Restoration of an Unusually Rare doorbell. A Ghost Called ME!

1 year ago

I bought this doorbell at a flea market literally for a penny. It seems to me that the seller was ready to give it away for free, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he set a symbolic price for it ($ 1). Outwardly, the bell was in poor condition, there was heavy rust everywhere, and signs of a bad attitude towards this little thing.
Restoration process:
The first thing I tried to disassemble this doorbell, but almost all the screws were covered with thick rust. I generously doused all the screws with rust remover and left it like that for a couple of days.
After I dismantled the doorbell, I saw the stamp of an old English company on the condenser. The condenser was all covered with a layer of rust and, unfortunately, the brand could not be preserved, but the condenser itself was in working order.
With the help of epoxy, I repaired the cracks in the doorbell housing, cleaned everything well and painted it.
I also had to replace the connecting wires, as they became very hard over time and cracked from an awkward touch.
When I assembled the doorbell and connected it to the mains, they called me....

I enjoyed working with this old and mysterious thing, and I also think that the video came out great. Please support this video with a like and a comment if you feel the same!

See you next week
Best regards Max.
