try hitting up local arts groups? or hacker maker spaces? or a farmers
market they might be able to lend or rent one out for cheap

This is not a sales pitch, I promise.
My daughter is going to be selling PCB earrings at the upcoming
ECCC/VCFMW show, as she did last year. This year, she's asked how much
a cash register would cost, so she could look "professional" (she's 9,
it's cute, I know).
So, I thought: I have a tiny CBM-compatible 2.5" printer sitting here
doing nothing, a C64 or VIC is easy to pull off the shelf, wiring up a
small LCD is no issue, and I have cartridge stock to make an autorun
cart. But, I am lacking a cash drawer. I've looked online, but I'd
rather not spend $50-100 on something that has marginal utility...
Thus, I'm wondering if someone on list has an old beat up drawer (with a
spring and solenoid) they'd be interested in offloading inexpensively or
donating...

Ahh, crap! I just junked out a complete Panasonic electronic register that
took a power hit, about a month ago. Wish I had known, I could have sent it
to you just for the shipping. I'm sort of limited on space here though, and
never really thought about keeping it around for parts.
Sorry 'bout that. Sounds like a cool project though. :)
