RESTORATION OF the VK-1 ARITHMOMETER in 1962 and gave it a second life!

[@YesMir]

I mean seriously, the moment you took that back plate off, I was like " Nope......Nope..NOPE " you have some serious skill my friend. Well freaking done ! :)

[@PSVRestoration]

Thanks

[@НатальяБушнева-к5я]

Ничего себе,счетная машина из СССР!!! Браво мастеру реставрации!!!

[@PSVRestoration]

Спасибо

[@Shahrdad]

My dad had one like this. We used to love to play on it. And then when Casio released an electronic calculator we thought that was a miracle.

[@patkcorcoran]

Unsung geniuses designing the product and the craftsmen creating the dies to the assemblers. Way smarter than me.

[@jamesfield5346]

Wow, beautiful work. It amazes me how you remember the intricacies. Even with the video I'd be lost.

[@garymucher4082]

I am reasonably sure I could easily take that machine apart. Problem comes when trying to reassembly again. But only if you wanted it to ever work again. I can't even begin to imagine the engineering it took to design it and than make it actually work properly. You did a magnificent job refurbishing it and reassembling it and have to look great and work... You certainly earned a big Thumbs Up!

[@PSVRestoration]

Yes, it was quite difficult to put everything back together, but I succeeded and now the adding machine is completely in good condition.

[@АлексейЛютов-ъ5ъ]

​@@PSVRestorationу меня тоже есть арифмометр 2 штуки и оба не работают

[@charefcharef9772]

Un démontage et un montage plus compliqué que la restauration, bravo monsieur.😊

[@jonvincentmusic]

This video is filled with so much hello no I don't know where to start. You the patience of a saint.

[@chadwedul1787]

Absolutely gorgeous. I'd never heard of these devices before. Quite a history. And no batteries!

[@cratecruncher4974]

Nice work on an unusual subject. I'm impressed how well the 62 year old Soviet plastic held up. Just a little crazing in the keys. Number wheels look amazing.

[@andrzejporeda7281]

Super jest odrestaurowany ten stary starodawny kalkulator do liczenia Pozdrawiam serdecznie. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@PSVRestoration]

Thanks

[@alessandracampelli6090]

It's so amazing!!! What a great piece of device, and such a perfect Restoration!!!

[@allardpaul5814]

Outre l'excellent travail de restauration, il faut saluer l'artiste pour le démontage et le remontage de cette complexe machine.bravo.

[@preciadocr1ss]

Beautiful restoration of a beautiful and interesting little machine….❤

[@liljachrist4714]

Кто вообще придумал такую шайтан-машинку 😂 Столько деталей, сколько чертежей нужно было 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Ни разу не встречала такой механический калькулятор 👍🏼

[@PSVRestoration]

Да точно, кто-то видимо очень умный придумал эту штуку в 1962 году

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

Good God,I would not have the skill or patience to restore that. You make it look easy,although we know it wasn't. I love seeing rusted over stuff restored to their former beauty and function.

[@themusicman-ij7op]

The way you took out those first few screws I said to my self “ he has done this before” You were very much at home dissasembling it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Now you have put it back together, you are a genius, just like the one who built it all those years ago 👍👍

[@ВалерийНовосёлов-л2б]

Разборка, чистка и сборка этого сложного устройства вызывает восхищение. Однозначно пятёрка. А вот восстановление внешнего вида подкачало. Выбор чёрного, лакированного покрытия не лучший вариант. Моментально отпечатки пальцев и малейшай царапина и потёртость сразу налицо. И ещё сразу новоделом отдаёт. Не зря эти арифмометры покрывались серой, молотковой эмалью. Без обид. Просто примите к сведению. Но все равно Вы молодец! 😊👍

[@PBV1960]

Я то же самое написал про серый молотковый. А насчёт обид - если автор боится, что его покритикуют, пусть не выкладывает видео. Мы же, критики, только добра ему желаем, что бы впредь лучше получалось. Нам, с дивана, виднее 😜

[@PSVRestoration]

Никаких обид, серый цвет мне не очень показался, такие счёт машины были и черного цвета в оригинале вот я и решил что пусть будет он черным,

[@PSVRestoration]

На счет отпечатков пальцев это да, но считать на нем как раньше уже никто не будет, поэтому это уже не проблема. Черные они в оригинале тоже были, правда матовые.

[@xxxlon]

Не знаю по чему, но во всех роликах про реставрацию, у меня самый любимый отрезок ролика, где детали пескоструют 😅

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

It is therapeutic. Seeing something that was rusted over brought back to life.

[@stefanodeluca-jl2si]

[@kennorton1478]

That's a resurrection! brings back to life some dead items is true joy to experience and witness. thanks.

[@carmelitadasgarcasdeolivei7985]

Aai que maravilha de trabalho! Ficou completamente novo. Parabéns !❤❤❤

[@PSVRestoration]

Obrigado.

[@raughboy188]

That should be in technical museum. I've seen so many old devices but till now i never heard of arithmometer.

[@mskayla7747]

The purpose of the disassembly video is to help with the reassembly process. Especially on something with so many parts. 😉 Kudos for the well done restoration 👍

[@davidgray5127]

Just imagine going through the entire reassembling process only to have 1 little piece left over! DOH!!!

[@syl2063]

Lorsque je t'ai vu démonter toutes les petites pièces, je me suis dit '' si c'est moi qui fait ça, je peux directement le mettre à la poubelle car je pourrais jamais remonter cela''. J'imagine que tu dois avoir travaillé dur pour y arriver. Bravo

[@robertmanley7556]

Very nice work !!! My lord all the tiny parts soooooo many amazing work is all I can day it looks fantastic !!! 👍👍👍

[@georgebrown8312]

Wow that is awesome how you restored that arithmometer to working order. Even more amazing is how you managed to put the gears and other parts back into proper timing with each other so that you could make accurate calculations in each mode of operation, as complex as the mechanism is. Anyway, it looks much better and it works like a charm too. Excellent work.

[@PSVRestoration]

Yes, it was not easy to put it back together, but I succeeded. Thank you for the comment.

[@naderhumood]

Subtle... . Guy....Thank you very much indeed.

[@oneshotme]

If I tried this I'd have so many extra parts left over LOL

It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

Thanks

[@juliangriffiths7298]

What a remarkable machine. And what a wonderful transformation! But how on earth did you remember how to put it back together???!

[@all4espi]

Really nice, but I am EXTREMELY disappointed you did not redo the Raggrinzante (wrinkle) finish. It's much more befitting the device, and far more elegant than a shiny piano black, but that's me, I guess.

[@patstrailertopics5975]

I was hoping for a nice green hammerite, too.

[@Juraberg]

😎👍 Assembling it is a nightmare 😃. Congratulations, it is a beauty!

Thanks, it wasn't really that difficult to assemble it.

[@marciowashingtonmartins3954]

Nice

[@x84pav84x]

Достойная работа. Только огорчает, что не полностью разобрал.

[@PSVRestoration]

На самом деле я его полностью разбирал, просто некоторые моменты не стал вставлять в видео, там много мелких ещё деталей все это на пружинах их очень было тяжело собирать при этом надо было ещё снъять красиво, получалось не очень вот и не вошли в кадр эти моменты.

[@D-Mac56]

That is an astounding job! Have you considered graphite instead of oil? It should attract less gunk in this application

[@cyb3rphr33k]

Beautiful! I love these things. Have you ever lost or misplaced a part during a restoration? The only remotely similar thing I tried to repair was a Tomy Digital Daredevil (an 80s electromechanical toy) which ended up in trash due to frustration :(

[@PSVRestoration]

Thank you. Sometimes I lost cogs and bolts.

[@WARASUBOFACTORY]

wow! its Babbage Engine!

[@gonzochick360]

God, I envy your brain

[@SOBIESKI_freedom]

If I were to pull all that apart, I'd have no chance in hellfire to reassemble it.

[@uelmills]

Part one: You’re crazy. Part two: Don’t do it! Final Assembly: You are unbelievable!

[@davidgray5127]

To think someone created this in the first place is mind-blowing. I feel so dumb now.

[@hridoygovindadas914]

How cool

[@bengtforsbergvideo]

My fader voos verry god on this....

[@JManwilderness]

Sorry, I don't do math very well (autistic) and I definitely didn't follow how you made those calculations. But I suppose as the first reliable calculator, one could adapt to its intricacies and be successful with it, especially since it was manufactured from the late 1800s through WWI

[@OfficialRainsynth]

So this is technically a mechanical calculator in a sense? Judging by the badging, it was made in Soviet Union in the 60's. Nevertheless, you did an amazing job restoring this machine. But it's still kinda confusing to me, how exactly it does the basic calculations. I just know it has something to do with those levers and a crank.

[@alinazari8457]

Nice cleaning job ,paint should have being textured not this tich coat of black paint.

If they were to manufacture one of those today, 90%+ would be plastic.

Розібрати і зібрати арифмометра - то вже подвиг. Сам колись таким чином реанімовував Фелікса. Але от чорний, та ще й глянцевий колір - ну, це як чорні Жигулі, на дууже рідкісного любителя 🤔

That's how Howard Hughes counted his money

[@mainardporto5722]

Tenho o maior interesse em comprar uma dessas, mas acho que para pagar terei que vender um rim.

[@PSVRestoration]

This Arichmeter is not so expensive

[@GlennTillema]

I really liked the restoration but wish we could have seen how you restored the glass windows and the gauges at @12:38 Also, how are you telling it plus, minus, or multiplication?

[@cpo415]

That will come in handy when you are eating out and need to calculate the tip.

I put together a 3 basket hamper from Amazon that arrived without the instructions, and it only took me 2.5hrs and 6 mental breakdowns. I feel like this might take a little more time than that... Over several years. Pick it up, put it down, call a therapist kinda project. Ya know?
