    What’s the value of this? And where could I find operating instructions for it, or others? I assume they would all work about the same? Some of the buttons engage, others don’t.

    Hi
    I have a National Cash Register, Serial Number 3230100, 7222. Where the cash register tape would go it is broken and we can’t get it open. It looks like there is a combination under a tab with National name on it so maybe it is locked. I think it could be repaired just as a decoration. It is black with chrome trim. Thanks for any help you can give. What do you think the ballpark value is?

    Hi..I’m looking at a national cash register and will be contacting you for parts when I get at the register that is if I need any of course. Just looking for a ball park price before I buy it. It appears to work ok. The serial number is S127479. Then below that it has 552.5.F. Some papers on it indicates class 500..900 another paper says “secondhand register guarantee” Nov 18 1919. It has A finish. All the drawers work and the keys are there…along with a marble plate. Any help would be great..thx Chad
