Vintage Model 515 “Zip Zap” Imprinter – New in Original Box (Display Only)

We have been given permission to sell this brand new Model 515 Imprinter, still housed in its original box, complete with new, unused packets of Debit and Visa Merchant Card Off-Line Payment Vouchers, Merchant Envelopes and Instructions.

The Model 515 imprinter—commonly known as the “Zip Zap” machine—earned its nickname from the distinctive sound it made when imprinting customer card details and retailer information onto paper vouchers. These machines were widely used by retailers prior to electronic payment terminals, and retailers continued to use them during electronic Eftpos terminal outages and power cuts before decommission around 2020.

This unit does not include a merchant plate, as retailers originally used their own customised sales plates. These imprinters are now obsolete and are no longer in operational use.

Due to its age and discontinued function, this item is being sold strictly as a display or collector’s piece—ideal for:

• Vintage banking or retail collections

• Shop, café, or museum displays

• Props or historical memorabilia collections

Condition:

• Imprinter: Brand new, unused

• Packaging: Original box

• Vouchers: Brand new, unused

Please note: This item is sold for display purposes only and is not suitable for modern payment processing.
