Hi Tony,
I am not sure of the cash register part numbers."NEC did make cash 
registers"  I used them in industrial displays found in factories. If 
you find an AIS (Advanced Industrial Systems) process display it has 
one. I have to do some digging but there were several compnaies who 
used the display.
