Old Victor Electronic Cash Register! Possible CPU?

[Redeyeburn]

I am came across this from a local seller, and I know some cpu's went into some old electronic cash registers, and I'm having trouble finding info about this particular model.

All I know about this so far is what you see in the two pictures, and asking to take a screw driver to it to have a look inside didn't seem to go so well

Is anyone familiar with these, or know what's in them, or where to find info about them?

Thanks all, and please forgive if I posted in the wrong spot!

This doesn't look like an electronic item to me. More like electro-mechanical.

I doubt that this has any electronics in it. I think it is too old

It's not computerized. You'll find a mess of switches and solenoids, and an electric motor most likely.

Hello,
it's not electronic. The **only** electrical thing you'll find inside is a large AC motor. All the rest is completely mechanical. It was a very common kind of cash register years ago, both in the USA and here in Europe. If You are interested in mechanical/electromechanical calculators, it's a very nice world of amazing engineering solutions... but nothing to do with microprocessors...!
BTW this particular model (see the label) is based upon the classical Comptometer calculating mechanism, used for years in thousand of mechanical calculators.

And that's why I ask before I buy!
Thanks everyone.

I had my doubt's when I seen those big mechanical buttons on there, but if you can't find any info on it, and can't take a look inside...you never know!

Thanks again.
Cheersz all

Hi,
here is my favourite electromechanical calculator: the swedish FACIT CA2-16. It was a fully automatic 4-operations, numeric keypad machine: very expensive at the time (around 1965). This calculator is based upon a 16 decimal digit "pin-wheel", aka "Odhner" counting mechanism. It's very well-made (weight: about 15 Kg) and works perfectly. The interior is extremely complex (wonderful, IMHO). Literally thousand of mechanic parts. Here You can see a CA-16 disassembled (not by me!) and photographed in detail: http://home.vicnet.net.au/~wolff/calculators/Tech/FacitCA2-16/CA216.htm.
BTW: I'm Italian, I like Olivetti calculators (Divisumma, Multisumma and so on), but this one is a true technological marvel...
