Very Rare Musical Lighter Restoration...Japanese 1960's!

I restore a very rare musical lighter. This vintage Aria lighter comes from Japan! To fix it I had to use a lot of rust removal, thank you PB Blaster, and a whole lot of polish. I pulled out my small hand tools to grab all the little springs and screws. I couldn't believe how many little screws it had.

Music box repair WOW! Beautiful job. Thanks again for

[@condar419]

I love seeing restorations done (beautifully) without the need for $60,000 in equipment!

[@davedoughty1213]

That was absolutely amazing!!! You must have been a surgeon in another life!!! You have extremely strong skills and a great memory to complete the transformation. Thanks for sharing this video. Just incredible!

[@isaiahpero7837]

This is the first time I've ever seen a musical lighter before. It's looks gorgeous! Great job!

[@tony7043]

Excellent meticulous work on this gem, came out with beautiful workmanship, really something to be proud of, thank you for sharing. Regards Tony

[@garymucher9590]

A steady hand and a lot of patients is certainly needed with this refurbishing project. Nice results. Thumbs Up!

[@lostandrestored]

You're right the lighter had lots of small parts. I found another lighter that should test my patients again.

[@Evan420]

Thank you! I picked one up today and I needed to know where the parts went. The flint disintegrated in mine so I had to take the insert apart

[@rajuraj-jk5xw]

Wow..the first time I saw a music lighter which has no speaker, battery yet giving a melodious music...great..😊

[@GT_Racer347]

I didn't realize that there are so many parts in there! Wow.

[@lostandrestored]

It was a process for sure. I learned a lot on this project.

[@robleary3353]

Nicely done!.

[@sdupre61]

What an amazing difference from start to finish. Who knew there were so many tiny pieces inside?

[@jessgreenwood262]

Beautiful ❤.

[@jeanettebarbieto2124]

👌❤️ Very Nice! Good Job🙂

[@austinhughes6852]

First time I’ve ever seen a musical lighter before.

[@Ron-vq3zl]

Austin Hughes, My first time also, & I must say I'm quite surprised by it! Judging from the identical font used for that lighter's brand name: "Aria." I'd venture to guess that this lighter was either manufactured by, or made in corroboration with; the Aria Musical Instrument Company. Can't say for sure of course, but I just have a hunch about it!

Thanks! 👍

[@19Bmiller]

Quite a piece of machinery. Well done

[@Ladybug-uf7uh]

You are awesome! For a few seconds here and there, I might have been seeing a vintage watch being restored: such fine work. Thank you for the video.

[@sanman187-]

Brasso is great, Nevr-Dull is even better, and not as messy! I used Brasso when I was in flight school in the Air Force, Nevr-Dull later when I found out about it. Nevr-Dull also polishes metals, beautifully, that Brasso won't touch.

[@chandarussell]

Now that is one original lighter. I’ve never heard of a musical one before. I bet it would be worth a lot in good condition.

[@navigatorofnone]

This is one heck of a complicated lighter 😱😅 and you did an exemplary job in restoring it. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@lisapino6739]

That is the most amazing lighter I've ever seen. You brought it back to life and then some. I'll be 60 next month. I think that I need it.😃 You are a true artist. Happy Easter

[@최혜연-e9d]

wow the final moment that music came out👏 truly mind blowing

[@jeanmariedu5914]

Remarquable vous avez un savoir faire et une patience à toutes épreuves. Heureusement que des gens comme vous existent pour redonner vie à d'anciens artefact que l'on croirait perdus. Bravo.

[@rutikuiwa8427]

I have many years a go Aria mark drums :D Nice work

[@Bender13]

Beautiful restoration. Funny that it’s so plain, though. You’d think on such a unique object that there would be some form of etched picture or scroll work on the case. Still nice, though.

[@alonepeixes5979]

Perfeito de mais, parabéns pelo trabalho.

[@londonlondoner5752]

My dad used to have it when he was in army

[@Alice_See_Alice_Do]

I tried fixing two of these… never got the flint wheel to move well enough to create a spark.

[@thumpyloudfoot864]

Fun Fact: Aria is a big musical instrument manufacturer...

[@bethanylevin4]

Hi I watched your video and restored the lighter it’s now working great! However when I took out musical component it literally fell apart? The “plate” the pieces were on is plastic it broke into pieces. At this point all I want to do is get the case connected back to the lighter but can’t figure out how to or what to connect the “screw and music box key” help please

[@NolaGal2601]

Woah!

[@ConstantinGrau-rk5jr]

Ai Man You are amazing i,from Romania You cool i live zippo,s

[@Dokkaebiii]

This one might be the most complex lighter I've ever seen

[@lostandrestored]

I'll let you in on a little secret. It took me 3 times to get it working. You're right it was really complex, but it prepared me for the fishing reel.

[@arleteerjautz75]

Impressionante..o que vc faz..

[@tajaze6423]

1:27 lo comiste con gefilte fish ? Yummmi!!!!

[@charcolew]

And it still plays the same tune!

[@clo120100]

So I’m trying to fix this same lighter, the key that turns for the music box won’t come out. It rotates and sounds like it’s maybe stuck on the coil spring. Any tips on how to get it out?

[@arturoaaguilarperez1200]

Chulo de precioso.

[@5cloudwalker]

Awesome restoration and just think Bic came around and ruined everything lol

[@1974likewhoa]

I have 2 musical lighters that I've been wanting to get repaired but there isn't anyone near where I l8ve to do it

[@ZION73082]

So I guess he just restored morbius's lighter lol 😋

[@Pereirovsky]

how did you take the winding thing off?

[@Raftimusprime]

I wonder what happened to all the hands that lighter passed through.

[@michael5650]

Hey I’m not sure if you’ll see this but I just got one of these lighters and it needs to be restored but I’m having trouble finding the parts is there anyway you know where I could find them?

[@lostandrestored]

I got two from eBay and combined parts.

[@Comebackispossble]

Any one knows the lighter music name I have some momery on it plz give me theme name

[@mitchnorton3709]

Didn't know they still made Brasso.

[@persioboni9373]

Gostei.

[@MaryEllenJacobs-r3z]

Where can I get that crew cap in minute 1:20?

[@ianallen2]

You didn’t replace the pin which starts the music when the lighter is pressed

[@BambooBob]

I could do this...until I had to put it back together!

[@sukablyt7051]

I have one of these what can I use for the screw part above the music wind up

[@MrMacDroadrunner]

my question also. Did you ever figure out what that little screw part is for?

[@dumitrucatalin1192]

Someone saw that missing 1st lamella of comb from musicbox ?

[@GG-mb9rr]

Do you restore lighters for people?

[@lostandrestored]

send me an email and I can see if it's something I can do, [e-mail]

[@jakefromstatefarm9721]

what's your technique for the fake rust look that you so often use in all your restoration videos.

[@marta8292]

perfeito👏👏👏

[@karlhammer8151]

It was necessary to cover the lighter body with varnish, the brass will darken over time.

[@mushfiqurrahman2515]

That's the most complicated lighter I've ever seen

[@М-16-в7б]

🙂👍

Tiny screws everywhere😂

Who gave them idea to make such a tiny lighter with too many components? Lols

Looks like something Q would have made for James Bond. Just needs to have a secret nuclear device remote controller built in...

[@lindalworkman2150]

? I have a really old lighter I'd love to get working again. I'd pay to ship and send back, plus your time... Let me know

[@paulcolon6563]

Can people send you there’s to restore 🤔

[@lostandrestored]

Definitely, just email me at [e-mail]

[@francischagas2995]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💋💋💋❤❤❤

[@stevenbuck4090]

Need to polish your videos more. Also no one wants to see you setting up a grinder.

[@parremorgan2605]

That was truly amazing, the amount of work you needed to put it back together! Never seen a musical lighter before but now I desperately want it!

[@lostandrestored]

It really is a cool little lighter.

[@abrek229]

[@jeffreysteadman1809]

​​@@lostandrestored I have the same type of lighter all it needs is the musical box and the lighter area repaired is there a way that I can send it to you and have you repair it I'll pay you for your work if that's okay. The only reason why I'm asking you to respond to me is that I cannot find anyone that can fix it I live in the US as well It's a 1961 house of Beauregard musical lighter from Japan

[@jeanneblackwell5123]

Wow I never in a million years expected to find a video of this nature. I have an old Aria and the music doesn't work. It was my husband's and I found it in some of his things I was going through. I think it was over wound and needs a new flint. You are truly an artist. That was so well photographed and every step was beautifully demonstrated. Such a steady hand. I just loved watching this precise in motion. I don't think I can do this myself. I don't have the tools or the patience. I am 78. I was dying to know what the tune was. Fur Elise. Wow. I love that tune. I learned to play it by just memorizing the notes. I don't play the piano. All in all I will have to say this was just a super delightful find. You are in my treasured bookmark folder. Thank you ever so much for this stunning video. Very grateful on many levels.

[@LeagueofBoom]

If you would like to get it restored or sell it I will buy it from you/ Restore it, I am just getting started with my own lighter collection and would love to work on one.

[@abhi739]

I want to buy this, pls tell me how to buy
