<p>[QUOTE="Dimefreak, post: 1104125, member: 24267"]Today started off like any other day but ending up being what I consider to be my best day in regards to collecting. The fun began when I returned home from class this afternoon and my wife informed me that I have a project waiting for me on the work bench. At first I was thinking to myself, "Gee whiz thanks for giving me something for Valentines Day." So I went down stairs and realized that the "project" was actually my Valentines day gift. She purchased me a 1000 series National Cash Register!!!</p><p><img src="http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m424/FBbreaker/DSC00186.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have restored two 300 series NCR's and have felt I was ready for something more difficult for a little while now!
