Restoration of a pocket Alarm Flashlight. Beautiful result.
I paid a little more than this flashlight was worth.
When communicating with the seller, I realized that this lantern is dear to him, and he sells it as needed. The price was not at all high, and I decided that for me the double price for a flashlight would not play a role, but for the seller it might be important. The seller was very surprised when I gave him a larger amount than he asked for, and tried to return the overpayment, but when he realized that I had deliberately overpaid, he simply said "Thank you!" It was a good day. I bought a great flashlight at a good price.
Restoration process:
Although the lantern was carefully kept, time did not spare it, because it is 50 years old! (1974). Rust formed on the back wall of the case, and corrosion made a hole in the case.
The chrome handles of the filters have also lost their luster and acquired battle scars.
After dismantling all the insides of the flashlight, I tested my new sandbox and compressor. I was surprised, it is 10,000 times more convenient and faster than rust removal by electrolysis))).
I then used putty to get rid of the deep sinks.
After sanding, I degreased all the details and covered with paint with a "hammer effect"
The rivets I drilled out had to be redone. For this I used an aluminum rod and a lathe.
The flashlight strap also fell into disrepair and had to be replaced. As a donor of quality leather, I took an old leather belt. (he turned out to be a little younger than the lantern, born in 1989).
Next was the most enjoyable process - the assembly of all the details!
It was a simple but very pleasant work with an object of venerable age.
I liked its new dark gray color and how the chrome handles look on the dark body.
If you like my work, I will be grateful for your likes and comments.
All the peaceful sky above your head.
Sincerely, Max.
