Old Spark Lighter Restoration - Imco Funkmeister

In this episode I will restore this Rusty Imco Funkmeister spark lighter. It has a lot of rust but luckily It's mostly on the surface and there is even some of the old plating left underneath. Regardless the metal has a lot of pits and need a good sanding. Luckily there are no dents as those are always a pain to fix. After sanding down all the pitting I re-plated the parts with nickel to protect it from corrosion. For this video I had to get a larger container and do some adjustments to the system.

I was not expecting the aggressiveness at the beginning 😂 it startled me and my cat 🤣

[@jason1emp606]

honestly its out of character for him.

[@dualb.o.x]

LOL

[@stoogie375]

Poor cat 🤣

[@bigornafilmes]

You did what most of the restorers do not even think to do: You plated all the parts. I've seen them polishing and removing old plating and painting instead of plating again. Best regards from Rio de Janeiro.

[@Ballmacher]

So what's the difference there?

[@liquidsleepgames3661]

Can you give jesus a hug

[@madeofcastiron]

@@Ballmacher if you don't plate the parts again, the pieces are prone to rust much quicker

[@Saltiren]

@@Ballmacher the nickel plated helps block rust

[@SirDuckyOfAlfheimr]

As if it wasn't cool enough, it's name is Funkmeister!

[@OddTinkering]

Yes. Part of the reason why I had to get it 😂 much better than sparkmaster

Thanks! Let's see if I can find more interesting ones

Oh yeah that's some good hammering 😂 when he said ready for launch I was expecting the metal pin to go like a yard not 5 inches 😂🤣

[@Nickilynn12]

5 seconds in i’m dying cause he slapped the lighter 😂

[@bret9741]

Great sense of humor. Obviously soap operas have nothing on this Chanel

[@RosieBabyCheeks]

I'm sick with some heavy nausea and your videos are the only thing I can stomach to watch. Thank you so much for helping me through this.

[@jamespilcher5287]

Rusty Stovelighter sounds like the name of a Chuck Norris character

[@TheOnlyTherazan]

Springs just amaze me. They can stay under tension for decades, if not a century, and they're still ready to spring back in shape when released.

[@canadianwaif]

Thank you so much for filtering out the harsher sounds from machines, I love to watch your excellent work before I retire, all relaxed . As long as you make these videos I will be an avid subscriber :)

@@OddTinkering i dont know what products you have avail.... You could look into light abrasive polishing compound for the thinnier metal stock to avoid damage may be brasso / flitz or even some car detailing products ATB: BLIND

Dang, the power that radiates from the introductory lighter YEET is staggering

[@storr7535]

I like these videos, he doesn't talk, he doesn't bring up things that are unrelated to what he's doing and goes straight to the point

[@dhinatax]

I always watch your video before Im going to sleep cus is so relaxing

[@hualni]

This is such an impractical thing to restore, but dang if it isn't some of the most gripping entertainment available anywhere. Incredible!!! BRAVO!!! 👏 👏 👏

[@senijzi6311]

As always, I love your restoration video, no music, no narration, just the original sound of you restoration activities, love it. Kudos and keep it up.

[@thewhiteraven2501]

If that brass rod gets stuck in a wall when it launches across the room, please include it in the video. Overall good job on the restore! :)

[@GrandsonofKong]

I would have bought this "as-is" simply to say "I own a Funkmeister"!!!! Great restoration!

[@diamondproductions665]

As the icon implies, he perfectly balanced the science, entertainment, and hard work.

[@iannonhebel677]

Love the rusty pair of pliers you used maybe they can be a restoration treat to look forward to.

[@stoogie375]

Not going to lie, I laughed when he bitch slapped the other lighter away. 🤣

[@Dr_Mario2007]

You earned the subscription, Sir. You have a great sense of humor, and I actually like the fact that you restore what could be historically significant that looks as good as when they were new.

[@annierose1269]

I love how you wear gloves ALL the time now, since that comment that said you should.

[@Indrakusuma_a]

I'm late to the party here, so curious what kind of comment was it?

[@abomasnow4]

Someone got their undies in a knot over how Odd Tinkering Guy didn't wear his black gloves in one of his vids, is all.

[@producer73]

Wow, I have the exact same one. It's been in the family for decades. It's in pristine original condition. I use it to light the BBQ.

[@sebastienbolduc5654]

I have one of these that I bought in mint condition at a garage sale. Use it every time I go camping. Best darn camp stove starter a man can have! Someone should remake and mass produce them again. As someone who use to restore antique furniture I love your restoration videos, bro! Very unique KZbin content! Keep it up.

[@foxxiangel6384]

when you’re chaotic energy shows (like when you slapped the lighter off the table) i love it

[@jimbojet8728]

I doubted you. I did think you may have bitten off more than you could chew with this one. Oh ye of little faith ! Well done. So clever. A great vid, thank you.

Very relaxing to watch. No music no pop ups. Good Quality Video.

[@PierceyeG]

That was an impressive restoration. I wouldn't have thought that tool was capable of being brought back.

[@shadymaint1]

My parents have one just like that. I came in an old 50s era camper they bought when I was a little kid. They have been through several campers since then and the still have and use that same striker to light the stove burners. It is still in excellent shape.

[@Jordan-zk2rf]

you came in an old camper when you were a little kid?

[@alisonblackwood6954]

I love restoring old and or worn out things back to life. So glad to see people who care about things in today's modern throw away world. Why do you wear gloves?

[@Stevenyc69]

[@Keyshooter]

Thanks!

[@DD-DD-DD]

We actually had one of those. Took it camping 35 years ago. Lit the little camp stove with it.

[@dorgodorato]

I really appreciate you turning down the audio for the sanding! The dry scratching noise really triggers my tinnitus when folks leave it at full volume.

[@alexgiassi7774]

My grandparents have one of these in there trailer and it is in perfect condition. It’s funny to see one so beat up.

Very good job, Tinker! Loved it!

Your video s are so amazing and the interesting feature in you videos is no music which make it more comfortable and make us feeling to sleep keep it going dude

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Fun video 👍🏻. I have that same striker. Still functional. I keep it with my Coleman camp stove. 🇺🇸😎

[@itatane]

I wonder if Odd Tinkering could bring your old straw hat back to life once it gets some more mileage on it? Last one was mostly duct tape by the time it was done, wasn't it? 😁

[@dannyakatrikerred7381]

Pete Hall LOL 😂. Yeah, there wasn't left for the tape to stick to. 👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎

[@Jumphouse2]

I hope he never runs out of brass brushes and gloves because I want to watch these videos until I kick the bucket.

"I need something more stylish" proceeds to violently smack the lighter and probably break it 😂😂 well if it breaks it would make an interesting video trying to fix it.
