@serenity6415 5 жыл бұрын

One of the reasons that you and my mechanics are my favorite restorers is that you don't use fast forward. A bit here and there is ok, but it's much more relaxing to watch you move at normal speed, but just a bit of each step. Fast forward is more jarring and hard to follow sometimes. We don't need to see them unscrew all 6 screws, for example. I'd much rather watch one screw undone at normal speed and then jump ahead to the next stage. Keep up the amazing work all around!

Amazing, as always! A couple things to note: 1: Your soldering skills have greatly improved, you even used shrink tube. Very good! 2: You already know but I'm late to the party, you forgot the red plastic insert. 3: And finally, as for which bulb do I prefer, the original one OR a warm LED bulb, similar to the ones you had, but warmer. I think it will look way better than this artificial bluish light that has nothing to do with the old lamp. If you get decent warm LED bulbs you could easily trick people into thinking it's the original tungsten bulb. Hope you like my critique. Have a great day Tysy!
