Restoration of an Unusually Rare doorbell. A Ghost Called ME!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2022
- 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.

That's an interesting item. The logo on the bottom of the rod at 7:34 I think is of the German company Zwillingswerk in Solingen. They are known for their knives, so what their logo is doing on a doorbell I don't know.
Wow!!! you are absolutely right! when I cleaned this part of rust, I saw a symbol on the part - two drawn little men, but I did not attach any importance to this! And now when I googled the name of the company that you wrote, I saw the same people on their logo! I'm more and more interested in the origin of this doorbell. Capacitor from England, and this part from Germany!!! My brain is about to explode🤯🤯🤯
By the way, the Zwilling Company is quite old, it was founded in 1731!!!
Zwilling produced their own steel for around 100 years. Maybe it's from this time and Zwilling was only a supplier for this specific part.
You would be amazed at what some companies have made as sidelines - like the Chrysler Missile Division…
@@christophandre Cool guess!
A bit of a bummer we didn't get to see most of the cleaning process, but it looks gorgeous in the result. Keep it up, it's been hard finding other genuine restoration channels that weren't a complete fraud and I'm happy I found this.
This is not a doorbell. It's a telephone bell. It works on approx 75v AC current
I've never seen a doorbell like that before. You did a beautiful job and brought it back to life. Bravo! You make incredible videos to relax by as well.
2:39 your multimeter can measure capacitance you don't need to put it in resistance mode
I’m genuinely surprised that the capacitor still works, I replaced capacitors in an audio amplifier after 10 years
Didn’t expect that ending . . .
Capacitor is fine. Amazing how things used to be extremely durable.
Made from paper and transformer oil, as long as case is sealed it will be working.
That might actually be an antique telephone ringer rather than a doorbell. I think I have seen them wired with antique phones. Very nice restoration. A lot better then my restorations. If I did the job it would be working but still look the way it looked before.
Thank you. Maybe you're right about the phone ringing.
Definitely a telephone bell. Two coils, central magnet, and no interrupter contacts means it works on low frequency ac (not mains frequency). Plus it looks like every other telephone bell.
@@wilhelmvonn9619 Yep, I was wondering what was missing and as you pointed out there are no "make-break" contacts. Plus I have seen these in pictures of antique telephone circuits.
@@ITBR_Restoration Regardless, its still a very nice piece. The idea off using the two glass bowls as gongs really adds a nice touch to the whole thing.
@@WitchidWitchid - My guess is that it operated on low frequency AC, which was the defacto standard in the era this bell was manufactured (25Hz was very popular in those times and for that matter, there are actual telephone ringers which would be fully compatible with that sort of current).
I think some folks here could be correct, a fair number of early phones were not especially loud auxiliary bells were a surprisingly common feature probably because there was likely to only be a single phone even in relatively large houses.
Excellent job dude. Love the finished look, keeping the aged appearance but clean and tidy by not going to town too much on the sanding and smoothing. Proudly showing it's years 👍👍👍. 😎
Nice job!
Thanks!!!👍👍👍
Очень интересный, раритетный, старинный звонок 🔔, со стеклянными чашечками, в которые ударяет молоточек. Кстати, звук довольно таки приятный. Спасибо 🙏 вам огромное, за ваши золотые руки. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Спасибо за просмотр и поддержку! Звук можно отрегулировать совершенно различный, можно винтом регулировать амплитуду молоточка, и поворотом чашечек увеличивать или уменьшать между ними расстояние.
Мне тоже понравилась именно такая настройка звонка!
Nice work, Max!
I restored a device that had a similar capacitor. What I did for it was print out a decal from decal paper and put it on the capacitor after repainting it. You would have to look very closely to tell it was not the original printing.
That's an phone bell made by RFT in the DDR (GDR) the Glass bells were used because there Was a metal shortness in the 50s.
The Name is W for Wecker ( bell ) 38.
That's a beautiful piece of work I wish they still did stuff like that.
The capacitor could be a german one, you can see at 2:15 the text at the bottom "Geprüft mit 650 V =". The text "10.40" on top should be the production date, October 1940. In war time (WWII) Germany used glass bells to save metall. Sometimes you can find old telephones with glass bells.
As ever, nice work, it is very relaxing to watch you videos.
Absolut Klasse! Danke ;0)) Grüßle
6:27 Kids. Those dots that show up in the paint. Those are called fish eyes. They are the result of not properly degreasing the surface prior to paint application. Always degrease first. Before sanding or anything... degrease.
Never saw anything like this , brilliant work.
❤❤❤
Remarkable. Thank you.
Congratulations again on your restoration talents my friend. And excellent use of the vice grips 👍🏻
Beautiful restoration love the details Hooe this us a keeper
Que lindo quedo!!!!! Yo lo quiero 😍
😉😉😉
Amazing job!
I'm sitting here typing this and looking at my possibly 121 year old doorbell mounted on the wall. It came out of a house I once owned which was built in 1901. It still works and is used as the front door bell. It has a brass bell, not glass.
Just realized that it's only 40 years older than me.
Your repairs are now part of that ringer's history, just like many repair personell sometimes left a folded up piece of paper with their name, date and what they did, maybe you could stick an SD card with this video to it somewhere.
Looks unusual indeed, well done.👍
Well done🎉❤
És um grande artista parabéns pelo seu trabalho
beautiful English play. The work was very good.
Thanks🤗🤗🤗

Great job
Thanks!!!
Никогда не видел такого дверного звонка.Звук у него приятный.
What an interesting little machine. The pink wire was a nice touch
Matches his bracelets.
Ótimo trabalho e belo encerramento 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Obrigado pelo apoio! Também gostei do final!🤗🤗🤗
The bakelite should have been painted gloss or semi gloss black to match existing. And is that coiled wire pink?
A lot of those glass bells don't survive intact. I wish this had been a true restoration and you would have a nice piece.
Very nice work u r great
Very well made video! Enjoyed and inspired!!! Thank you! Good luck to you master!
Ох, столько истории в этом канале, Макс👍🏻. Респект 🔥🔥🔥
Спасибо!!! Во мне проснулся режиссёр)))
@@ITBR_Restoration очень заметно 👍🏻
Удачное цветовое решение - светлый) Звук очень приятный!
I like that it can milk cows because who needs a door bell when they are in the barn
Super tare
nice work
👍🤗🤗
First time I have seen a doorbell with glass bells. Awesome job you did restoring it to working order and it looks better as well. Great work.
Thanks for support. I had a lot of fun working with this doorbell. I love old and unusual things!
The same. Seen a lot of old doorbells with metal bells. But no one with glass bells. It is indeed unique.
It was actually quite common during WW2, also with bells in telephones. The background is that metal was scarce and needed in weapon manufacturing, so they tried to substitute it wherever they could.
@@sebastiankettner1144 WWII is probably spot on, the capacitor looks to have a 10/1940 date code. And I'm sure this is telephone equipment.
No, that does not mean the capacitor is good. It means it can hold a charge, but there are measurements a true capacitor tester makes that a resistance check doesn't. Such as internal leakage, esr, etc. You need to use an actual capacitor tester to test a capacitor.
That said, for this capacitor, your test may have been good enough. As it's a low frequency relatively low current application.
AMAZING 🤔... Great restoration 👍 Congratulations and greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪🖐️
☺️☺️☺️ Thanks 🙏🏻
Excelente 👏👏

Интересный звонок. Никогда такой не видел. 👍👍👍
Спасибо за поддержку и просмотр!👍👍👍
I think Russian can made doorbell from old telephone bell mechanism and two "vodka" bottles :D

Это немецкий звонок, трофейный. Мейд ин Третий Рейх. )))
Скорее всего, от телефонного аппарата.
За 40 лет, лак на проводе становится ломким и трескается. Большая вероятность между виткового замыкания.
Great job! I would have liked to have seen even the paper being replaced on the capacitors, but that's okay. Very relaxing to watch.
Thank you for watching. I did not know that paper can be replaced in the capacitor, thanks for the advice.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Or,as they were called in those days..."condensers ".

Судя по уголкам и отверстиям на " шасси" должна быть ещё и коробка.
Я тоже так думаю. Но сколько бы я не искал изображения оригинального звоночка, так и не нашёл. Поэтому не стал делать крышку
That is because you searched for doorbell instead of telephone ringer. Try your search again...
Процедура покраски прямо-таки на троечку с минусом. Надо шкурить, шлифовать и грунтовать. А не лить краску жирной струей на неподготовленную поверхность.
Glass gongs…now that’s interesting. Never have seen that before
I also saw this type of gongs for the first time. I think it's pretty rare!
Doorbell sounded like: *ding dong*
Okay, I shat myself. Thanks.
Ummm... you do know that your meter has a capacitance measuring setting... right? It's marked with F.
The capacitance is of less importance than the leakage, when testing old capacitors. Though usually leaky caps increase in capacitance because the dielectric gets thinner from the chemical breakdown of the paper, so if you find a capacitor that has +50% it's likely to be leaky.
That said, neither an increase in capacitance, nor a few hundred K of leakage will do any harm in this specific application.
Oh dear was hoping you'd buff up the bakelite backing plate using cutting and polishing as one does with radios brings out colour other wise nice.
Same. I was disappointed they didn't burnish that beautiful bakelite and painted it instead 😢
Super😃
Спасибо!!!
Don't know what sound i was thinking, but it was not that. Great job!
Świetnie jest odredtsłtowany ten stary z przedwojenny dzwonek pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku 👍👍👍👍
2:42 se não me engano , a escala correta para medir capacitor é a escala de F ( farad ) e não a de resistência (OHM) .
Great job my friend but to other videos I sugest to clean the screw and polish all the parts say hello from Venezuela 👍🇻🇪🤘❤️
Really liked the video before the "scary" scene at the end. Why add hat to this wonderful resoration?
Bello restaurò
Привет мастер. Хорошего дня.
Привет BRAT! Спасибо, и тебе удачного дня! 👍
Все хорошо, только почему так плохо спаяно???!!!
Yeah, that was pretty fun at the end. 😏
I tried))) honestly)))
@@ITBR_Restoration It was especially cool because I watched this last night in a dark room. 🤌🤜🤛
The logo on the post at 7:32, is for Zwilling, Germany, so maybe a German bell with English parts?
Das ist keine Türklingel, sondern ein Zweitwecker aus der Zeit der drahtgebundenen Telefonie. Der Kondensator ist in Reihe zu der Erregerspule geschaltet.
At 7:30 there is clear mark of Zwilling J. A. Henckels AG,Solingen, Germany. Possibly only the steel part was made by them because they are known for excellent steel knives.
Mantap bang 👍 di tunggu vt selnjutnya 👍
Terima kasih))) sampai jumpa pada hari Selasa)))
That shiny white porcelain color might not be original but it sure is handsome, goes beautiful with the cleaned brass.
Original was likely "bakelite".
@@Og-JudyI agree it looks like it, and for the age it has to be.
I didn't see the restoration of the plastic transparent glass parts. Did I miss it?
Мой сосед бухарик звон стаканов оценил положительно))
Awesome work! What the name of ending song? 😎
Как два стакана!!! Пора бухать! 😁😁😁
glasses should not be parallel. this is adjustable for best hammer action
I see you.
Что-то как-то Станиславский вспомнился. Стеклянные чаши не совпадают с началом и концом ролика. Центральный шток, который тёрли наждаком, в размере не уменьшился. Бронзовое кольцо молоточка село с скрипом хотя должно было просто проскочить.. Стеклянные чаши посажены на отежизь .. Они должны звучать при ударе значит должны висеть на мягком подвесе. А тут считай намертво к корпусу прикрученны.
The thumbnail had me thinking it was an electric breast pump from 1919 or something.
неправильное расстояние между чашками...
Цвет изменен, это не реставрация.
How many liters wd 40 do you use in a month??
Very neat, would have loved to hear it ring.
🤗🤗🤗👍
baru kali ini saya menemukan bell sebesar itu unik.mungkin saya blm lahir di jaman nya😁😁
Why are so many steps being skipped?
👍👍👍👍👍❤️!!!
WHAT KIND OF ALARM BELL USES GLASS BELLS!?!?!
I didn't understand the devil at the end of the video.
Wait a minute, I'll explain now. As soon as I assembled this doorbell and connected it to the electrical network, it immediately rang three times, and then there was a knock on my door three times, and when I opened it, I saw .......😱😱😱
