NCR Class 1500 Cash Register

This register came from my family's flower shop, Charvat the Florist.   It was removed from service in about 1986 and given to me as a young child.  Back then I had all kinds of fun punching the keys with my friends and storing money in it.  In 2019 i found it to be locked-up. I wanted to make it work again for my kids to play with.  Below is theh story of theh most complex mechanical restoration that I've undertaken.
