Restoration Of a Vintage Flashlight | Brass Electric Torch Restore

Hello everyone, In this video, I'm restoring a Flashlight ,Thanks for watching.

[@LunaP1]

Those are supposed to be brass but look like gold (classic gold and light pink gold). Outstanding restoration.

[@ming60640]

Loved the video. Never would have thought a simple device was so complex. Talk about watching a craftsman in action. Absolutely gorgeous!

[@WolfgangRhys]

I love the look of these older flashlights, and the tech history is even cooler. Thanks for the video and well done!

[@calutzubv]

That was the flashlight of my childhood ❤️ In comunism time, in my country, this type of flashlight was the best one. Nice memories...❤️

[@andrepienaar6459]

Very nice restoration. Thank you! My Dad had the silver colored ones during the 50's and 60's as a policeman.

And my father as a former pilot back to 70s and 80s in Olympic Airways 🇬🇷

My grandfather had one much like that, one day we were going through his old tool chest, the 1st thing of many, he threw in the trash was that light. Upon watching this video I sadly think of what might’ve been. Once again, beautifully done.

Holy cow! The number of parts for a flashlight! Sure looked nice after you finished. And making a tool to re-roll the bead... 😲

[@craigs3183]

Love the vintage look of the flashlight 🔦.

[@ahujeffrey]

Amazing work. Great results. Creative use of the lathe. Great gasket replacement. Beautiful polishing. A masterpiece refurbished with respect and care! Thanks!

[@user-mc3vm5yc2g]

Я очень хорошо помню такой фонарик, только в серебрянном исполнении.

[@kurthansen570]

This is indeed how torches were made back in the day. Mine was very similar. They were actually not very good, but you revived this one to its former glory. Thank you for the video.

I remember one of these on my mum’s nightstand when I was a kid in the UK in the 1980s. Probably something she picked up in a junk shop so I’m guessing 1970s. You’re right, it never was very good! I was probably 8 before my hands were strong enough to move the switch, it was heavy as hell with those huge batteries, and the beam was pathetic 😂

How do you have so many commercial tools? You're one lucky man. Your work is impeccable.

[@frankierzucekjr]

That's one beautiful and very old flashlight. Phenomenal job. Soooo many pieces. Idk how you do it. Well done sir.

[@erichalim]

old memories coming back thanks

[@alaminsnighdho3818]

it's make me cry, my lot of childhood memory got with this flashlight!

[@vjzad]

I had this torch back in the 70’s, damn i’m old 🤣

[@panos.anastopoulos.]

And 80s!

[@vjzad]

It was late 70’s or early 80’s i got mine i guess. 👍🏼. It worked fine. 😉

[@5phutsangtao-iQ]

This flashlight has been around for a very long time, the day I saw it again

[@kingsbury26]

Nice job, I have several very old torches, I find they are best with non focusing bulbs if you can find them.

[@sebastianlinardi]

Quedo hermosa la linternita! Difícil restauración! Gracias por este otro vídeo. Hasta la próxima!

[@garymucher9590]

Very nice refurbishing project. It looks interestingly nice now. Thumbs Up!

[@amilcarmoncada1801]

Estupenda restauración de esta linterna vintage, saludos y respetos desde Venezuela.💯🤘👍👍👍

[@christianpaillacoi2246]

yo también cuando niño alcanze a conocer este tipo de linterna antes de q llegaran las modernas

[@wilsonwilliam5296]

Brilliantly brought back to life otherwise would have been lost forever

[@BombaBVI]

Love your work but question why you use wire cutters in some places where small pliers or needle noses would work better.

[@evilla410]

Hello there nice restoration, beautiful flashlight 👍😷

[@ioanlates3783]

Frumoasa restaurare. Felicitări!!!!!

[@sadastraightforward.india.6246]

[@shawnataylor7998]

That's a beauty!

[@andrecoetzee453]

Excellent job 👍I love old flash lights

[@sureyyaak5215]

Thank you very much for your video. You have restoration tools. I am now 63 years old and ı used to use many years ago same torch. I would like to say that there is a large diameter spring inside of bottom part that pushes the the movable part to the battery negative pole. In your original torch this part I mean spring was missing and there was a clock part in this spring hole. Thanks and best wishes.

[@blisslee8284]

my dad had one back in the refugee camp in thailand

[@funlovingJohn]

What protective finish over the brass did you use to keep it from turning dark again?

[@churlepatakha]

WHAT A PLEASING RESTORATION!

[@shawnataylor7998]

Nicely done!

[@vimalkumar3815]

New vodka🇷🇺🍸 in old bottle. 🥰😍😍 beautiful❤. Love it.

[@p.chandrasekaran2723]

Fantastic work!

[@michelecrown2426]

Incredible restoration with awesome skills! Simply beautiful.

[@mcmwilds2392]

Very thorough accomplishment Takes some patience ! ;) Only issue i noticed was with how the restoration of the top ring cap was addressed it's not fully original now with no more rib design round the top i understand that was a difficult task to get just right However overall incredible achievement 👏 👌 I'm a bit of a collector of old flashlights 🔦 with 2,500 +

[@wulaba5525]

absolutely fantastic.

[@krishnapatel6507]

[@MrJhon-qt1vn]

Very well done restauration,

[@anands6127]

Nice, specially that head part was really good.

[@jorgepui2981]

What liquid was used to restore the shine to the reflector ?

[@manecobeirao]

Good ! Very good !

[@mtrestoration3060]

Magnifique Objet 👀

[@IR-nq4qv]

0:05 - Rusty flashlight ...,0:11 Made of copper. Copper doesn't rust...the flashlight in the video is made from brass and brass don't rust either....just sayin'..... Still a great job on the restoration.👍👍

[@RESTORATIONOFSCRAPMETAL]

great job :)👍

[@Waynesbusinesschanne]

This was a wonderful restoration! I have subscribed to your channel. My husband and I love old things like thiß and you did a really great job

[@alankohn6709]

I love the art deco early 20th century style. do you know when, who and where it was made? I really like that back then even simple utilitarian thing like a torch still had to look good and have style.

[@samratbarua7977]

Very Interesting 💙💚

[@paulorth2251]

Thought you might have nickel plated the total exterior of the light.

[@nesvarog14]

Excellent work.

[@cmar4076]

Outstanding 👏🏻

[@asjadk2000]

I have used this torch in my childhood

[@richardbinell2053]

Can you give a source for your insulation gaskets? Or did you make them yourself? Thank you for sharing. Lovely work.

[@rap8825]

Wow... And relaxing

[@andreasfeustel8089]

Very well done restauration! BTW, it's brass not copper ;-)

[@kf18999]

I've only seen aluminum ones in this style, which is really rare 廣州廣東展示品

[@pgcracker82]

Does the nickel (or whatever other metal you use) adhere underneath where the wire makes contact with the object, or does it leave a small sliver uncoated?

[@Mrmikemike46]

Nice result.

[@KINGKONGVSTREX]

Very Nice,

Cada sable de luz es construido por su usuario y puede tener diferentes características, como empuñaduras únicas, cristales kyber que le dan su color y propiedades, y en algunos casos, diseños especiales, ademas... Los sables de luz son símbolos importantes en la mitología y la cultura de Star Wars, representando la habilidad del usuario, su conexión con la Fuerza y su afiliación con los distintos lados de la misma (lado luminoso o lado oscuro)...

[@GrooveyGrubworm]

I had the same thing happen to me when I was changing the light bulb on my grandfather's antique automotive test light.

[@Nasser3681]

I remember this light for 40 years back when I was a kid , this type of light I'm sure that you can control the constraint of the ligh , small and big ,,
