Antique Factory Lamp - Restoration

[@mkegadgets4380]

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

[@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

[@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

[@austinhughes6852]

Fantastic video and restoration work, that lamp is gorgeous! Very nice color and the speckled look is very cool. Wasn’t expecting a self ballasted mercury lamp, probably used high wattage incandescent back in the day if I were to guess.

[@aaronbrandenburg2441]

I remember running across on stage crew large cases of very large incandescent bulbs look like a 3-way bulb but many times the size if you had almost like inflated it it would sort of look like that the same bulb shape is say a 200 watt bulb or three-way but just oversized if you super-sized one of those you get what this looks like they were 500 watt incandescent pretty sure they were Mogul base don't remember for certain but fairly sure. I'm like one on Earth would they use these for on stage since most things would not take that bass level loan steroid incandescent bulbs we had a few things that took just regular bulbs or regular in some of our equipment one could say Oddball bulbs but still what would be considered a standard incandescent hey specialty is type of what would be referred to as a stage lamp by us that's what we referred everything that was a specific type of stage bulb vs standard bulbs likely use say in the stage work lights etcetera it's better differentiate is this because sometimes specs are similar and somebody would grab the wrong bulb when you didn't specify a stage lamp or stage bulb it just avoid confusion have a feeling that most places wouldn't do this but it did avoid confusion! Of note I remember one time we needed to usually old school opiate projectors in when the classes for something we're working on it may have even been in your class can't remember the instructor asked if I can get the same working or wasn't even sure if it was the bulb of course it was as I stated and then I remembered these used was the same types of bulbs we used on stage said I think I can help with this I'll be a few minutes be right back and there were scratching her head came back with a spare bulbs from stage no problem by that time the lamp was cool and safe to touch at least temperature wise and of course had proper gloves on due to the bulb being a halogen! The teacher was cussing prized at how quickly I was able to service it they said it seems like that you've changed his stuff about before pretty often and said it pretty quick changing stage lamps number one time we had a critical fixture go out almost right at scene change and was able to lower the lighting bar between scenes and change the bulb and the show went on without a hitch they said I was the fastest bulb changer in the West after that that in the real life MacGyver but not just because of stage crew either called that by many others many times in my life! Back to the 500 watt frosted incandescent bulbs what these were used was the old I told him fixtures that were essentially kind of like stained glass big ceiling fixtures don't remember how many 500 watt bulbs each of them used too long ago but they said they originally tried to get them working but our system could not handle the loads basically the old artorium lights were too much for the system but specifically the stage lighting was a separate if I remember correctly 1,000 amp 3-phase service coming in which was strictly dedicated to stage lights only this did not include power to auxiliaries and dedicated stage receptacles for high-power plus the multiple 240 it did a gated stairs years for something else a bunch of other auxiliary and house lighting and just run-of-the-mill receptacles was entirely separate which was just run off to where your power from the rest of the building yeah had to go to the basement of the place we did have access to the the bowels of the place we had to because of occasional electrical issues. I remember one time we had two different feeders trip on us ordering room setting up within an hour or two getting things going. I think one just happened to be a short circuit somewhere that they were so heavily loaded it took out the entire feeder instead of that local breaker nothing else tripped it be the equivalent of tripping the main breaker at home without anything else tripping. Not the first time I've seen something like this but the other time was not on stage. However we were running the stage lighting equipment as part of the overall load it was only I think half a kilowatt possibly bit more extra at that time. Christmas Pageant rehearsal we had borrowed two of our stage lights to do this a lot of the youth group was also on stage crew which helps a lot for things. Since experience and access to equipment. Including the old Clear-Com system. Easy to set up since all you need is basically enough microphone cables! But back to the story at the church I knew the electrical system like the back of my hand which this knowledge was frequently needed as well as one could probably guess! We were up in the balcony was where the extra lighting was set up. Things are going just fine at first they hit the stained glass window light switch was going to be part of this pageant since there was basically the star above the main stained glass window at the front as well as it was thought this would be a really neat effect to involve turning on the lights up for the stained-glass which work great in the end. However after that short time later lost power to the balcony the window lights some others and also power to to the entire pipe organ. My father first thought that possibly the organ blower was at fault. Of course check all the grease cups and gave the motor a feel for temperature nothing and even attempted to hit the reset on the motor starter that thing was ancient glad there wasn't a problem with it probably would have either been a rebuild or a new controller if one could been available! They don't make them like that anymore for sure think it was Allen-Bradley if I'm not mistaken! Of course I checked every breaker nothing was tripped anywhere turns out we had taken out the entire feeder without anything else tripping this doesn't happen very often! Although before he's had cases where are multiple things have gone out just because of multiple Breakers tripping at the same time! Occasionally having something short out and taking out a feeder we knew that over the years so many things have been changed and things were pushed it to the Limit but didn't expect the blonde feeder this time! The fix for keeping this from reoccurring was finding another circuit that could take the load of the stage lights we're using. Fortunately we brought plenty 20 amp stage extension cables! Always a good idea when you don't know where you're going to be able to get power that won't take out a circuit! I knew were everything ran through but not specifically what was on a circuit most of which was really not documented well or not at all but general idea of what was going to be on what panel for the most part however with all the changes and who knows was a crap shot at best! I think we probably went about at least 50 ft if not more before getting to a circuit that would not Fripp almost immediately if not immediately. Needles to say when you were trying to find a circuit I was stationed at the panels with two way radio we're tempted to just have the clear cam belt pack on and a nice long cable but we would have to borrow that cable from are already ran cabling would have work either way. Ever since then when we set something else up elsewhere we always had plenty of extra cable in case we needed communication for setting things up and troubleshooting it didn't help that the batteries went dead the two way. However that was when we actually found a workable circuit for the lights.

[@aaronbrandenburg2441]

By the way everything went wrong that could have that rehearsal including people stuck in the elevator. A rescue attempt that did not fail fortunately also glad that I was trained how to use the drop key to get the doors open then emergencies. I told my father when we are resetting the elevator system I said Dan I think I should get the drop key just in case we have to go in manually and he said absolutely grab it we could not get the elevator to restart we try at least six times unsuccessfully. The elevator installed was very new at the time and still bit buggy soon after most of the bugs got ironed out of the thing but every so often. Also stuck between floors but plenty of space to get them out safely and yes disconnect power so there's no way that the unit could start up which was per instructions if we ever had to do something like this of course could not get ahold of anyone for elevator service. Has instant with the fire alarm once as well cinnamon roll baking using the ovens to bring the temperature up for enough to cause the rolls to rise very bad practice but it was nonetheless. Everything just going fine however there was a note everywhere saying that the automatic fire alarm system was not working and if there's a fire it would need to be called in via telephone. What happened is just as we ready to start cooking after getting the rolls to rise as soon as the ovens were opened after preheating it was just enough to push the rate of Rise heat detector into operation! Exhaust setting off the fire alarm and of course it was when those times where the new and the old system were still in place. And having to reset both simultaneously otherwise did not reset on top of this much to our surprise fire department showed up when we heard the sirens we thought it was just coincidence but well yep responded too the gamewell fire alarm system going off which of course was the tight end to the building fire alarm system the boxes are buildings are tied into the system for those that are not aware of this. It turns out the system had been repaired and was working but no one was aware of this than it work had been completed. Also remember once the Sunday school kids they were doing popcorn and set off a fire alarm system! I remember once at school years ago we had archery in gym and what they called the backstop curtain was in really bad shape not sure exactly how this happened but it probably should never heard this way someone I happen to miss the arrow have to go through a place where the backstop was all messed up Nails the fire alarm Pull Station and off goes the fire alarm system nobody was able to figure out why it occurred but it did. Also I let one of these Burgers know that did the bar on the fire alarm system someone may have been the gym but don't remember so long ago you said listen should be going off he barely touches it in the alarm system goes off he's like oops I said yeah you did say it should be going off and now you did it for real everybody always tease them about this he took it in stride just goes to show things don't always go as they should don't even get me story about all the issues of head on stage or the years

[@aaronbrandenburg2441]

Nice manual impact tool as well I remember using it something similar years ago here in there we never had one ourselves but we probably should have and the downstairs workshop for sure this is before we even had any cordless tools that all I remember the first cordless tool they had well besides the drill we got letter was just a cordless screwdriver even that was used one that I got ahold of. Our first cordless drill was one that just had the battery in the handle later on. Another cordless screwdriver although the battery on that one bit the Dust and in the process fried the nicad charger I believe it was not good it could have been nickel-metal hydride can't remember fairly sure it was the older Nike Air Technology but it may have been either or back then on the cordless tools we ever had had that have a charging adapter since internal batteries only nothing had a small full battery unfortunately. And wimpy 2 cell only. Unfortunately all the tools used to different adapter entirely different charge rates trust me I checked there were marked with a paint marker as to which one is which even on the tool itself just to make sure doubly so with a number as well as a specific tool gaming Convention as we thought we'd have more in the future

It’s should be a good practice to wipe down any bulb after handling one. The slightest of oils from your skin can burn through a bulb if it gets to a high enough temperature.

[@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.
