Antique World War I Monocular Restoration - Carl Zeiss Jena

This week I restored this World War I monocular used by the Germans and made by Carl Zeiss. It’s a pleasure to restore such a high quality piece of optics. There is a lot of dust and dirt inside so you can barely see anything through the lens. The surface needs some restoration as well.
I decided to leave the eye piece assembled because it was constructed so that I would have had to damage it to disassemble and I wasn’t sure I could put it back together as well as it was. Also I didn’t see any major dirt or other reason inside to give me an excuse to risk it.
After the disassembly I cleaned the brass parts with ketchup and then polished those with wool wheels and polishing compound. Ketchup is a great way to remove patina from brass. It contains vinegar and also some enzymes which help with removing the oxidation. It also doesn’t smell and it is readily in easy to apply formula. Vinegar is also more aggressive which could leave to damage to my unoxidized brass.
The aluminum sheets or caps from the ends of the monocular body were stripped from paint and sanded down and polished as well. The one with text was sanded with 250, 400, 800, 1200 and 2000 grit sand paper. With the one with the text I started lightly from 400 to preserve the text.
I also tried paint stripper for the monocular body but the texture on it didn’t come off well. It only softened a little. I decided to scrape most of it off with a screwdriver and then remove rest with scotch bright wheel. I didn’t have to bee too careful not to scratch the body because I would cover it in leather anyways.
Other parts were cleaned with acetone.
To cover the monocular with leather I had to first sand the leather a little thinner. I tried to press it evenly on the belt sander. This was very slow process. I probably should have used rougher belt but I had never done this before. Then the leather was soaked in water to allow me to streck it to the shape of the monocular. This made it much easier to glue it on.
I mixed some silicone with a little of acetone to make it flow better and used a syringe and a needle to apply a thin line to seal the ends during the assembly. Hopefully this will reduce the collecting of dust inside the monocular so the visibility will stay as good as I got it.

This is a great kzbin.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE monocular. It adjusts easily and works well in most conditions. I attached a pic of the view through my phone (iPhone 13 max pro). With some more adjustments it would probably be fine. I would just use this by holding up to my eye and forget trying to capture pics through my phone. It comes with an attachment piece to your phone, a tripod, a lanyard, cleaning cloth and a holster that can be worn on your belt. Overall the image quality is good.

[@RamenNamen991]

Dude, I love your videos. Just recently i have had trouble sleeping and seeing things being taken apart and put back together has helped me so much, especially during college. The restoration videos for consoles actually helped me figure out the problems with a gamecube and Gameboy Advanced I found in my landlord's basement and how to fix them. Your style of videos may not be flashy or attention getting, but the style of them is so comforting and educational! It's a part of why i'm starting to get into restoration! (I know that this probably won't get seen but I just needed to write it anyway.)

[@Milamberinx]

The prisms aren't in there to flip or unflip the image, they're there to increase the effective distance the light travels between the objective lens and the eyepiece. The magnification factor is essentially the result of the strength of the eyepiece which is limited by certain things, and the distance the light travels between the lenses. Binoculars need to be quite short to be useful (otherwise they'd be a real strain to hold to your eyes) so clever people found ways to make light travel farther than the length of the thing it's inside.
