It's hard to imagine any thing that's rusty today as being new and shiny in the past. These videos really help to give a look at past technologies

I am 68 now, and when I was 6 I had one of these little lights and I loved it. My brother kept it. He and I would use it to go to the outhouse in the middle of the night. They made a good light. Thanks

That early-1900-ths' tech looks so alien nowadays. The slip bearings that do not bind up, the clutches that do not wear... truly a work of art!

[hugeshows]

What a cool piece! I like the polished look you went for, I think it really worked out. Two things I want to mention - first is be *really* careful with coils and cleaning. While solvents won't cause rust, they can damage the very thin lacquer insulation on the wires and make a short. Also, in clockwork devices you pretty much never oil the teeth of gears. You only oil in the pivot holes, and you use much less oil. The idea is to reduce friction. Adding oil to the wheel teeth not only adds friction, it attracts grit which will eventually form a grinding paste and wear the teeth.

Old school tec keep old is so delightful to see redone an then keep original. Love theses videos.

Fantastic resto but a little advice from a watchmaker...way too much oil.  Just a drop on the pivots and gears and that magnet wheel would spin much more freely and longer.  The amount of oil you put in the works is creating lots more friction in that system.  With this multi-geared system, less is more.  I would disassemble, clean and oil much more sparingly.

A little excessive on the oil, but awesome restoration on an awesome historic flashlight! Fascinating that they had dynamo powered handheld lights that early in the 20th century. Thanks for sharing that!

I wonder how bright you could feasibly make it using an led bulb rated the same wattage

[ryurc]

I'm just thankful that he started with a genuinely old piece. No painted rust on plastic like so many other "restoration" projects. Thank you sir. Excellent work

[tonycheng]

I never thought that this kind of flashlight was created 100 years ago.

[seeingthepattern]

What a gorgeous little thing. Great job.

I’m always impressed you never lose any of the tiny pieces you drop so casually on the workbench!

[surrealkitten]

The fact that it had the potential to work just as it was is remarkable. It's nearly a century old!

[MrZiyouren]

So cool design. It’s interesting how bright would it be with LED instead of ordinary lamp

[zaknafein]

Excellent restoration, but I really think you should consider rewinding the corroded coils...

[AwesomeShotStudios]

I know many people (including myself) figure that an LED mod would be interesting, I think that keeping it original with the dim bulb and all is really worthwhile when it comes to a restoration. You can get cheap Chinese soulless LED flashlights for a few dollars, but those will be sitting in landfills long after this is still proudly on display.

[ttyler]

Most interesting restoration video you’ve had. Well done sir

[Syed_vlogs_YT]

I suggest you replacing the tungsten bulb with LED and capacitor, it will light the whole room, even at lower RPM

[SteveDeo]

Would you experiment and use an LED light just to see how bright it gets please?

[grandmapamm]

I never seen a light like this one I have one that charges by turning the handle to charge it but this old light is amazing I had no idea they had stuff like this back then. I love watching old lights and stoves being restored to their former glory. I am sure it could have been brighter with a led light but I was glad to see you kept it as it was back in the time it was first made.

[keevansixx]

nice restoration. if i had any wishlist improvements for this piece, it would be to solder in a couple of small capacitors and wire them between the dynamo and the bulb contact to hold a limited charge and swap out the filament bulb for a single LED flashlight bulb.
