Restoration and Repair of an old Marine German compass . The most Beautiful compass STAND.

I found this old German compass at a flea market. There were no identification marks on it, only one inscription in German: "VEB Geräte- und Reglerwerke Teltow" I could not determine the year of its release, if you know, write me about it in the comments.
The compass was outwardly in fairly good condition, although rather dirty, with various stains. Several brass screws were missing, the compass fluid was missing, and the compass itself was misaligned. I don't really like the Bakelite look of such an interesting thing, so I decided to repaint it. Pre-cleaned the entire surface with fine sandpaper, and then degreased. Painted in three layers with drying.
I also made a stand for the compass, with the possibility of free swing.
The most difficult stage of the repair, for me, is filling the compass with liquid. The outlet is very small, and the displaced air greatly interfered with pouring liquid into the case. I poured an alcohol solution into the compass so that it would not freeze. It took quite a while, especially to get rid of all the tiny bubbles.
But I still really enjoyed working with this interesting thing, and I also liked my compass stand, now it sits very nicely on the shelf with the rest of my finished projects
Take care and see you next week. Sincerely, Max.

[@LucienMickey]

little tip for old compasses here is the most effective solution to avoid damaging the writing and to have perfect lasting cushioning 50% glycol + 50% distilled water

[@Repairoldthings]

[@chiavenato1]

NIce work ! Today is used a fluid called isopar - L, much like a mineral oil, with a low flash point!

[@davidsullivan1529]

Nice machine work and the tiny artistic / humorous touches. Well done!

[@ITBR_Restoration]

Thank you for your feedback)))

[@miloslavtomek-cp3fh]

Krásná práce 👍👍👍👍

[@dziubo1]

Actually I don't like it... you've destroyed beautifull patina and hid brass uner paint :(

[@Midas2010]

Agreed… seemed like a rush job without any prior investigation … like no alcohol inside etc

[@ivicaantolic4]

​@@Midas2010 Ganz derselbe meine ich

[@MrJeep75]

Отличная реставрация!!

[@ITBR_Restoration]

Благодарю за просмотр, и за обратную связь!

[@chrisstaylor8377]

Using emery paper and wire brush ids a bit rough ,should just buff it ,with cloth wheel

[@billhanson4921]

looks like the casing was Bakelite, that usually comes up brilliantly with boot polish of all things.

[@MASI_forging]

Great work as always 👍👍

[@ITBR_Restoration]

👍👍👍

[@georgebrown8312]

Beautiful restoration job you did restoring that old.German compass. It looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.

[@larrykelly2838]

Nice restoration

[@ITBR_Restoration]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@rutikuiwa7133]

Very good job

[@ITBR_Restoration]

Thanks 👍👍👍

[@terminalpsychosis8022]

That's a precision instrument. Would be useful on a ship, but fun to play with at home too.

[@publicclammer]

Beautiful! Great looking new lathe too!!

[@ITBR_Restoration]

👍👍👍Thanks for the support🙏

[@kotissarmat7472]

красивый компас получился в итоге, браво мастеру. весь ролик подмывало написать что старые морские компасы были заполнены спиртом, но не понадобилось т.к. Макс и сам заполнил его. реставратору желаю успехов, попутного ветра и семь футов под килем

[@kotissarmat7472]

класс и подписку оформил, жду следующих шикарных проектов.

[@user-vr5nm7ot4t]

Не компас, а компАс!

[@chrisstaylor8377]

Great but the wood needs more sanding ,still see the saw marks

[@vitaliychumak4158]

О.К. Я всё ждал ---- нальешь в конце спирт или нет . Налил ! Я служил 3 года в МЧПВ .У нас был чуть больше , но им не пользовались .

[@boomerang4864]

Why would you use a wire brush?

[@wcook5109]

Great job. Really like the mount you made for it.

[@sergei59889]

Не знал ГДР делал ещё и компасы...

[@sondelfritze9109]

Dieser Kompass stammt aus der ehemaligen DDR. VEB= Volkseigener Betrieb. Teltow ist in der Nähe von Berlin.

[@chrisstaylor8377]

Using metal for stand you will need a method compass deviation

[@shapamaks2800]

Очень классно! Люблю смотреть такие видео перед сном, лучше всего расслабляет) С чего вы начали реставрации делать? Какие инструменты как старт были?

[@ITBR_Restoration]

Спасибо. Начинал с того инструмента который был, старые отвертки, ключи..., Это уже позже, когда набралось несколько видосов, стало ясно что есть смысл построить отдельное помещение. Так и построил себе мастерскую,( небольшая, 4*3м), и уже туда подкупаю новые инструменты, токарник, пескоструйную камеру, компрессор...и т.д

[@AlekseiVasilich]

А в чем смысл ёмкости-гармошки на дне компаса?

[@jailsondasilva223]

Restaurada bússola 🧭😉

[@vincentvega9466]

you destroyed this beautiful compass,!!

[@jozsefizsak]

I'm sure I saw this before. Perhaps it was a former life?

[@ITBR_Restoration]

It's called the "DeJavu Effect"))) Actually, this is one of my old videos. I just decided to re-upload it, because in my opinion this is a pretty interesting video)).

[@jozsefizsak]

@@ITBR_Restoration I had to watch you sand that wood across the grain a second time. That hurt. 😉

[@galinapatey9371]

Класс 👍👍👍

[@ITBR_Restoration]

Спасибо!!!

[@gizmofactory]

like the compass, however the 'rwestauration' is not that great comparred to other channels out there

[@user-eq7kk6ly1t]

Где то я уже видел такое восстановления 🤔😱🙄😏

[@ITBR_Restoration]

😁😁😁

[@chinaagressor8082]

Отличненько

[@ITBR_Restoration]

Спасибо!!!

[@pcfnokia273]

Được làm bằng chất liệu đồng cho nên không bị gỉ sét gì 😂😅

[@James-ru4jx]

Also ,you could have poisioned yourself with radioactive dust . (Radium/thorium).🧐

[@alexandrbobrov3781]

11:57 - короче говоря, в компас просто залили водку))

[@ITBR_Restoration]

стратегический запас)))

[@user-rd6oe2pm5w]

Он фонит радиацией поди

[@DitrihMk1]

красивый компас, жаль исполнение халтурное...

[@utrinqueparatus4617]

The inscribed letters 'VEB' (Volkseigener Betrieb) indicate that it was made in the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (East Germany), so is post-WWll.

[@ibrahimkanar8047]

Tamir yapmasan daha iyi görunuyordu.

[@Tomy_Bee]

Why that crappy gold paint? And that hideous wood stand? It's just no just no 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

[@avnsteve1]

Awful. Sanding then painting over the brass, sanding the wood across grain, stripping slots on the screws...

[@user-rv8tm8mt3z]

Нактоуз

[@chrisstaylor8377]

Should be full of alcohol, befor you seal it

[@keithdm1466]

Explanations of the re-assembly would have been good. Generally just a pretty basic clean-up & paint job, too much time spent on the compass stand. Disappointing end to the video.

[@hoffdoesstuff]

Please send it to another KZbin restorer, not wanting to be overly negative but you butchered that resto. 🤦🏼‍♂️
