I was thinking about the same thing. Nowadays everything is purely pragmatic and cheap. If a things' purpose isn't too look good, it doesn't. This is really sad to me. We are surrounded by plastic, worthless, one -use stuff :(
This register is one beautiful piece of equipment. You done an amazing job at restoring it back to it's glory! The color is just beautiful! I bet it weighs a ton!
Considering the large amount of parts involved on the inside of this cash register to make it work again, much less the work to restore the beauty of the exterior, this was a truly remarkable restoration. Well done.
I did not expect a seemingly mundane object like a cash register to be so ornate and complicated. It must've costa fortune back in the day. And it's built like a tank too. Even has special washers that prevent nuts from coming loose from vibrations. Nice to see this unusual piece of history back in working order, looking like new again.
That was the day when things were made to last and products Made In the USA lasted. It was Made in the USA in the late 60's to early 70's. In 1973 was when the President gave to China a lot of manufacturing and afterward manufacturing was being shipped off to other countries as well and the Made in the USA died. We have been running around 'servicing each other' since then which is why we have realized poor quality products and having to buy them more often. Even today, we can buy "Made in the USA" products such as stoves/ranges, but the parts are made in China or elsewhere. It was sad to see the industry in my area become a ghost town with all of those empty buildings rotting.
This is mind-boggling. I am in awe of your attention to detail and your mechanical ability. Watching this is a refreshing change to all the negative drama and nonsense out there. Thank you ❤
Absolutely gorgeous and timeless. Glad you kept as much original as possible. So incredible to see something so beautiful restored to it’s former glory. They just don’t make anything like that anymore
I never fail to be surprised at the level of artistry & detail in things from the past- just a cash register, & yet, it looks so much more complex & beautiful than its modern equivalent....
I was a cash register technician in my youth and I worked in the 80's with one of the last NCR trained technicians on the old "Brassies". Thank you for keeping one more alive.
All those little parts working together, and covered in gilding from head to toe. They sure made a glorious contraption didn't they. Thanks for taking all that time to restore it, it looks great.
This is my first video from this channel, but I can already tell I’m gonna keep coming back. I love how they gave the known history on the register! It makes it feel 100% more satisfying seeing it finished. If the original owner were to see it all fixed up I know he’d be through the moon.
@@BOMReviews the fact you share the history of the piece is definitely unique and helps you stand out! I can’t wait to see what other content you choose to make!
I have NEVER in my life seen such skill and professionalism as having been shown in this video! Quite obviously, this was not your "first rodeo"! Being "mechanically challenged" myself, I do so admire your talent!
There’s a restaurant here in my home town that still uses one of these. They do offer credit card payments still. But I always take cash to see them use the old till.
How wonderful. From the 1930s to the 1970s my father had an old National Cash Register similar to this one. It was in his drug store in Brooklyn NY called Chessler's Pharmacy. His machine was not as fancy, but the keys were the same, dollars only going up to $9. I never saw anybody spend more than that. We lived across the street and I would clean the store, for 65 cents an hours, and then hang out with him at night, often playing chess. Mostly open until 9 PM. Our register never worked electrically, but the crank worked just fine. At night he would leave some money in the register and leave the cash drawer partly open, so if he was broken into they would not break the register. After he retired he brought the cash register home. I knew right away that is was an antique treasure. But in Brooklyn in the 1970s what could I do with it? My parents were old and died within a decade, and my brother had no interest in old things. I did. But it was another twenty years before I had a house with a garage and basement to tinker with an old cash register. So I took it apart, not as carefully as this fellow did. Just for the fun of using tools. There was no chance that it would ever have a second life like this one has. I think about that register, and my father and his drug store, all the time. I really enjoyed this video. More about National Cash Register in Dayton. NCR in Dayton played a big role in winning WW2. Instead of registers they made ''Bombe'' machines, that gizmo that English genius Alan Turing invented that broke the German Enigma machine codes. NCR made a thousand 'Bombes' and the Navy sent 1000 female officers, all college graduates and good at math and puzzles and languages, to operate them and decode where German U-Boats were hunting. Then the navy sent destroyers and baby flat tops to sink them. Thanks to NCR and the USN, the U-Boat war was won by May 1943. U-Boats were the only thing that Churchill said he was ever really afraid of.
Thanks for sharing. Poor Alan Turing didn’t have a good life after it was revealed he was homosexual, he was given a choice of two things for his punishment: prison or chemical castration! He chose the latter! Sadly in 1954 he hung himself. He was still a genius & should have been given a knighthood (even posthumously) for all the incredibly hard work he did.
I live in Minnesota and my great great grandfather was from Bavaria Germany also. He immigrated to Wisconsin and opened the Regenfuss Brewery, they closed in 1933. It’s sad cause our family has no physical items from the brewery because it was all taken by collectors. I hope to one day get a beer crate or something with our name on it.
I am absolutely blown away by your attention to detail. You make it look so easy, but this video shows that you really know so much about machinery, electronics and restoration. Absolutely beautiful. I am a new subscriber!
That was amazing to watch. I am from Dayton, and to see those still working after 107 years is just simply amazing. Though I agree with other commenters and would have liked to have seen the mechanical innards focused on too, to be honest.
100 years from now, these machines will still work. And every current computer, calculator and electronic register will be a brick. Doesn’t mean they’re better - just that the technology had a completely different life span.
That's what had me riveted as well. My family used to run a bakery on 7th St. just down the road from his saloon during the same time frame. When prohibition came around we made bootleg rye and other things on the down low. I can't help but wonder if this register ever rang up any of my family's products.
@@Torrath7411 ooOOoo. that would be really cool if it did, then you could say "it's some what part of your history" :D How do you bootleg Rye? as in rye bread? or the rye alone?
It comes down to individual taste.....But I prefer the original patina of the outer casing to the polished end result. Fantastic work! Thank you for taking the time to document this amazing restoration.
the marble plate on the top of the cash drawer is to prevent counterfeit coins. Real silver coins make a certain sound. So they coins were tapped on the marble plate and if it sounded good, a sale.
Just beautiful. I love seeing the inner workings of things and it is nice to see someone who can do this kind of work without ending up with a dozen leftover pieces!
14:35 You wander into a hat shop. There's hats everywhere with large feather plumes and colorful flowers. You hear the registers crank and chime with every checkout. The staff are working hard so the customers are satisfied.
What an increadibly beatiful and perfect machinery, made with a quality that today would not even be thougth of in addition to the care of aesthetics and in every detail of its construction. If even the serial number made on a beautiful plate in the form of a label, perfectly carved, the numbers rich in quality, durability and beauty, there is if my saliva ran throughout the video dreaming of being able to at least restore something of that wonderful creation. So much beauty that surrounded people at that time 100 years and more ago, the arquitecture in the same way created, with opulence, quality and designed to last forever, a real commitment in what was done to make it wonderful and eternal, the clothes, furniture, etc. Everything, everything done spectacularly.
The reason why many old cash registers had a piece stone like marble on them was to check is coins were real since they made a certain sound when tapped. It seems odd now that someone would try to pass a stamped slugs that were fake back then but it was worth their time since most got back real ones in change. Suspect coins didn't sound the same when tapped and since most were made to look like Silver etc but made of cheaper metals sounded different when checked. Using coins was quite common for daily use unlike paper currency during those times since most purchases at times were well under 5$ with many not exceeding 1$ on average.
I think I could take one of these things apart - I think. But what I certainly couldn't do would be to put it back together again in working order. Respect for your skills.
It's awesome to see a true Professional do his/her job! I wonder if Como Park Pharmacy was the client? It must weigh over 150lbs? No one is ever going to run away with it.
a professional wouldn't have ruined the sign, and would have tested stain to match the original, and wouldn't have polished the patina, and would have done a basic amount of carpentry. none of what he did was professional
I watched the whole 38:14, expecting at the end, I could see this beauty lights up, working like a charm, making that "cha-ching" sound, and printing a receipt. Well, maybe next time. Great work that gave the seasoned beauty a second life. I'm guessing before this machine was invented, a cashier had to handwrite a receipt.
I've refurbished a few things myself. Things that were basically worthless in their current state so I had nothing to lose, but never would I dare to go so deep into a cash register like this one. So complicated. Hats off to you for making it new again. But I was hoping to see the printing mechanism working and an actual printout of the receipt. I bet you can't find the right paper for it. Ever think of cutting a larger size down? We used to do it a printshop I worked at for our web presses. They're similar to what you always see newspapers being printed on in the movies. Only problem then would be the inside diameter of the spool. But I think it could be possible, don't you think?
At first when you showed the date on the bottom of the cash drawer written on the guarantee where it says 4-17-14, I was like “wow they still made vintage-type registers in 2014?” And then I had to stop and be like “wait I’m stupid” lol that’s crazy how it even has the name of the person it was originally built for and everything
Умели же раньше делать «живые» вещи... Вроде обычный кассовый аппарат, который ежедневно применялся в любом магазине, а выглядит, как штучное произведение искусства. Чувствуется, что в этой вещи есть душа. А сейчас всё безликое, пластмассовое, штампованное, безо всякого намёка на уникальность. Что в США в начале прошлого века, что в Российской Империи, да даже и в СССР делали вещи с душой, «живые» вещи. Хоть и прогресс на дворе, но мы деградируем, ребята. Хорошо, что есть люди, которые сохранили уникальные артефакты прошлого, и мы можем ими любоваться
Beautiful job. The old NCR machines were as much art as function. The only thing I’d have done different is to find a piece of quarter cut oak for the front drawer panel. Thank you for sharing your talent and patience 😊
Это шедевр! Сродни медитации,можно смотреть часами на то,как мастер прикасается к истории и через это прикосновение дает понять ценность культуры ремесла народа и нации.Спасибо огромное!!!
They are such a work of art. I would have gotten tore apart and not been able to get it back together. My only minor criticism would be I would have liked to see the sign hand painted again instead of vinyl lettering.
This was a fantastic restoration. You should be proud. I hope either you or whomever you might sell it to takes extra good care of it. I am 62 and I can remember a local hardware store owner using an old cash register similar to this one. Also, my cousin had a store in North Carolina and she used one similar as well. This would have been in the mid and late 60's. Take care and thank you.
After watching each painstaking step until the “ O 💩” moment with the accidental removal of the painted lettering, I lost it. That was hilarious but also a nice reminder that it happens to the best of us. Nice recovery, though. ☺️
It is a pity that you didn't try to save the quarter sawn oak veneer which is Always the first thing seen. Cheesy stained wood detracts it's value and looks like crap! The unit should have been dipped in a vat of Oleaic Acid and blown dry to remove all the gum. Treat it like a clock refurb. Clock oil should be used to bring it back. Disassemble the motor and clean the stator contacts.
Astounding! I cannot imagine how he remembered hot to put it all back together! Only one comment, the front deserved to be replaced with burled oak, not stained pine.
I wonder how many people and how long it took to make this register. From wood workers to blacksmiths, it must have been a large number of people over a long time to make this.
Wow! I, too, appreciate the beauty and craftmanship back in the early 20th century. Everything was a work of art. I wonder if the restorative craftsman found the family that is attached to the owner.
Блестящая работа, мастер! Сколько у Вас терпения и усидчивости! Какой шедевр создали люди более ста лет назад - настоящее произведение искусства! Изящная и в тоже время многофункциональная машина! А какое качество! Механизм, можно сказать, до сих пор в исправности! Спасибо, очень интересно узнавать новое!
I always tell myself this; make sure you've done your homework. Leave nothing unfinished. Even though it's good work restoring, an old cash register. Having it become, as good as new.
Beautiful restoration. Well done. Really enjoyed watching your work. 👏 Does your state electrical code discourage you from using cloth mains cable, as that would have been a very nice touch. Did you get lamps to fit the sign, or are the fittings obsolete now? I'm from over the pond, so I don't know about USA regulations etc.
Would have been awesome if you had included a demonstration of how to actually use it, including showing it ringing up sales, and printing a receipt.....
I love the way things looked back then. Everything was ornamented. Everything was beautiful: cash registers, park benches, lamp posts. Beautiful job.
Everything was infested with bugs and rodents.

I cant believe you can remember where everything goes after you've taken it apart. You must really be satisfied at the end of the day. Good job
To me, that's the most impressive part. He probably has some sort of system to keep track of it all. I guess that's a trade secret....lol.
Every time I see restorations, I think that they just play the disassembly phase in reverse
Good old times. No cheap plastic. Only metal and wood and glass.
And the designer , a true genius. Imagine imagining the machine without CAD.
Trial and error 🥲
Taking it apart is one thing… but putting it back together? Genius
a lot more patience than me
Beautiful. Both the craftsmanship of the item itself as well as your expertise bringing it back to life. I wish things were made this well today.

Wow! I, too, appreciate the beauty and craftmanship back in the early 20th century. Everything was a work of art. I wonder if the restorative craftsman found the family that is attached to the owner.
Блестящая работа, мастер! Сколько у Вас терпения и усидчивости! Какой шедевр создали люди более ста лет назад - настоящее произведение искусства! Изящная и в тоже время многофункциональная машина! А какое качество! Механизм, можно сказать, до сих пор в исправности! Спасибо, очень интересно узнавать новое!
In my town a cloths shop use one Cash Register like this ^^ runnin very well :)
I love how they put "CASH" on top of the register in big, bold print. As opposed to what? Credit cards? Crypto?

You did a great job. I knew of someone who did this in NE Ohio. It is like restoring an old car that would not work.
That result is gorgeous, what a nice and fancy piece 👍
I always tell myself this; make sure you've done your homework. Leave nothing unfinished. Even though it's good work restoring, an old cash register. Having it become, as good as new.
Крутая касса...
Галя! У нас отмена!!!
Beautiful. Thank you for saving history!
What is truly amazing is that a person had the ability to create this 100 yrs ago!
Please don't stop making videos! I really enjoy any of them!
Beautiful restoration. Well done. Really enjoyed watching your work. 👏 Does your state electrical code discourage you from using cloth mains cable, as that would have been a very nice touch. Did you get lamps to fit the sign, or are the fittings obsolete now? I'm from over the pond, so I don't know about USA regulations etc.
You are amazing I love the way you fixed this old cash register.
Nice work you did a great job. Disappointed that I didn't get to see those lights shine 😞.
Wow! It's unbelievable! The best restoration I've ever seen.
Such a rich story behind that beautiful renovation. Thank you!
Damn that thing must be a real diamond in the rough. it's in such good condition for its age and it probably cost an arm and a leg to pay for it.
Would have been awesome if you had included a demonstration of how to actually use it, including showing it ringing up sales, and printing a receipt.....
Thank you, I really enjoyed every minute. Great work.
Well done! What a gorgeous piece of machinery. 👍
Amazing! How could you possibly remember how to put it back together. What a job! Beautiful.
excellent work, you are very professional and your work is incredible, I admire you!
That was beautiful to watch! Well done!
i was kind of hoping to see this nightmarish contraption completely dissassembled, but that's understandable.
You are AMAZING!!! I try to restore antiques but watching you I’m a joke 😅
Incredible work!!! The attention to detail is super impressive! You got it to look brand new! That’s so impressive!! Well done!! 💯💯💯
Increíble! Grandísimo trabajo! Enhorabuena! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
wood filler: the forbidden peanut butter
