This awesome piece of skate history came to me via some intense Ebay bidding. Once it arrived i knew it was perfect for my next vintage toy restoration piece. Based on the limited markings I can find on the wheels and the trucks, I believe we are looking at a 1969 Sears Sprotflite Mark 24 wooden skateboard, complete with Chicago 76P clay wheels.
This Vintage Skateboard Restoration was pretty straightforward, although the initial teardown yielded a lot more individual parts than I would have imagined for a skateboard.
Total time spent on restoration: 3-4 hours
The biggest mystery about this piece was the name "Ken" scratched on to the top of the deck. To me it just makes a restoration that much more memorable when you sit back and realize that rather than just a worn out item that needs to be fixed, it actually used to belong to someone who enjoyed it and thought enough about it to put his name on it. We'll never know who Ken is, but if this is a 1969 model skateboard, Ken could very well be in his 60's by now. I hope his skateboard brought his as much joy as it did for me!

I am 50 years old, and that is exactly like my first skateboard :) This was a joy to watch :)
Cool! Thanks for watching!
It kills me that no one thinks twice about restoring an old car. But restore a skateboard? OMG stop the world! New sub, as I've been restoring old skateboards for almost 20 years
@Susan Wojcicki ruined TH-cam "Good job but your also slamming a piece of skateboarding history" was the comment directly below yours...at least on my feed it was
Any place we can see your work? Instagram?
can we see and enjoy your work?
I remember those clay wheel skateboards from my youth. Yea, that was a while ago but I had one and loved it except when I hit a little pebble when I was screaming down a hill at full blast, I went end over end and smashed my knuckle and broke my big toe, ouch! Later days when the urethane wheels and kick-tails came out that was a milestone for skateboarders. In no time I was gyrating fakies and getting coping in empty pools and skating in large sewer pipes. Yea, the good ole days. Great restoration, looks beautiful, great job on those ole clay wheels. That board should be in a museum. I even made some cool boards.
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
And you rode it without a helmet!
Omg “messy but it’s sandable and paintable” sums up my furniture building course
hahaha me too
Take it to the local skate park and video the kids riding it. lol I'd love to see that.
Good job! Good memories!
I had one when i was a kid. around 1968-69. my dad made it for me. i also remember the black eye i got from it. I had lost my balance. and being the skillful non klutzy kid i was, to save my elbows and knees, i chose to hit a steel sprinkler head in the yard with my eye.
yes.. they were steel back then in the olden days. I'm 58 now.
Good Times!
ouch!! thanks for watching!!
I hope KEN watches this, you made him proud! Nice job 😎
+Rescue & Restore thanks! Love your channel!!
+Rescue & Restore thank you! 😎
@@TRGRESTORATIONS I discovered your channel after visiting the above R & R channel. You did a wonderful job on the skateboard. I remember my nephew had one and he was always riding it. His name wasn't Ken though. 🙂
so glad you didn't mess with the integrity of the board, straight forward and pure restoration. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I remember riding on a board old like that when I was a kid just starting skating, the wheels are so hard and the bushings have no give, ahh the good ole days
Great job! Had those as a kid, store bought and home made, and I have the scars to prove it!
Thanks for watching!
Hey now !?! I was born in 1967 and I'm 52 . Love your videos looking forward to seeing your next. Have a blessed day from the Albany NY area.
Right. But you have to consider the skateboard wasn’t given to a newborn.
This was bro and mine 2nd skateboard, our first one a friend made for us from an old metal roller skate, it worked ok but the steering was less than desierable. The 'real' skateboard we got is the exact one you are restoring, it got a lot of use and was a dream to steer!
My brother had one like this. Heavy beast but built to last.
I had (still do) an Ampul Amflex from the 70s. Complete opposite - really lightweight due to fibreglass deck (about 8mm thick) and that deck gives a good flex to soak up any bumps. Such a cruiser.
Wow...original chicago rs wheels...
My skateboard from the late 70s was small with both ends pointed like a banana. Both ends angled up, not just one end. It was a dumb looking skateboard. My mom saved the day on my 12th BD and got me a real skateboard. Longer and faster, made out of laminated wood. Real nice.
Friggin’ awesome job with the restoration. Love this.
Looks great and you are better on a skateboard than I ever have been.😉
Thank you! :)
Ending was great, like that you’re letting your sense of humor shine through. 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh man I wouldn't even have touched it hang it on a wall.kewl stuff
My grandpa just passed me down his skateboard it looks exactly like this but is much more banged up and has many decals
4:58 If only an electric sander could work that fast. *Dremel SPEED* LOL!
Very cool, I had one like that. Did not realize the wheels are clay
+Reed Litcher thanks! 😎
Loved it!
Great work. Beautiful.
Rad vintage skate board dude. I love it.
Thanks!
My first skate was something like this,in '84-'85,but second skate in 1990 was a cruiser made in Germany,brand of Titus,strong and fast as hell,a real beast....maybe the best years as a skater.👍👌🙏❤😜
Made my night
+Drew _is_ok thanks for watching! 😎
bro imagine riding thaaaat 😱 no grip tape, i’d fall so quick
+awesome person yeah, no idea how they managed back in the day
TRG RESTORATION sure is a beauty tho. the wood looks great!
melon does stuff no grip tape actually is not to hard really
But griptape is wayyy better
FrostPuppy298 so true
Was with you until clay wheels
Never heard of that before, sounds cool
Darn ball bearings can be quite fiddely, eh Tim. With my knee replacement I couldn't go near a skateboard for sure. Since you used the same holes for the wheel brackets, did you use a slightly larger screw to install them? I hope you and yours stay safe and I'll continue to watch for new and old projects. Cheers from Tennessee.👍🍻😷👍
Looks like my first skateboard. Those wheels were the best of the time. Other available option was steel wheels.
You did a great job. You restored it the way it should be. It wasn't over-restored, like how people have cars with mirror-polished frame bolts and perfectly aligned body panels.
Buenisimo! Gracias por subir este video
Com graxa fica mais fácil colocar as esferas.
Nice job
When I started it was mid 80's
86 first board was a Tony Hawk
What size ball bearings are those on the wheels?
I learned how to ride on clay wheel the smallest pebble would stop them clay wheels instantly not to mention absolutely no traction, I had more road rash then I'd like to remember. I was in heaven when I swapped out to the new varathane wheels. Then when I got my brand new Banana Board I was king of the hill. lol
my Dad grew on clay wheels. he kinda liked better than the resin ones
I have the same watch , Casio mudmaster with the solar and atomic timekeeping right
Nice work….is this a Hobie "Bunbuster"? I made two skateboards for my daughters and those trucks (wheels and assembly) aren't cheap. Best wishes.
I had one just like it!
Actually me, that was too funny!
A question for the people who rode these kinds of boards, what was it like?And how do you feel about the modern skateboard?
👍👍
Thanks!
Nice, except the Chicago trucks were originally shiny chrome plated steel, you shouldn't have painted them.
Definitely took away from the authentic appearance of the board
Nice job. With practice you'll get better at gluing wood.
Thanks for watching!
😊👍❤
I cried watching this
Me too ;:-(
They Still make skates .I think that is a Sears catalog skateboard.
Very pretty. But now... it's just another skateboard. Not restored, refurbished.
+TukikoTroy thanks for watching 👍🏼
If you tell me that skateboard is named 'Rosebud' I am SO outta here!
Never seen soda ash used for electrolysis before...
btw Awesome job loved how you decided to stain the wood to match the natural yellowing wich comes with time.
This was a Sears skateboard, sold from late 1963 until about 1970 - the first big skateboard boom
was 1963-65, then they went out of style, they came back at the end of the 70s with the Urethane
wheels, and then went out of style again, and are now back in style to stay ! Have fun riding it,
but BE CAREFUL - No traction, and the smallest stone or sidewalk crack will trip you up !
Good job but your also slamming a piece of skateboarding history
I hate when people shame TH-cam restorers on the pretense of "protecting history". This particular skateboard is not some irreplaceable piece of art or an important historic document, it is a common consumer product that would have otherwise decayed away. And now it looks awesome!
I come here to watch old products become new again, what did you came here for?
Slamming? He barely rode it 2 metres 🤣
Lovely restoration
+honeybre Me thank you!
not actually me.. hahahaha
Thanks for watching!
Attaud skateboard .... good
Not a bad demonstration but lacking in explanation (i.e. water temp. and amperage for electrolysis cleaning of truck parts, + more)... this should have been narrated with more details - but still a satisfactory run-down... thanks for the idea's :)
Awesome job!
+arjnsdca thanks! 😎
To everyone criticizing the creator for the method of restoration he chose, reminder: it's his video and his property to do with as he pleases.
If you wish to do it differently, please video it and upload it. Thank you.
lol thanks. everybody loves to be an expert
Very very good restoration bro 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
+Кошмар Кошмар thanks!! 👍🏼
Ты по русски говоришь ?
You need to send this to Braille skateboarding on TH-cam and see what they think
If they would link drop to their million subscribers I'd send it to them in a heartbeat lol
In today's standards this would be like if you made it yourself I have seen some electric models go for almost $500.00
It's hard to understand how people can't just ride a skateboard
why did you add laundry booster to water and electricity?
Lol, excellent restoration.
+raptors316 !! Thanks!
Atleast this guy understands the value of these pieces of art
+James SAP thanks! 😎
this skateboard may explain the sudden drop in iq during its heyday. all this can do is cause cranial injuries when it stops on every pebble. i was given one in 1974, just when silicone wheels were coming out. i gave up after a week. didnt know there was another kind. this is beautiful, the board is like a surfboard. but those wheels belong to the Spanish Inquisition.
lol Thanks for watching! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
sorry but this spiel by many commentators on this video about 'patina' is CRAP. He left a LOT of the REAL and genuine wear and tear of the years that board has spent trundling around with various owners. The metal is bare, NOT filled and painted, the board is bare and only lightly finished to give it some protection, and the REAL patina of many feet riding it is still clear if you actually bother to look. I mean even the WHEELS are the same ones and not replacements....Jesus the guy even used the same damn BEARINGS..... THOSE show the real LIFE of the board.
The 'patina' these particular people want left alone is DAMAGE and that is NEVER a good thing to ignore. To leave that is LAZY - it's like people who spray clear lacquer over rust on a car and call it 'the rat look'. NO, it's just a rust bucket with lacquer over it. This is a really good and sympathetic restoration.
I LOVED it.....even though the last time I tried to skateboard was when I was 15 (I'm 54 now so this was back when Noah worse short trousers - nice kid, mad on boats and a bit OCD about the number 2), my friend's dad had stuck fine grit sandpaper to her simple plain board (he'd made it for her) for our feet to have some grip and I still fell off it in the first 45 seconds and broke two fingers and sprained my wrist, my late mum., God rest her, completely lost her shit when she found out because I was banned from skateboards (I was,and still am, very accident-prone) clearly with very good reason! LOL! MY only query is - would a drip of oil into those bearings not be a good thing too, just added protection/lubrication? But that's a legit question and not a criticism.
+TroubleMcTrouble thanks! TH-cam is full of “experts.” I’d be more than happy to check out their restoration channel if they’d drop the link lol. I put a thin layer of white lithium grease in the bearings when it put them back together.
I think you have amazing patience with them, more than me. I didn't realise it was grease....I'm such a dope. Lol! But thanks again for the video, it was great to watch and nice to see it restored PROPERLY, but also not over restored. :)
"Waster way"? Lol
зачем
La restauración dela madera sin proteger con poliuretano. La cola sin lijar para quitar restos. Mal trabajo en la madera
Δεν παει βήμα
Please stop muting the tool sounds!!
Check out my newest video
You cleaned it, no restoration.
The mongo push though
You painted the trucks........... I cringed.
That looked like a fun restoration. I'd leave the actual skateboarding to someone younger. Just sayin".
Painting the trucks and hardware was a stupid idea. Still looks like crap.
+Christopher Air max thanks for watching 😁
