour around the outside of the machine.

I used to service them in the In the eighties. 255 model use in groceries store. With a 782 scanner.
I was obsessed with these machines when I would see them be used at Foleys & Joskies in Houston, Texas back in the day. I loved going to the mall with my mom & siblings!
I was trained on this in 1977; It was tough, since everyone was being trained to use it while working.
I was 20 and had just landed a hotel front office job.
I'd been using the NCR 4200, a simple posting machine and it was quite different.
I still remember the Journal credit/debit keys that gave accounting so much hell because the employees weren't used to the meaning of debit/credit in accounting terms.
The mode key was for taking the end of shift on "X" and end of day on "Z".
Love these old vintage cash register terminals,, especially the ones with the dot matrix printing heads inside,,,these were awesome and I'd love to find some for my little collection,,anyone know where I can find any of these by chance???? These are far better then the modern junk crap they have in stores today!!!!!! Great video be careful with you're back
Great video, criminally underappreciated channel. Looking forward to part 2!
Could not agree more!
It's better than today's cash registers
That was an amazing part 1, really anticipating part 2. I hope this thing doesn't crush you into oblivion before part 2 comes out.
Dude, you're doing a historic duty!
Stumbled upon your channel today - already a fan after one video
Thank you!
Great video. Thanks..BD
Show a video where you plug it in. At my 1st job at Publix in the late 80's, I operated the NCR 255's. I loved the sound and the constant beeping when the rawer was open. I actually thought they were fun.
I remember when Sears in Inglewood California went to POS equipment, and how barcode numbers were entered instead of prices. I cannot remember the maker of the terminals, but I do remember they had large multi-digit incandescent lamp color 7 segment display.
There was an earlier NCR system where all of the functions/features were programmed in machine language. A real headache I was told.
I'd say this machine dates from 1977, because Chargex became Visa in 1977, and Master Charge bece MasterCard in 1978.
I prefer finding packing peanuts rather than dead cockroaches in my old equipment.
Mmmmm peanuts
Nice
Core memory? Wow! That's a bit of an overkill for a cahsier...
I can just remember those terminals. I'm guessing EPOS technology was really taking off as IBM soon came in to take the market in the UK
SHOP RITE SUPERMARKETS 1978 USED THESE
修理してました。
Las nuevas maquinas NCR RealPOS tambien usan llaves en el teclado, 3 llaves, (Ex, R y S) con cuatro posiciones L: Lock Teclado bloqueado, R: Registro/operación normal, S: Supervisor, Ex: Programación del teclado.
I ran these at Hill's Department Store.
I wish I could find an old 255.
I worry about your back. Everything you love looks heavy.
My later years will not be by best, that's for sure.
@@CelGenStudios At least you'll have good bone density :-)
Why the lo-res video?
This was back when I had yet purchased an HD camera. Yes, this was 2020.
Here is a video of a very similar model in use from 1978 ua-cam.com/video/gR46VzCAZ8I/v-deo.html
Don't drop it on your foot...
