Why did I buy this old rusty Zippo?

[@fordguyjames]

glad to hear your doing much better man

[@zippolyonsden1623]

Thank you very much. It's actually surprising how good I feel right now with having correct blood flow through my heart. Only problem is having to take it easy so everything heals correctly while feeling better than I have in a while, lol.

[@Shorty43204]

Oh man that's scary! I'm glad you're out of the hospital though. But I guess if they fixed up your artery that's a good reason to fix up a zippo! I'm excited to see how it turns out.

[@zippolyonsden1623]

Thank you. Yeah, it was definitely an intense moment for me. Felt like a burning punch right in the middle of my chest. I'm cleaning up this Zippo right now actually. 🙂

Hope your feeling better man!

[@zippolyonsden1623]

Thank you. Am feeling better. Just need to take it easy for the next couple months now..

[@R32Rocco]

So sorry to hear about your recent cardiac incident! I am looking forward to seeing how well your project comes along! Good thing that Zippos don't weigh more than 10 pounds! Keep your chin up!

[@zippolyonsden1623]

Thank you. So far, with this lighter, I had to replace the cam spring. Was so rusted up that it broke when just sitting in vinegar, lol.

[@kismitscorner]

Oh man, thank modern medicine! Glad you are ok Terry! This should be a fun project!

[@zippolyonsden1623]

Thank you. I agree with thank God for modern medicine. Definitely not an experience I would like go through again lol. Small insight as to how cleaning this Zippo has been going: needed to replace the cam spring. The old one was so rusted it fell apart when I soaked it in vinegar, lmao.

[@kismitscorner]

Oh wow, makes you wonder how they treated it for it to get that way haha. @@zippolyonsden1623

Feel better and recover fully! I only have a few Zippos I use for repairs and such, but they are the best for getting a small consistent flame.

[@zippolyonsden1623]

Thank you very much. I've been addicted to Zippos since I was a teenager.

[@t064r]

A true Zippo collector is when he/she is having a heart attack, a Zippo is still on his mind afterwards. :D Anyway, glad you've recovered, wish the best for your health man. Don't forget to share the process when cleaning and fixing it and obviously the end result. Cheers!

[@zippolyonsden1623]

Thank you very much. Definitely will be sharing how it turned out in a future video.

[@zippolyonsden1623]

Thank you very much. As to your question, I'll have to check. I've heard of some sellers in Europe.

Found a link to the Zippo Turkey website. Prices seem comparable to what they would cost in USD.
