    Hi
    I have a National Cash Register, Serial Number 3230100, 7222. Where the cash register tape would go it is broken and we can’t get it open. It looks like there is a combination under a tab with National name on it so maybe it is locked. I think it could be repaired just as a decoration. It is black with chrome trim. Thanks for any help you can give. What do you think the ballpark value is?
