Early 1900s Electric Door Bell - Restoration

In this video I'm going to restore an antique german electric door bell.
I've bought this door bell from an online auction for $45. It was in pretty rough condition, but it was still working, kind of. What I first saw as a quick and easy project turned out to be a really tough and time consuming challenge. Remaking the broken copper part needed a lot of trial and error until I have finally managed to completely recreate that part. Not just making the jig, also the engraving and tumblering. The coils were very tricky as well. At first I planned just to clean them as they were still working, but I've quickly realized that the insulation was damaged and I had to rewind them. Allthough low voltage isn't dangerous rewinding was neccessary to get the job done 100%. It was a good idea though, as the iron cores have been completely rusted under the copper wire. Rewinding required a lot of testing too until I got a satisfying result, as it was my first time doing it. Finding the old newspaper was very cool and even better to actually find a date on that newspaper „1902“. A follower on Instagram was actually able to find that newspaper from 1904 when it was printed. It was actually a patent description. If you click the link below you're actually able to find the exact patent with the exact same text like you can see in the video on the newspaper. With all this information this door bell must have been built somewhat around 1904-1906 in Germany I guess.
I have also built a walnut box for it to cover the electrics. You can see that at the very end of the video. Be sure to check out the video on my second channel „my mechanics insights“ to see how I made it.

I am fascinated by your restorations. We own a house built in 1913. One of the first things we did was replace the mid-century electric chime doorbell with a buzzer bell (modern repro). My husband installed a governer to slow the electric pulse and deepen the ring of the bell. Old houses need old doorbells. Obviously, I really loved this restoration of yours.

I’ve got to say. You were the first restoration channel that I ever subscribed to because it was clear that you were knowledgeable, you cared about the pieces you worked on, and you were VERY good at what you did. It was clear that “certain other” restoration channels saw this too and began to change their content to closely match yours after your initial success. Some of those channels after changing their format even ended up getting more subscribers to you and I thought that that was a shame. But you kept on released absolutely top notch content, improving your set up, and even expanded to have a second channel and now you have grown so much. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m really glad you have the success you have today and as a long time subscriber I look forward to every upload.

Apologies mate but this is highly subjective. You won't find any 2020 typical, run of the mill doorbells being restored in 100 years. No. But there are plenty of custom, expensive versions of things out there you *will* find in 100 years. Mostly things belonging to rich people. And before you say "well of course rich people will have high quality stuff thats worth restoring in 100 years! what about everyone else?" if you think a middle class Joe like you or I had this type of doorbell, or any doorbell at all, 100 years ago you'd be sadly mistaken. Mass produced things has made everything cheaper. Now even the poorest people in society can afford a doorbell, or better yet, it's *expected* they have one.

Simple electromechanical doorbells are still being made today. They are rare but they still exist. Those that play back some mp3 file (or whatever format they use) likely won't work anymore and can't be repaired. Though a well made mask ROM might actually still be readable even in a hundred years, if it's not blown because of some other fault in the circuit (really new ones use flash memory though, I think, which will be unreadable in a few decades).

I have been in the mechanic trade for 20 years so I understand your craftsmanship to some degree. Your level of patience and your unwillingness to comprimice with the result is so wonderful. Many thanks for sharing your beautiful restorations to the world. Love from Sweden / Jonas

It is a nice job. This is the first electric gadget we learned to make in our early science classes in our childhood. We noticed that this is more than restoration, you made most parts newly. If you can make those same way for market there will be a good demand from people like us. Any way I appreciate you handling and procedures for any one to follow. Thank you!

The patent was extremely interesting to read. A clever design for electric trams to be able to signal the driver that they are ready to depart. The driver puts the train into slow forward, but the circuit is broken by breakers in each car. The conductors of each car ensure they are ready to leave, and flip their switches. Only when all cars are ready to leave will the motors energize.

This is probably my favorite restoration. Finding the newspaper pieces was like opening a time capsule. Then when he added the paper denoting the year and restorer, it was like making a new time capsule. The only thing I would have done different would have been to put the old newspaper back in with my note.

Something I love about these videos is how they showed how beautiful these things were back in their time. Like a lot of stuff from this time period is kind of crusty and rusty looking, like the brass bell was. After a while I kind of assumed everything just looked like that from poorer craftsmanship and less refined materials, aged or not. But after you polished and shined that bell up it makes you realize this would have been as stately and beautiful a piece as anything you'd buy from the Home Depot, etc. today. In a way your videos really help people reconnect with a bygone era with each restoration you do.
