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.
That actually makes sense Preske. There were no cameras back then or much of any security systems in place, so people had to come up with their own security measures.
That man was James Ritty. He'd later go on to found the NCR corporation, one of the largest register companies in the world even today.
Preske that was an interesting idea; how innovative of him.
@@Creeperboy099 yes, but he took the idea to the the mainstream and became huge. He could have kept the idea to himself and be unknown to history today. Instead, his company lives on long after his death.
Preske contrary to what you think, this fact is very useful and thanks for it! 👍🏼👍🏼
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!👍
Not gonna lie. I never knew powder coating existed. Comes out beautifully!
Kellie G ...we're never too old to learn! What you also don't know then, is that powder coating is like a hundred times more durable than paint, the finish feels more like porcelain...
@@Quickened1 How exactly does the powder stick to the object and what is the machine/device that it goes into to 'dry' afterwards? Very cool video!
@@jasonb3907 static electricity, basically. Different electrical charges
@@tedderjason ahh okay I see, very interesting. Jason lookin' out for Jason, you da man! :D
Aww, no lead test? I love the lead test!!! I don't know why. Beautiful restoration as always.
Exactly what I was thinking. I was checking the comments to see if I was the only one lol
@@thispersonistedious1101 turns out you’re both weird lead freaks
@@funkychilldude we love the lead test
@@deligeorgieva8535 love a good lead test
@@jaxsyncollins the lead test is important, and 40 percent of the fun in watching this dude''s restoration videos. The cracking sounds they make are **chef's kiss*
Comments: how’d he remember where things go?
Video footage from camera: Am I a joke to you?
LOL
it is true
@Athrun Bjorn Rosalda wish I could memorize something that complicated or I would have an A in math
Exactly! I always take photos or short videos every time I disassemble something complex unless I'm familiar with it. It saved me more than one time. Nothing worse than spend hours fixing something and when you finish reassembling it you find a lone piece laying around that was supposed to go somewhere...
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
Same. Almost akin to ASMR.
Ikr!
So true I also have anxiety and for some reason these are calming
Same here! Also check out Almazan kitchen! That's one of my favorite channels.
My favorite part is the sand blasting it’s so satisfying
Now I want to see him restoring an old typewriter
ISO que ele fãs é maneiro
agreeeeee
I have an old typewriter, i wish i could ask him to restore and make a video out of it
Or the 1950s?
How about restoring an IBM Model D Executive? That is an electric typebar machine "WITH" proportional spacing. They were a PAI to work on back when.........................
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!
The sandblasting is like coloring to a whole new level
Your name is RUclips algorithme
It kind if looks like he is spraying it with grey paint
It's like reverse coloring. You're taking the color away XD
Man, that paint job was impeccable, as many have said. Never seen a powder coating on a restoration, fascinating to watch.
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.
That's where filming helps a lot ;)
@Sun Flower Thanks for the Grammer lesson "Our Miss Brooks"
@Sun Flower Maybe Kelsey?! ;)
I’m right there with you! I’d be afraid that all those tiny notches would be rusted through and they’d break when I tried to snap them together, or twist them/bend them closed. I’m shuddering just thinking about it. lol
Id be Ok I am sure it goes here ??? yes filming is good !!
This makes me think, no matter how advanced the tech gets, things that are made of analog can outlast anything digital.
You said it and it dont glitch.
Which is why I love mechanical watches.. especially antique American pocket watches
@@DocIdaho they are the best watch the railroad used them becase they where spot on.
Analogs are simply “built different”
They can't be hacked too
Toys like this really bring home the kind of design and engineering ingenuity that existed in the days before batteries were a widespread phenomenon.
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!!
Moms being annoyed by noisy toys... since 1950! LOL
thats adorable thanks for sharing
That's not good wish u had it
Had to like cause you were at 666 and this comment is far too pure for that
Nice job. Can you fix my soul?
Well my heart in my nickname is.....
edgY
would need a lot of sand blasting ...
Are you made out of metal?
Edgy :/
I love how, even after being restored, it still FEELS old. Like, not just because it's clearly a vintage or antique toy, but it's almost as if he just reached under all that rust and brought out the stories hiding inside. It's hard for me to describe, but that's the feeling I get from watching these.
My thought when he's pulling it out of the kiln: "Yummy, fresh baked cash register!"
I think it is supposed to be a meat smoker
It’s called a kiln I always said heat box thing?!
Hahaha
@@Percys_corner lol
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.
Kirby York agreed, I have this toy slot machine that’s poker instead of regular slots. All it needs is rewiring & some of those coil springs that make contact with the batteries you insert
In today's frenzy of DIY I would think someone would bring back the art of making good sturdy tin toys or metal made toys.
Bruh kids don’t even use toys anymore , just video games basically
Ok boomer
Daniel Garcia overused jokes aren’t funny
Great rust removal with the blasting and then the powder coating is top notch. Having said that though, would have greatly appreciated the lettering on the buttons to be repainted.
entropyMUSE agreed, leaving the buttons worn out took away from a otherwise beautiful restoration.
I don't mind that, I just would like for him to show the cleaning of them.
@@Thesotochannelblock I kind of felt the same way about the black drawer. Not sure if it was plastic or metal, but it looked kind of messy compared to all the nice new paint.
@@Halfcocked1222 SEM makes a plastic/vinyl paint that stays adhered to the plastic. ...It does a great job in restoring faded or discolored hard plastics.
Seems that he just remove rust and repaint.
How does he remember how to put it back together, I'd never
well he has the video of him taking it apart :)
he takes pictures of how it's assembled. it's how i do it.
@@EvelynMaya1 that is true I do that when I do it I dont outfit on you tube
Put it
@@Airwrecka1980 ????????????????
I've got a question. Do you keep the things that you restore, or do you sell them?
good question
Ff
Maybe they restore them for people? Like Baumgartner restoration
I think he keeps some and gives away others like this one
Maybe they get commissioned to restore stuff
I'd literally just watch sand blasting videos for like an hour that is so satisfying
PRINCE ZUKO! HI!
Ohhh try watching some pressure-watching videos. Same kind of thing, but outdoors. :)
@@conniemartin4878 that sounds exactly like something I'd enjoy
Well done!
Also thank you for not having bad music and annoying annotations!
I just LOVE watching you paint with the powder. I didn't even know that was a thing until I saw your stuff. The finish just looks stunning
Tom Thumb was a small store my GranMa used to take me to ..they had penny candy.. an fountain soda.... Good memories of her come back as I watched you restore the register! Thanks for sharing your life with us an all you do!!! ✌🏼🧡😊❣️
Rust: *exists*
Rescue and Restore: I’m about to end this man’s whole career.
Elegar
tHeSE JokES AReNt eVeN FUnnY 😡😡😡😡😡😡😭😭😭😭😭
LMFAOOO
Janet Turner that meme is as stale as that dusty box of week old donuts at the corner store.
Janet Turner are those emojis meant to be ironic? Because they’re making me cringe.
Rusty vintage item: *exists*
Rescue and Restore: I’m about to *start* this man’s whole career.
not even when it was released from the factory it had such quality...
damn, you've me addicted to your content
I am amazed by the folks that come up with the designs and plans of these things...blows me away.
Love this one, can really see how everything was made!
This was clearly stamped out of metal and bent into place! It's really cool
Perfect videos! No stupid music, no narration, just straight-up restoration! ❤️
When i saw the works at 2:30 i said out loud, "Oh dear." I wasn't sure how i would have faced that mechanism.
I had this same cash register. I love watching you restore old toys.
So nice to see an item from the past being saved from a land fill. You do beautiful work!
Whoever gives thumbs down to his restoration videos are jealous of his craftsmanship!
Absolutely. Talentless snowflakes who are jealous of folks with talent ESPECIALLY if they dare turn into a business!! 😒
Just negative people that can't do a thing.
I think the Negative reviews is the Rust!
It's usually armchair restoration experts who wish they had the skills and tools he has.
Must be the other recommended videos from guys trying to duplicate what he does
The ding of the drawer opening at the end was very satisfying
Вот это игрушки были раньше у деток.Развивали,учили уму разуму.Руки золотые.Такие шедевры вышли.Думаю лучше новых стали.
И главное всё было железным, надёжным, а не как сейчас одноразовый пластик. Сломал, выкинул и забыл.
With me being a cashier from 1985 to 2018..... This is AWESOME to see being restored...
RR: does something
Me every 30 seconds: Oh, that's beautiful!
I just found this channel and that has been my legitimate reaction! I love restoration videos, especially ones with no annoying music
*You’re* beautiful
You really go out of your way to get the most extremely grungiest things to restore. Where do you find them. You must have your own antique junkyard. You do a great job restoring everyone of your projects.
I go to a lot of antique stores and flea markets. Thank you!
I love restorations. The toys which were a part of my life come back the second I see one being restored. Thank you for boosting good memories!
I love vintage green ! 😎 cool . Amazing how you remember how to put pieces back
Trust me. The creater of this must be proud of you because you re-do this thing
Unless they ded
Bloomy Boo they obviously dead but i belive he meant from heaven
I enjoy these allot seeing them go from rusted and withered to a amazing and brand new looking piece.
THIS WAS MY TOY CASH REGISTER! What memories you brought back to me! Thank you!
Your videos are wonderful! I hear so often that it is best not to restore antiquities, but I don’t think the “experts” that espouse that viewpoint can have seen how carefully, exactingly and lovingly you restore these items. It is so satisfying to see your process and the beautiful results. Thank you! ❤️
Ah the days when toys were made of tin held together by metal tabs.
I wondered if anyone else would notice. Not a single screw or bolt in sight!
@@GEKay-xt2cq
It was a real art designing these toys.
@@GEKay-xt2cq yea i was thinking of that, no rusted bolts or screws or welding or grinding, excellent work albeit pretty straightforward , take apart, blast, coat, put together. still bloody good though
How many times can those tin tabs be bent before they finally break?
Those days seem like the good day where it doesnt take forever to put together
The little bent tabs that we see so much in these restoration videos is such a brilliant technique. Wow kudos to the old makers
R&R: Posts 8 hour video of nothing but sand blasting.
Me: Watches intently
That sand blasting (don't know correct term)is soooooo satisfying
Yes, it's almost like rewinding time!
@@jasontodd8071 yeah true.
Love the powder coating. This puppy will last a very long time now.
I have a tom thumb antique toy cash register let's say three of them of different kinds in my antique cash register collection way awesome!!! Enjoyed seeing you restore yours such a blast especially for a antique cash register collector!
Pretty good testament to the toy builder that it survived to be restored. Back when toys and other items were built with pride and built to last. Pretty fascinating video.
I love it when he blows that thing on the rust and it makes it look almost brand new it is just so fascinating to me
And I cant even assemble Furniture correctly with instructions
Pro tip: get rid of the instructions before assemblage.
IKEA?
So calming. I love your videos. Thank you for not adding music.
Fabulous!!!🙌 You are a surgeon of metal! I also applaud your non use of chemicals to remove rust. Every piece you restore is art in motion. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Impressive. You did a better job restoring that than it ever looked brand new!
Do you ever start a project and think "Aw, hell, what have I gotten myself into?"
Duh lol
Yup ... it was called "marriage".
This is such an adorable little cash register! I own a less-fancy one that used to be my grandmother's. She allowed my sisters and me to play with it when we were little and we loved it! It's red and doesn't have a brand name or safe, but it was (and still is) super fun to press the buttons and hear the "ding" as the drawer opens. They honestly don't make things like they used to.
I used to play with these all of the time when I was a little kid! Talk about nostalgia! Both sets of my grandparents had these and I loved playing with them!
Powder coating was awesome idea - maybe wasn’t a thing when the piece was made, though I have no clue how long powder-coating has been around, other than presumably longer than liquid painting. Outstanding restoration. 👏
That’s a beautiful restoration... with that powder coating... it’s better than original! What a great job you did!!!
Indeed.. I've never seen powder coatings used before so I've learned a new thing. I love seeing new techniques.
Toys were well made and this is why you can refurbish them. Great job!
I love the color scheme you went with on this restore. It reminds me of a '55 Bel-Air paint scheme.
I'd be proud as hell to display this in my garage with an old tri-five chevy and a restored gas pump.
This dude uses insane equipment that I didn’t even know existed.
Like what? Powder coat?
M MMM probably talking about the sandblasted if I had to guess
@@MMMM-sm2rm buffing wheels too
He’s a little one man factory 👍🏻👍🏻
I was thinking the same thing.
It would be nice to have some historical info about the piece. Where did you get it from, what year was it made, etc...
My wife's gandfather invented the Tom Thumb cash register.
I really like these videos how do you get all of these antiques
I just subscribed after watching a train restore..I saw this and as I am from a time where for sometime in my child hood and earlier days of growing their were common in shops..I had a smaller not so nice as this one and my brother and I raided Mums cupboards and spent many rainy days playing shop in the dining room..Happy memories .You have done a wonderfully sympathetic job of restoring this and bringing the past into the future 😀
I had this register as a kid. This was wonderful to watch.
Anyone else think the sand blasting is so satisfying 😍
Yes! It is!
This is great job. We need more people like this that can restore instead of owners dumping object.
@Bryan this CR could be used now
I LOVE watching these videos of people restoring old things to their former glory!
I had one of those about 45 yrs ago! Omg....now I want it back, you made it look exactly as I remember it.
They sure don't make toys of this robust quality any more. It would cost a small fortune to make one of those from todays metal prices. I miss my metal Tonka truck.
“robust”
This is amazing, and this color is so cute, I love vintage stuff, and all your job is so meticulously done, is so refreshing, I love it
That ding at the end was sooooo satisfying!
Thanks for posting all the products you use. I now have a shopping list and the motivation to get started based on your video’s!
Why do I actually want this so bad? 😂
after seeing this I got an old letter card holder that I plan to restore because your videos inspired me to start wanting to restore vintage stuff. This is awesome.
Finally, YT recommendation worked as it should. Instant subscription!
Same! 🤩
You made the reassembly look so easy! Incredible job!!
These videos make me admire the work that got put in to originally making these toys.
I got one in 1966 on my birthday. I Still have it, i was 8 years old then.
I too had one when my brothers and I were children. I think I will go to my dad's and look for it. Ours was red.
@@fronniebealer7808 Mine is red too.
So you were born in 1958?
@@unordsmec , yep born 1958.
1959 here, I remember these types in stores where the numbers popped up and the toy ones like this
This man can reassemble anything.
I'm blown away that you got all those mechanisms back together!
I would not have believed it possible had I not seen so many of your amazing videos before. I stand in awe and admiration of your remarkable talents.
Just found your channel this morning and watched this and the Tonka restoration. Wow what an amazing result to such beautiful old toys restored to new great job and I look forward to the next video
Unbelievable what you can do with old toys. Do you sell them after? You have the patience of a saint. I am sincerely amazed how you breathe new life into these old toys. ❤️
These videos are actually perfect if you want to know how these things are made.
Brings back memories. I've forgotten that my grandmother had one of these and I used to play with it as a child. I seem to remember the flags getting jammed up all the time. Good work.
In my opinion this should be in a museum! It's that good of a restoration. Just seems like a very important piece, I really appreciate these videos. This is once again an amazing job!
Such a nice restorarion. While primers and paints still hold value, powdercoat sure does have a nice finish. Cant wait for your next project!
Seeing something restored in my favorite color just hits different 🤩
This is so satisfying to watch. These videos helping me through my panic attacks..
I love the sandblasting! So satisfying 😂 I also love seeing these things come back to life. Fascinating 👍
Only 4 videos and this guy is gonna break records on RUclips. You'll see.
It is relaxing to see work with those excellent results. Without the distracting music, original sounds. You are genious
Totally amazing how you were able to take it all apart and then put it back together. Fantastic job 👍
Просто супер! Особенно кассовый аппарат ! Все из жести, сложные механизмы, в детстве был маузер на пистонах очень его любил, жаль пистоны бумажные были дефицит))) Желаю удачи Вам, побольше игрушек из прошлого!
these videos de-stress me, and idk why, but i love it
same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because watching this restoration is orderly and tidy and comes to a neat, logical, satisfying conclusion. I love them, too.
I also love old things being made anew, instead if being scrapped or thrown away. Makes my "old soul" heart happy.
@@cachelnewbauer Who doesn't love seeing old things being restored? My brother in law has restored a lot of old wooden furniture and he's really good at it. I once suggested that he should turn his skills into a business and call his business the Morris Hardwood Furniture Restoration Agency. I even came up with an awesome slogan for the idea: "What type of wooden furniture you own is your business; helping you restore it is mine!"
I would straight up sell my soul just to look at that beautiful shade of blue some more. My favorite color, in rare form, out in the wild. An awesome job 👌
Sand blasting looks fun and therapeutic
