Nuclear Submarine Light Restoration. Cold War Restoration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- I bought what I (and the seller) thought was a rusty ship light for 30 euros to restore it. After doing some research on ebay etc., I found the lights were probably from a nuclear submarine and worth well over 200 euros. Pretty great find. And it was a lot of fun to restore it even though all the rusted bolts and screws gave me some gray hair.
The disassembly on this project took a lot of time. Probably half of the screws were so badly stuck I was almost not able to open them and some of them broke. Even after soaking the parts in rust remover some of those would rather brake than open. I drilled those holes open and made new threads for those. I also had to make most of the broken screws by myself but I left that out from the video. Basically I used a normal screw as a base and rounded the heads and cut them to desired length. Rounded tops are not common these days so I couldn’t find any of those from shops near me.
After I had used rust remover I used paint stripper to remove the old paint. The parts were painted with light gray, like it originally was. This paint doesn’t need a base coat underneath. I didn’t fill/file all the casting marks to keep the original look and because I fell this type of item doesn’t need to be all completely even and shiny. That would also have required me to remove a lot of material as there were some deep pits from the casting process. I also nickel plated all the steel parts that were left outside the shell to protect those from rusting again.
I had to do a slight modification for the electronics. The lamp originally had some wire running to other lamps but since I only had one lamp I decided it’s better to remove those rather than leave cut wires with live electricity inside the lamp. I thought it would be fun to add an alarm noise and time relay to the switch so it would have this alarm effect like there was an emergency or a missile launch.

2am, about to goto sleep
TH-cam: "look at this dude restoring some cold war shit"
Me: *sigh* one more
I fell for it aswell, 5:00am for me.
TheSpoi 2am for me
Its 8:46 am
Imagine how bored he is being up working on a old light!!
Checks out. Just finished the video, it's 2:34 am right now.
Bucket: "Liquid ice"

*comedy*
That stuff worked wonders for cleaning those parts. Do you happen to know where he got it from? There isn't a link to it in the description.

Rain ong i felt stupid cus i thought it was a funny name for acid then i thought about it liquid ice is water
Yes, I usually use condensed water vapour, so I was like... whaaat?
Yeah, frozen water is easier to understand.
Yeah I googled liquid ice and everything. Me and my dumb ass don't belong on the internet

The wrench that comes out after the pliers to remove the second bolt on the dome is called 'I'M NOT ASKING ANY MORE'.
I binge-watched most of your videos yesterday. I like how you choose to edit your videos: no constant talking and no background music, just the important sounds of craftsmanship at work. So much is lost when you cannot hear the tapping, scraping, drilling, and buzzing of tools.
Add to that the quality of your work and how you show close up every piece as it is being taken apart, what I see here reminds me of a TV show that I watched many years ago (I forget the name.) You do outstanding work.
youtube recommended at 2:30 AM "here is a man fixing technology you have never seen before"
Fruco Gaming me to welcome to TH-cam recommending me the same thing
yup same
ya pretty much
yupp
Lol
It's exactly 2:30 am as I read this
If you have trouble with seized parts you can boil the assembly in oil. The oil gets very thin and can penetrate tight spaces. That works especially well if you have a steel piece stuck in an alloy piece as the heat expands both parts - but the alloy part will expand more due to the physical properties of the metal. Hope this helps in future restorations!
Edit: I think that white gunk on the large threaded pieces was old sealant or nylon ribbon used to keep an air tight (or water vapour tight if your in a submarine) seal.
This is the lantern "I can not give way." Red is left, green is right. Designation on ships. This particular one was made in the USSR in 1975.

The oddly shaped lens is called a Frensel Lens, and was the predecessor to modern diffused lenses. They were used exclusively in lighthouses from the 19th and mid 20th century. Great find and restoration!

This is the channel I come to now when I get stoned, it is so relaxing and my brain stays focus the entire time. I love that there is no talking, no music and some comedy lol
That made me chuckle 👍
Hey, this channel called "Best Relaxing ASMR" is stealing a fair amount of your videos, and others most likely also stolen from other TH-camrs. You should try to deal with this. Best luck.
Feels like "best telaxing asmr" boted his sub. He already got more than 5k sub in 9 videos

Hey @Odd Tinkering . Big thanks for the heart.
Really nice to hear how hard he's trying to unscrew the screws by listening to the vibrations via headphones/earbuds.
The conclusion was alarming.

Ye, and this means its not a submarine light ;)
@@psialt9720
Unless I'm mistaken, submarines still need signal lights in case their radio dies, redundant systems and all that.
Also, the Soviets. It wouldn't surprise me if they fielded boat signal lights as torches, considering how little of a shit they gave about their troops.

Me - THERAPY
20:52 That’s scared the living liquid ice out of me. I was just lying down on my bed in peace looking at the video and I turn my head for one second I almost fainted from fright.
As someone who used to build electric motors my instincts are screaming to Vaseline the gaskets so they last longer but anyway, this video is just so enjoyable to watch. Thanks!
Vaseline is petroleum-based and therefore, with time, likely to degrade these original, older, rubber seals (unlikely to be nitrile or neoprene)..... A sealant designed specifically for rubber would be recommended, such as us used for rebuilding brake calipers.....
The gasket and the washer are placed in a wrong order too (a very common mistake, so it could come like this from where he bought it). The washer comes between the gasket and the screw, so that the screw won't twist too much it when tightened.
Mine too!

beautiful restoration, glad to see old industrial and military stuff brought back to life, even if it is a light it's good to see it as it was in the day :)
The label reads: "I Can't give way" )))
Thought I’d give some advice, I’m taking agricultural classes and learned that when you make new threads, it’s best to keep your hands open instead of making a fist. The reason why is because your left/right hand may be stronger than the other, and it could mess up the thread.
Also keep the Damn thing level like fuck that bugged me

@@4hunnid50 nice
I noticed whilst you were removing the rubber seals during the dismantling stage that they appeared to have had some sort of sealing solution applied to them when new. I was a little surprised to see that you didn`t bother to use some sealant during reassembly. I know that it`s unlikely to go back to sea on any vessel but even if you used it as an outside light at home, the extra weather protection would keep the water out of the lantern. Good job all the same.
Over the Top! Everone needs one of these! ...Newk from Kentucky
I would love to see some sort of timer so we can know just how long the whole procedure took.
at least 5 minutes

I’ve seen these all across antique stores marked as “Glass insulators”. However despite my many years of insulator collecting, I have never seen one on power lines.
And now I finally know what they are.
That's something different. But I have one question.. rest of the sub in part 2?
From the title I was thinking it was some “light” restoration on a nuclear submarine. 😂

I have watched far to many restoration vids thes last few weeks and paint stripper became my spirit animal
Good restoration of an old submarine light & would make a perfect chill light to hang in a room! 🙂🙂
I noticed one item that you reversed when reassembling. The two large ports on the top... when you removed the metal fitting, you then removed a metal washer and then the large rubber washer. When reassembling, you replaced the metal washer first, then the rubber washer. I don’t think it matters unless you plan to install it back on a submarine. 😉
Very cool restoration thought.
Love these vids. One day I'd love to attempt my own restoration project on some random piece of junk I'm just lacking the knowledge, tools, space, patience etc... ;)

soo well build...NO WONDER THOSE LIGHTS KEEP WORKING EVEN THE SHIP SANK FOR FEW HOURS
If have a metal housing (especially around water), you really want a 3 wire cable/plug that has an earth (green) wire. This wire gets screwed into the housing. That way if a wire gets loose and touches the housing, all the current will flow to the ground wire, and not to your hand.
You might also want to get some anti-seize grease for those screws so they don't seize up in the future (it also makes threading them in a LOT easier).
Great video though, I enjoyed it a lot! Wow those things were overbuilt for holding a bulb.
crazy how well those held up over the years
Nothing makes me more jealous than seeing this guy always has his 10mm socket. I have 10 socket wrench kits missing 10mm sockets😑

Oh yeah, baby, baby, baby!!! Get in real close and show the screwdriver going round that rubber seal soooo slow. Oooohhhhhh yeah! Nice.
Next time you have to drill out broken screws, use a left hand spiral drill bit and run the drill in reverse. Very often the screw will then unscrew during drilling.

Tomorrow: Restores an entire submarine.

Everyone is for real watching this right now at 2:30 am...10 minutes after it got uploaded because youtube said so..sounds about right
I'm watching it at 9:31 am right now because I live in Austria.
Officially subbed and let the binge watching begin.
Restoration requires a lot of hard work but end result is worth it
It looks exactly like a older style Railroad light. maybe early or late 80s, 90s. Really doubt its a Submarine light. might be boat light. lot of times people want to trick buyers into thinking what something Might really be. but Really isnt at all.
Some lovely close ups in this one, your video production quality goes from strength to strength
I believe the interior brass cap wasn't supposed to be painted, it very likely acted as a light reflection surface being located opposite the bulb. Looks like original paint was a shiny white, which is pretty good at reflecting.
This is a fantastic piece of history, great job.
For the stuck screws, tap the screwdriver with a hammer, or other mass on a stick, to help loosen them a bit before applying too much torque.
Those Soviet sailors were truly brave men, and a very nice restoration!
This man has reserved a place in heaven
Instead of grabbing the shafts of those long bolts with pliers and possibly scarring the metal, try using two nuts, jammed together on the other length of thread at the other end. Put the wrench on the nut closest to the bottom, using the top nut to lock it in place.

Nice restoration. Few observations: stranded wiring under screw = fire. Pls use ferrule. For the threads: worth using blue thread locker, keeps out the elements and the rust.
That would make a sick alarm clock
