Iconic French Wonder Lamp - Restoration

In this video i'm restoring an old french Wonder lamp.
My good friend TysyTube Restoration bought this Wonder lamp on a flea market in Paris. He asked me if I want to restore it and obviously I said yes. He already restored two of them himself, I link his videos and channel below. These Wonder lamps are very well known in France, they're used on railroads mostly as far as I know.
I first wanted to paint the inside of the lamp white, but as soon as I saw the amazing look of the sandblasted aluminium I decided to go with that. I just had to remove the casting marks first and then sandblast it again. I choose yellow for the lamp with black letters and black for the handle and the switch. It had a few brass parts that were deformed to keep them in place, which I had to grind away to loosen them. I made all these parts new on the lathe and mill and gave them a nice mirror polish. I deformed them again when reassembling, except for the threads. It was quite a challenge to organize the battery, as they're not produced anymore today. MC-51 rust remover did an amazing job on the very rusty steel parts, a bit of sanding and polishing and they appeared like brand new. Same goes for the plastic parts, I sanded them wet with 400 grit and polished them with car wax.
I really like how this lamp turned out, even that the colours are not original, the yellow goes very nice with the black and polished parts in my opinion. As I mentioned above, I'll keep this lamp for myself for display.
I hope you like my work and the video.

It's not talent. I went back to school to learn exactly this trade. Before I was 30 I walked around in the world not knowing how stuff was made. In school I learned about materials, their strengths and weaknesses, how to approach working on them and learning what materials are good for what kind of stuff. This man has a lot of miles on his meter working in this branche and that is what shows. Talent doesn't exist. Talent is adequately shaped enthusiasm. You can have a preference for what you like but no one is born with the right knowledge and tools. It's all learning and practice.

Such great work, please take more time showing off. Like the handle on top moving before and after, and the red light. People love admiring your satisfaction with your amazing hard meticulous work and restoration! I love your videos. They surprisingly help me fall asleep too, and when I wake up, I pick up were I left off! Had no idea watching your videos would be so relaxing and satisfying to see antiques being given new life! Thank you!

This might be my favorite restoration video I've ever seen, and I've seen MANY. This video was incredibly satisfying. I especially love the little thumb-scrapes on the imperfections of the aluminum cast and the subsequent removal of them! This is a world-class video. Really enjoyed it!

As I watch more videos, I truly enjoy them! Much respect to you sir! Restoring its not an easy job and you make look easy! Much respect!

I can't speak for others, but I prefer when you don't post the finished result in the thumbnail, that way we get to see the grand reveal in the video itself.

Question asked several times below: What's the purpose of the plastic part 14:39 that is inserted into the reflector at 17:26? It's a prism reflector that directs part of the light from the bulb to the red lens/window at the back. 16:39 (NC USA)

@AnanyaGupta 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I was wondering that as well. Why didn't My Mechanics demonstrate the reflection towards the 'red' glass as well ☹️

Fun fact: SNCF still uses the exact same lamps ! Old and rusty-looking as they're far from restored but they still use them even in the newest modern trains.

I wish you would make more videos. The way you do things is very satisfying to watch, there's just not enough videos. You do work at a perfectionist level, and it reminds me of my Father who was a machinist. Thank you for what you do for all of us to see.
