1950s Broken Tyre Inflator with Pressure Gauge Restoration - Ceccato.

In this video I'm restoring a broken Italian tire inflator with pressure gauge from the 1950s.

I found this tire inflator with pressure gauge, which desperately needed a restoration. It was broken. Air was leaking everywhere, the handle wasn't working properly anymore and the pressure gauge didn't work either. This was definitely the most challenging restoration I did so far. I hope you like the result and the video.
