Beautiful Restoration. It's nice to see a restorer who is willing to take the extra steps and pay attention to the small details, to make what he's restoring the very best it can be. Well done.
That was very pleasing to watch you restore that old parking meter . I remember too many times back in the day using one and putting coin into them. I sure do miss those meters and those days . Thank you for your showing and skill .
Wow ! Amazing Job. I always wondered how many items there was in one of these . Now I know it takes a lot of steps to clean an repair these parking meters. Thank you for sharing all this that was cool. Take care of you and yours. ❤️ ❤️
They're bad once you figure out how they work. What you didn't see in the video was hours of me assembling and disassembling because I put something on wrong or left out a part
This turned out nice 🙂 I personally have repainted them myself a handful of times when I collected them and they are surprisingly heavy duty and heavy lol, they are made of a magnesium aluminum alloy and are difficult to spray paint when taken down to bare metal, this guy definitely did a better job than I personally have in any of mine that I had in the past, but I admire his attention to details that I personally overlooked on the ones I worked on, GREAT JOB RESTO MAN 😎
Whenever you punch rivets out from behind on name plates, put a piece of hard polistirene (the pink one) under. The rivets will sink the foam, but the name plate won't deform or bend and will remain undamaged.
It was easier to find the decals and I liked the color difference better. I left that off, the one that I had was in really bad shape and couldn't find a replacement
Good looking restoration! There's a lot of people that like things like this as décor Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up for the support of your channel
Another one of your Better Than New restorations! Wow, that thing has a lot of parts! Where the heck do you find parts for it? Well done, my man! All you nee now is a ticket book and some suckers...
🤨⚠️ - that suction hole in your spray booth looks a bit too small to extract all of the powder ~ I could see some of it wafting out the sides, you need the size of a box fan with a furnace HEPA filter strapped to the back of it to get all of the powder dust 😉
I actually cleaned the whole inside. Might be hard to see on camera but I removed a lot of dirt and grime. I didn't want to pull apart the timing mechanism and damage it. The letters were just decals
Install it on your driveway. Charge 'em for blocking you in. Or charge your kid for Playstation time. Tell him he doesn't get the pocket money back until he's done his homework!

Interesting refurbishing project. Never seen the insides of a parking timer meter before... Thanks for posting it. Thumbs Up!
Awesome job you did restoring that old parking meter it working order. It looks much better too. Great work.
Thanks 👍

Nice! I would have liked to have seen what you did to restore the glass/plexiglass.
Those can be bought off eBay, probably what he did

@@restorerestoration4705 he even told someone else he bought the lens off eBay 🤔🤔🤔

Perfect restoration.....
Everytime I see one of these, all I can think of is the scene in "Cool Hand Luke" where he cuts a whole mess load off their poles.
What we have here is a failure to communicate! One of Paul Newman’s best in my opinion.
Have one just like in the movie
Now I need my own laser etching machine! 🙂
I'm in love with mine
No kidding! That's the coolest thing since Betty White!
Awesome job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Verry nice..

Quality job, well done.👍👍👍
1960's parking meter? Astounding how well preserved it is! Back then they knew how to do robust things. Not like nowadays :(
I mean, maybe it was robust for a good reason...
❤maravilha ❤
Your in violation!!! LOL Great work 👏 👍!!
Very nice!
Awesome Awesome Video 👍👍 😀
The stand is a great idea. Great for the bedroom for jokes with the wife that she has only what’s on the clock 😂
SHOW!
AMAZING JOB!
Amazing Job~! Very Goooooood~~~~~~~~~~~~~!
Great job!
Old is gold🌹❤️

Good tip!
Polystyrene. ...
Is there a reason you changed the colors on the violation sign and the expired sign? Where did the police sign go?
It was easier to find the decals and I liked the color difference better. I left that off, the one that I had was in really bad shape and couldn't find a replacement
@@joe_diy thank you so much for the reply
So the Police MIGHT turn the meter🙂
Thanks for not using unnecessary lubricant!
Too many times it's used when not needed.
Nice! I would have liked to have seen what you did to restore the glass/plexiglass. Or did you replace i?
I cheated and bought a new one
I need the glass. Where did you find youres?
@@gregwright392 ebay, ton of parts on there for these
I wonder if that is one of the ones cool hand Luke cut down with a pipe wrench.
I really like your video work, bro. Though there are some details you don't show. But you made it very smooth. Nice job buddy🍻🍻

Excellent work my friend but i sugested the nickel parts are clean ando bath the rest 👍🏻🇻🇪❤️ Say hello from Venezuela
Great job! I'm working on one myself and I love the laser engraved parts. Can you make them available?
En mi país todavía se usan estos viejos aparatos
At 26:24 I felt my life ticking away
Great restoration, could you please tell me what size pipe you used & what type of pipe it is ? Thank you
Thanks a lot
It was beautiful and joyful watching it
But it would be better if we could learn more for example how you polished the window?
thanks
Beautiful powder coat work! Did you clean that glass, or replace it? If you cleaned it, I would have liked to see it. Thanks for the video.
same for me :)
Use it as a kitchen timer. ⏳
25:48 Oh, good. Going traditional. :)
Another one of your Better Than New restorations! Wow, that thing has a lot of parts! Where the heck do you find parts for it? Well done, my man! All you nee now is a ticket book and some suckers...
They made so many of the things that they're actually easy to get parts for. Now, figuring out the clock mechanism is another story...
I didn’t see you refurbish the Perspex, did you just get a replacement?
Yes, cheated and bought a new one. The original was way too far gone
What type of paint setup is that? Mind adding details, either here or in the description? Results are super smooth.
Powdercoating. All prismatic powders. I did a primer, gold base, and a clear coat
I have a parking meter I would love to get restored but I can’t seem to find someone to do it. Any recommendations?
Did you refurbish the timer mechanism off camera? Or was it in good shape?
Just cleaned it
Do the police now turn the handle?
It doesn't say they can't anymore!
Print yourself up some tickets and put it at the end of your driveway LOL
What happen to the "Police will not turn handle tag? It was removed but not replaced???
wondering why you never added police will not turn knob back on under the glass?
I always thought that it be nice and decorative, if a parking meter was fixed up and repurposed as a coin bank.
Do know when the yellow violation flag comes instead of the red time expired one?
What happen to the small sign that read "POLICE WILL NOT TURN HANDLE"?
I didn't have a decent one on hand and couldn't find a replacement
12 minutes for a penny!!
Somebody's gotta go back and get a schydtload a' dimes...
What a classic!

Yeah it's not very effective. I'm going to rebuild it next year with a combination of box fans and filters in front of a vacuum chamber
How are you so fearless about everything and put the dirty clock works back in untouched? Also how did you get the words on the flags?

I could watch an entire video of just sandblasting
These things were such ripoffs... no matter how many coins I put in, I never got a gumball.
Ha! This is gold!
Dear sir,
you forgot to put the black strip,
( police will not turn the handle )
Check the video.
Привет ребята
I think I'm old enough to have seen them but growing up we never went into the city
