Fun but useless fact. Early versions of the register didn't have a "ding". One shopowner was tired of his thieving personnel, so he invented a way he could hear when the register was opened. He later patented and founded his own register company.

Now I want to see him restoring an old typewriter

There was a Tom Thumb Grocery Store where my Mom shopped and they had a coloring contest and I won. My prize was a pink cash register just like this one that came with play money and my Dad made me food out of wood and I played with that pretty pink register nonstop for a few years, I wonder whatever happened to it? That was late 50’s early 60’s. When the drawer opened it dinged...drove my Mom crazy. She probably got tired of that constant ding and retired it. Thanks for the memory of a great toy!!

Comments: how’d he remember where things go?

Video footage from camera: Am I a joke to you?

This makes me think, no matter how advanced the tech gets, things that are made of analog can outlast anything digital.

In today's society where nearly everything seems to be disposable, it's great to see great old toys like this restored to original...if not better. A new generation gets to enjoy something made 50-60 years ago.

I know literally nothing about restoration, but these videos are so calming to watch. As someone with anxiety, these videos are very helpful for me

Aww, no lead test? I love the lead test!!! I don't know why. Beautiful restoration as always.

The sandblasting is like coloring to a whole new level

@2degucitas 7 years ago

Ah the days when toys were made of tin held together by metal tabs.

@mattmoves5920 7 years ago

Nice job. Can you fix my soul?

@ricog8209 7 years ago

Nice job. I'd be too stressed trying to remember how to get this put back togather correctly but you did it like a pro.

@AtlCinderella80 6 years ago

How does he remember how to put it back together, I'd never

@carolynholody9281 3 years ago

What amazes me is not only how fantastic it looks after he sandblasts and paints, but how he remembers how it all goes back together!

Whoever gives thumbs down to his restoration videos are jealous of his craftsmanship!

@jasonsummit1776 7 years ago

This is the first time that I have watched a restoration on here where powder coat was used instead of spray paint, now that takes class. awesome job!👍
