You’re the only guy I see on KZbin that uses automatic transmission fluid and acetone for removing Rusty hardware. I’ve been doing this for years and it works great.

[@OldThingsNeverDie-]

It's a tip i learnt from my friend of cool again restoration channel 😉

[@mariusmarius4878]

I think brake fluid works better. It's highly corrosive.

[@specialservicesequipment393]

I learned that one myself from an aircraft mechanic from WW2

[@minibikesandshorthikes6753]

Well atf is a detergent. But I've used it on my razor blades for my pocket knife many times. Great solution to keeping them less rusty

[@Melicoy]

is this a newer fixture he accelerated the rust?

[@TonicOrange]

god i love old industrial aesthetics, i would absolutely use this for interior decor

[@ladbrestoration]

There is a lot of work on this project, congratulations :-) love the color !

[@OldThingsNeverDie-]

Thank you buddy 🍻👍

[@joshschneider9766]

Awesome to see you here love your channel!

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

Every time I see content creators supporting each other it makes me smile. Keep up the awesome work, everyone!

[@scthomas1982]

@@OldThingsNeverDie- I hope you cleaned that bulb after touching it bare handed. The oils from your skin will burn it out super fast otherwise... And did you get a ballast for it so you could turn it on? Any grow store should have them

[@PatrickLeeUS]

@@scthomas1982 You don't need a ballast on a 240 system.

[@crazysupernovagaming3638]

I think the most amazing thing is that the bulb still worked, amazingly. Goes to show you how well things were made back in the day compared to today, where things are made to be fragile!

[@Wyatt_James]

Mercury lamps like those have an effectively indefinite lifespan. There are units from the 70s that have been on 24/7 and still output light, though at a greatly reduced brightness compared to when new.

[@kinskifilms]

On paper this looked like a pretty straightforward restoration. But the more you tore it down, the more you revealed a lot of deceptively fussy and detailed nooks and crannies. What a great video. And I agree with Cool Again Restoration: great editing and camera work.

[@Julivity]

I'm glad he put the arrow in the thumbnail, I wouldn't have seen the lamp without it.

[@ZevTheIsreali]

This channel is like if Kiwami Japan was French and significantly less bizarre. I absolutely love it

[@user-hi4sf2uj8w]

... отличный газовзрывобезопасный фонать, к меня такой-же в бане висит, особенно нравится пескоструйная обработка, молодец мастер, здоровья тебе и удачи во всём!!!

[@glemka]

очень интересно. какой у этого фонаря вес?!))

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I love that something younger than me is considered antique! 🤣🤣 Nicely done and what an awesome addition to your outdoor space. Good job.

[@archivethearchives]

That must be an interesting phenomenon!! If only there were restoration workers for our bodies as we get older… 😝

[@iqbang9236]

Those were great days of the American manufacturing industry.

[@gthompson4177]

Saw someone uploaded this to TikTok but I’m glad that the OTND logo was in the background so I could find it here. Good stuff !!

[@tankgrrl]

Nice work! And I just have to say... that bulb is comical. 😆 It's like someone handed the designer one of those little holiday window candle bulbs and said 'Exactly like this, but 1000% larger'.

[@notwocdivad]

We used to call these FLP Lamps (for Flame Proof Lamp) the whole thing is sealed from the outside air so there is no chance of any gasses being ignited. Great job again. New Subscriber.

[@Saavik256]

At first I was like "wait, where's the neutral on the plug ?" then I remembered you are in France. :) Great video and great restoration.

[@impetus444]

I'll check back in 100 years when this lamp needs another restoration :)

[@gallucinogenia]

Этот промышленный светильник воистину эпичен! И работа проделанная мастером соответствует. Отдельно хочется отметить бетонные работы и мастерство оператора и монтажёра!

[@xyzxyz4643]

That this still works. Amazing. People in the past did built things to last forever, today shit just breaks so quick.

[@kahutochishisumi9056]

Loved it. Restorations of small things are good, but once in a while, it's great to see big things being restored. That's one big monster of a lamp.

[@josephrobertvanderhoff8281]

Though all your works ? This one specialy ...We see the light , Your awsome ,,your channel is awsome . Magnifique .

[@user-so3xk1lm4j]

Хороший светильник Ещё 100 лет прослужит Хорошая работа

[@azez9684]

It's like an Excel car tub cover made to last hundreds of years. Wow!

[@interstellarpieceofmeat]

Seeing it light up at the end brought a smile to my face (:

[@mychaellvillarmoreira5773]

hhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooo............... Que linda restauração cara !!!!!!!!! Parabéns .....

[@stevenwilliams1915]

I am an old restorer in the States. Don't know which I admire more; your work or your presentation. Flawless on both counts...

Never ceases to amaze me how many parts are in one given item!! What a cool light and what a great job you did¡!!!!!!

[@lucdeal1832]

tu est un champion de la restauration, je félicite, bonjour de France

[@pronoe]

Beautiful object and great restoration. I particularly love the attention to detail on the red information plate.

[@julienghanadan8311]

Great job on antique factory lamp restoration old thing never die 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@PossiblyYourDog]

Very well done, I appreciate how thorough you show your process from start to finish, including the materials you use and how you overcome imperfections/obstacles. I used to watch a show called "Rick's Restorations" (An American show about restoring antiques) and I always hated how they never showed the process, it was all just filler/b-roll of the workers using angle grinders to make sparks or the family arguing with each other. I always wished they would have shown their process but I suppose that's the difference between Reality TV and an artist on KZbin

[@neonlicht0977]

thank you that you have saved the lamp!

[@garymucher4082]

Nice refurbishing project. Old things can still be used if you take the time to rebuild them. Thumbs Up!

[@q-dance2696]

Спасибо большое за видео 📹 Великолепная работа ⚒ ⚒ ⚒ Лайк. 💯

[@jamesfield5346]

That is so cool... it still works after all these years... can tell it was built in the days that things were built to last.

[@Super_Mia]

this ceiling lamp is amazing, big and very bright, wow

[@marcelwildeboer]

Thank you for taking the time to restore these old things.

[@joshschneider9766]

That nickel coat against the soft golden color is really understated and looks great, would have been too showy to use chrome and you knew it. Mapelec would be proud!

[@leewhite-graham753]

Bravo! Great job. That is one substantial fixture. It deserved to be saved, especially by someone with the talent and expertise.

[@kdailey4315]

This is one of the best produced youtube videos I've ever seen.

[@zelouis]

I saw in the last images this beautyfull lamp came from Amiens in France. What a work to make this thing travelling throw the time directly to the 21th century, it's so old and new now.

[@austinhughes6852]

Now that’s what I call a lamp! Definitely looks like it came from a factory or large building.

[@OldThingsNeverDie-]

Yes, i tried to restore it at original as much as possible 👍

[@Lee78072]

Watched a few of your Restorations. Super Work. You French are the best at restorations.

[@johnhutsler8122]

The editing, the craftsmanship, the hard work... All of it is excellent. Great videos here

[@Bernd_Ernst]

Marvellous! You turned that old rotten lamp into a new one. That's magic!

[@LadyLeigh]

Love those old pieces of industrial design. You did a superb job of the restoration and I love your choice of colour.

[@frisky9]

I love that you gave the bulb a pat 😂 an 🇦🇺tshirt.

[@nopenada3449]

Likely the very highest production values of any restoration video I've ever seen, not to mention the quality of the restoration itself. Subscribed.

[@EDWRFle]

The light bulb still works wow. Très chic, et bonne travail

[@user-vj9ww3zy6z]

Браво маэстро. Спиздил лампу с фонарного столба и восстановил. Теперь повесь на место)))

[@riccohansen3683]

Im really imprest what you did to this lamp. I found one my self two days ago from french be ship it to denmark. The condition of my lamp is really good not so much rust as yours have. 😊😊😊

[@williamkenzo3825]

This video made me speechless as always. Your videos are definitely a movie. Love your content, I look for it!

[@SachsVDE]

You can't find these Philips lamps anymore .They are awesome and Timeless ,just indistructible and well made...🌟⚡️

[@CatalystRestorations]

The production quality on this is insane 🤯. The tracking shots while you're working are next level. Do you know how old this is? How much would a new bulb have cost had the original not been working?

[@OldThingsNeverDie-]

A New bulb would have cost 25 € = 30 $ 😅

[@CatalystRestorations]

@@OldThingsNeverDie- That's actually not as bad as I thought! Large expense for a single item on a project though, haha

[@michael.h.bradley1865]

hello and well done. many years ago i worked in the mechanics shop of a cotton mill in Lancashire. we had these lamps in strategic places where there were inflammable materials and they were called " Explosion Proof" lamps

[@normmcrae1140]

Nice - Explosion-Proof light is what you need in a paint bay or hazardous place like that. - not just for decoration!

[@davidfleminguxo]

Was looking for a comment like this, definitely hazardous conditions luminaire with the threaded fittings and the sealed lens.

[@Killbrokraft]

I always think with these restorations, the history of the items. The things they must have seen. Neat to think about.

[@johnitsumi3772]

Great job ! But wait , "Danger d'ouverture sous tension" ? COCORICO !!!

[@ahujeffrey]

The sounds and images are so clear. I feel so relaxed watching this video. I appreciate all of your efforts in restoring something back to a beautiful state, perhaps even better than original. Thank you so much for sharing. It's helped me to and my day positively!

[@LeCrenn]

When you pressed the switch and the old bulb lit up, that was fantastic.

[@digvijaysinghrajawat7348]

The fact that the bulb still worked after so many years is simply amazing.. proud to be a philips user 🤣

[@shedmanx3640]

Absolutely outstanding job. That was a big job and you did it splendidly. Just a tip if you ever have to replace the seal you mixed and used the funnel to pipe it around the glass; use a baking piping bag. Cheap, disposable and gets you media to where you want it. Great job mate.

[@Thelurpy1]

Good call on the piping bag. My wife has a load of them in the kitchen. Very handy, just like her butter knives.

[@julie6092]

😄 Did anyone else hear the mosquito at 13:11? Beautiful job. I'm always amazed how much work there really is to be done! Well done you👏👏👍

[@jhutto1984]

Personally I'm just impressed the lamp still worked right off the bat even before you got too far into it. :)

[@dameonerichathway2298]

I would not consider this an antique but it is a damn good restoration! 👍🏻

[@PrenticeBoy1688]

Anything one-hundred years old or older is an antique, but you're probably right.

[@paridecorsetti7022]

where I work they swapped huge lamps with those bulbs to LEDs lamps. if I knew I could've saved those bulbs for you. they were nearly 20. awesome work.

[@scottcates]

Very nice use of materials here. I like the Graphite Wax--it produced an excellent finish that retained and highlighted the previous wear marks and was a beautiful contrast to the shiny powder-coated housing.

[@TheFabrik]

You did it again 😎 Wonderful job my friend, watching this vid like a movie. Where are your million subscribers ? 🤔

[@Crrocuta]

Прекрасно. Маленький совет. Перед вкручиванием лампы, ее надо обезжирить и устанавливать в перчатках.

[@Legendary_UA]

Outstanding craftsmanship.

[@kufi1209]

Eine wirklich gelungene Restoration. Super!

[@nicolires2012]

i love to see you restoring this lamp!

[@jackjaeger2189]

Another great piece. Amazing that the bulb still worked.

[@thomask.7425]

Very cool french stuff 🤩

[@smokeydoke100]

Wow, a mogul bulb. I haven't seen one of those in years. I have a huge table lamp that took those.

[@psirvent8]

Edit: It might actually be a Goliath base aka E40. I think it's a E27 bulb and socket, Mogul being E39.

[@alexdreher]

Wow, you gave that lamp an new live! What a beauty! And it shines so bright! Thanks for that detailed and clear steps! What a work!

[@fredrichardson9761]

Really nice restoration! I actually like seeing electrolysis used - it is great at taking off rust and paint on those large pieces. The powder coat looks great. The light is perfect for any neomodernistic post industrial home! 😆 Great video! 👍

[@restaurandocoisasvelhas]

Very good. Congratulations. Hugs from Brazil

[@darold1966]

Very nice job. I work with those fixtures all the time (new versions) and you did a great job. The small clevis on the top is for a backup chain restraint. You can use the main eye on the top to hang the lamp with its primary attachment. Again - nice job, looks beautiful, and kinda neat.

[@nathalieartuso3098]

Bravo et merci pour la restauration de cette belle pièce d'origine française très beau travail elle est reparti pour une deuxième vie , 🙂👍cordialement. Nathalie France Normandie

An insane amount of required, and the cost, if doing it from scratch, would be huge. In saying that, it turned out beautifully. Well done Sir

Hi These kind of lamps, don't like the on/off switching in a short time. Just a tip from an old electrichian. Awsome restauration.

[@DrVenture45]

It's an absolute pleasure to watch you restore anything!

[@ViszlaBoss]

Not only an amazing restoration but the presentation of your videos are some of the best I’ve seen. Great work! 🔨

[@user-pi8vt7ut3n]

...и у меня был такой-же светильник в газовзрывобезопасном корпусе, отдал его в спортшколу где учится моя внучка, теперь там служит Верой и правдой!!!

[@joshschneider9766]

You should totally lathe turn a steel post for that to stand on and make it a giant area lamp that would be sweet. Great save and great restore!

[@FloatingCroc]

Fantastic reno, looks amazing 👍👍👍

Looking better & brand new on LAMP 👍👍👌👌

[@roymichael851]

Very nice work, a good word to describe you might be artist.

[@lj5801]

Great job! When I saw the ad for this video, I was not expecting the size and heft of this light. Also, good choice of color.

[@andrey21898]

Стояли подобные только под лампы ДРЛ-400, в залах модулей турбокомпрессоров на станциях охлаждения природного газа , на Севере Тюменской области, под самым потолком, ох и тяжеленные! ПРА стояли в таких же чугунных тяжеленных коробках , и устанавливались рядом ,обслуживание их было крайне неудобно

[@SatisfyingRestorations]

I like your style! Creative filming and editing along with a great restoration!

[@TheHififink]

An amazing restoration I learn so much watching folks like yourself take on these projects. Your attention to detail is spot on. BTW I really love the powder coating finish and color? Bravo!

[@junglistmovement352]

I finally found one of these too! An old LP200 anti explosion lamp from the 1940s. Most likely from a polish mine. Looks similar to yours. Can't wait to restore it and use it. Great video!
