Restoration details: Restoration date: February-April 2024 My aim was to save and restore this beauty back to it's original, near new condition so it can be loved for another 100 years. Due to the poor condition of the machine, it's been stripped back to the bare bones. Missing parts were identified and original replacements shipped from the US. All other parts have been restored and lubricated. Broken glass has been replaced, new key checks have be replaced as broken and peeling off. All brass parts have been restored to near new condition, cleaned, polished and lacquered. A selection of nickel parts were stripped back to it's original brass finish match all other finishing parts.
Includes: Keys, copy of original NCR Manual. I will provide training on use of register. Shipping: To be collected from Warkworth, Auckland Purchaser can discuss arrangements for a shipping company to collect at purchasers expense.
