Dangerous Old Radiator - Restoration

This is an old vintage Radiator made by Thermor in 1950's.
I found this radiator at local flea market store, it cost me 12 euro.
This is a very beautiful radiator and very rare in this condition.

Sandblasting lead paint creates a very fine particulate of the lead that gets everywhere and lingers stubbornly, even with a good filtration system. Also most countries have strict laws about heavy metal disposal and you would face legal consequences if you contaminated the area.

15:27 I was literally thinking "it would be better if he grounded it" since devices back then didn't have a proper ground. Nice modernisation! I would recommend leaving the grounding wire longer so if the other wires get pulled out the ground is still connected. You can also buy GFCI integrated plugs that are great for applications like this.

[@simcaj.4474]

Neuvěřitelné! Vše co zrestaurujete je opravdu jako nové! Krásná práce

[@Pocol0c0s]

Yeah im an electrician and i would like him to test the PE

[@TumbleFig]

Or ideally sand the paint down where it's connected and then test continuity. Even if it's connected at the moment, if there's paint in-between, it may never be a reliable connection.

[@kingofbrutaltheocracy9201]

Its 220v. That paint isn't going to stop the arc if a wire touches the case. That bare copper ground wire is much more conductive than a hand touching the same paint. If the paint is such a good insulator that the copper wire cannot ground it, how are you going to become a ground for the case? Its fine.

Once, a long time ago, I toasted bread on a similar radiator like a toaster. It may be too thick cable, radiator power is obviously small. But this is nagging with envy. This is truly a perfect recovery. And this radiator is a bit younger.

[@5cloudwalker]

I laughed when the rust preventative paint was the same colour as rust, all in all a joy to watch 😊

[@adelina1980]

On the cable, the earthing contact must be the longest wire. In addition, it must be connected bare with the housing to be protected. Here, according to the video, it seems to me that he was screwed on the paint. Furthermore, the connection cable is missing a strain relief.

[@censusgary]

I get your other points, but why must the earth wire be the longest wire?

[@sivalley]

@@censusgary It's to ensure that if the cable gets pulled from its connection points and makes contact with the chassis is will short to ground and ensure the protection device upstream will disconnect the circuit or at the very least prevent becoming an electric shock hazard.

[@adelina1980]

@@censusgary The earthing wire may only be torn off if all other (shorter) wires have already been torn off. This ensures that the earth wire has contact until the very end and provides security.

[@Vizimech]

Was also thinking that; unless the paint itself is highly conductive it's gonna impede the grounding.

[@aytonbob]

Also all the separate parts should have a continuous earth bond on bare metal for safety.

[@pirateman1966]

Why can't they make stuff this good of a quality anymore? At any price! No plastic anywhere. I hate plastic.

[@censusgary]

PirateKitty : Why don’t they makethings that way now? It’s pretty simple, really.. There aren’t enough people who will pay $200 for a portable room heater instead of $20 for a similar, but less durable, one.

[@sethh8892]

@@censusgary actually there are some Plastics that could be considered more durable than metal. Also it depends on the application as well. Besides there's no reason to make this out of metal. They just did it back then because metal was extremely abundant. Why would you make a plastic bottle for water when you can make a metal one? Cheaper, plastic is extremely abundant, and there's absolutely no reason to make it out of metal.

[@pirateman1966]

@@censusgary No. That is not the reason. It's called "failure engineering". It's not just this heater. It's everything. For example; I bought a full set of Whirlpool top of the line washer and dryers in 2006 and it had 2 service calls in 2 years. It ended up by the side of the road in 3 years. The insurance company decided it costed them more for service calls than to pay me to buy new ones. On the other hand, my parents bought a fridge when I was born in 1959, and it was working till sold in 2006. Manufacturers learnt that if they build it like a tank, people won't have any reason to buy new ones. This is just one example. If I had the time or the willingness to teach you, I could list pages of such examples.

PirateKitty : I’m not sure how I feel about being “taught” by someone who appears not to be able to count to two (examples), but you have a point. It doesn’t contradict my point, though. Both factors are real.

[@Nowayjose-z2r]

The only way to get a better finish, especially with all the work you to up until the top coat, is to spray it. With that type of paint, I would suggest a small paint booth or make one for airbrushing and models as the parts are small then a small gravity feed sprayer or in a spray can, using your own gun allows you to mix paint for that perfect color. Just be sure it vents outside and wear a respirator. You will never get a great finish with a brush, a good one maybe but never great. Obviously, that is the only thing lacking in this video was the final paint. Still a great job!

I think immersion paint stripping is the “safest” and most easily accessible when it comes to lead paint. It never when becomes air born dust, just goop.

You can also try aqua blasting/vapour blasting.. it's ideal for delicate and soft metals but it's still a powerful cleaner, we have vapour blasters at work that are used for aluminium engine parts, it doesn't eat away at the aluminium at all, it's fairly cheap as well as around £30 an hour

[@munched55]

Your skills have really improved since the first time I pinned your ears back just some weeks ago. If you like to paint your objects on a level surface instead of hanging them and moving around them as you spray, you might want to make yourself a turntable to rest the objects on and just rotate the turntable. The camera can stay in close-up and you can hit all angles without yourself needing to move around. Just an idea. PS Final coat the interiors and bottom sides first so that the object is not resting on a final coat risking damage to the finish that ultimately is most visible.

You check paint about lead but do nothing with asbestos insulation strip. It is far more dangerous than lead - I prefer don't touch such things...

[@DrLoverLover]

No it's not

[@simboulisxbox7939]

blast rock it is

[@MrMicmou]

When did he check paint for lead I am probably too tired but I didn't see it.

[@sjdpfisvrj]

Asbestos in itself isn't dangerous. It's only the dust that is dangerous.

[@VegetaIsBetterThanGoku]

That little bit shouldn’t hurt most people. It’s when the fine dust gets airborn is when you have to worry and even then it was such a small amount most people would be fine. My grandfather worked in an asbestos factory after his WW2 tours for most of his life. He died in his early 80’s but the asbestos didn’t affect him at all. He always thought it was a bunch of nonsense and only certain people would get sick from it even though we know that’s not the case I do believe people treat it like a contagious cancer of sorts. If you handle it properly it’s fine, just think of the millions of people that built things with it, sold it in stores, worked in the factories, and contractors that used it. Millions of people didn’t die and most didn’t even get sick from it, it’s a little overblown just be cautious with it. Also it’s not like it directly affects you, it gets in your lungs and clogs them up and can’t be removed kind of what smoking and mold spores do to you.

"The cable is melted", that's how much of a fire hazard these monsters used to be.

[@christopherbedford9897]

That cable was definitely not the original. Note the colours of the two conductors - yellow and blue - it was not intended for mains current. Don't blame the heater for that. Also, even an old-fashioned CRT TV set can pull enough current to melt the insulation on a proper cabtyre extension lead if used while coiled. Never use mains cable coiled up (and in the US, where the current is double what it is in the rest of the world, be *especially* careful of letting cables curl up).

Except it didn't really (properly) connect to the metal body/frame.

This heater is actually EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, as all the wires are exposed to the metal frame so if you touch any part of it you will get electrocuted

[@georgequalls5043]

He added a ground wire which will carry away the shock hazard if the unit has continuity.

[@brandielee7971]

Dont touch it. Lol

[@CaptainDangeax]

With the body connected to earth like he did, a 30mA leak will instantly cut the power at the distribution box. At least in continental Europe...

Re stripper: Here we highlight three options for safer strippers. Remember, even though they're less harsh than the traditional methylene chloride strippers, you should still wear safety glasses and gloves to avoid eye or skin irritation, and it's always a good idea to open a window. Also, keep in mind that these products don't work as fast as the really harsh stuff, so you may need to leave them on furniture for longer, or wrap coated furniture in wax paper or newspaper to help the stripper penetrate the finish. Citristrip Natural citrus terpenes found in oranges gives this stripper an orange-like smell. The gel form works well on chair and table legs and is biodegradable, but check with your town to see if the lead-based paint you've just stripped with it can be tossed to the curb. •Methylpyrrolidone, or NMP, replaces methylene chloride as the active stripping ingredient. •Leave it on for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours to remove multiple layers. •Use it to strip latex or oil-based paints and coatings from wood, metal, and masonry. •About $11.50 per quart Safest Stripper Available as a liquid or a semi-paste, Safest Strip is gentle enough to rinse down the drain. After stripping, clean the piece of furniture with water. •Relies on gentler dibasic esters to remove paint. •Works in 2 hours •The semi-paste version reduces drips on vertical surfaces and can be left on for up to 30 hours. •About $11 per quart SoyGreen A mild lemon scent replaces the odor of stronger chemicals. SoyGreen's five gallon bucket of SoyGreen 6000, which will be renamed Soy-It in late January 2009, covers 250 square feet-plenty for a table or a few chairs. It's safe to use on fiberglass, so you can apply it to an exterior door. The product has been recognized for green chemistry by the EPA's Design for the Environment Program. •Relies on soy esters to strip paint •Can be left on up to 12 hours •Apply it to wood, brick, stone, plaster, metal, fiberglass, graphite and steel. •About $287 per five gallons

2:56 You could use one of those cleaning lasers (100W pulse laser) the downside is the cost of those things (10.000$ an more)

[@AstoundingAmelia]

The other issue is you need need a low dust environment and a extration unit too
