Restoration of an Old Railway Lantern. Beavers that Gnaw Iron.
I was surprised that after so many years all the original parts were preserved in this lantern!
I found this flashlight at an internet flea market. The seller asked for 20 bucks for the lantern, bought without bargaining and with great pleasure.
I'll tell you a secret, at the flea market there were lanterns in almost new condition and at a lower price. It seems to me that the sellers of old things are aware that there is a certain group of people who want rusty things, and therefore, from two identical lots, the one with more rust will be more expensive!!!!
Recovery process:
The first thing I did was fill it all up with WD-40. Some nuts had to be heated with a soldering iron, but this did not help either - here the Dremel cutting wheel came into play.
Having completely disassembled the lantern, I sandblasted it. As it turned out later, a fairly large part of the body consisted of rust, and when the metal was cleaned of rust, the body became like a sieve, and the upper edge seemed to have been gnawed by mice or beavers))).
I have long wanted to try a special plasticine for metal, the so-called "cold welding". The instructions say that they can close up holes in metal, as well as make lost or missing parts.
I tensed up quite a lot remembering the developmental plasticine modeling classes that I attended in kindergarten. After spending a couple of hours on the theoretical part, then I fashioned the corroded upper part of the case, and filled up the through holes.
After a couple of hours, the plasticine hardened and was quite well processed.
Smaller irregularities I puttied and then all grouted and painted.
I want to write a few words about batteries. I was surprised by their vitality! They are over 30 years old, and I only had to fill them with electrolyte and recharge a little, as they came to life again, AMAZING QUALITY.
Overall, I enjoyed working on this lantern, although it took me longer and was behind my posting schedule. Therefore, a big request to you, click "thumbs up" under this video, and write me a small comment (for example, what do you think about this project, or what are the shortcomings in the work). This will help me a lot!!! Thank you.
Take care of yourself!
Best regards Max!.
