A cash register was set up as a work of art. The artist was bent and hooking up power inside it.

A hand written sign was posted on the cash register. It read, "Push The Buttons!" Depending on which combination of buttons were pushed, the cash register became a juke box and played the selected song.

The cash register appeared heavy and needed to be supported on black steel legs.

The buttons on the cash register appeared to be from an automobile repair shop. Notice that the highest amount that could be entered was $99.99.
