Restoration and Repair of an old German Compass. The most Beautiful compass STAND.
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2022
- I found this old German compass at a flea market. There were no identification marks on it, only one inscription in German: "VEB Geräte- und Reglerwerke Teltow" I could not determine the year of its release, if you know, write me about it in the comments.
The compass was outwardly in fairly good condition, although rather dirty, with various stains. Several brass screws were missing, the compass fluid was missing, and the compass itself was misaligned. I don't really like the Bakelite look of such an interesting thing, so I decided to repaint it. Pre-cleaned the entire surface with fine sandpaper, and then degreased. Painted in three layers with drying.
I also made a stand for the compass, with the possibility of free swing.
The most difficult stage of the repair, for me, is filling the compass with liquid. The outlet is very small, and the displaced air greatly interfered with pouring liquid into the case. I poured an alcohol solution into the compass so that it would not freeze. It took quite a while, especially to get rid of all the tiny bubbles.
But I still really enjoyed working with this interesting thing, and I also liked my compass stand, now it sits very nicely on the shelf with the rest of my finished projects
Take care and see you next week. Sincerely, Max.

You restorations are beautiful but your sense of humor and sarcasm are top notch 😅😅😅😂😂. I love it
Overall, very well done, though the inside of the compass should of been black, so that the dial could be seen easier in the dark, with no light reflection at night.
'VEB Geräte- und Reglerwerke Teltow' is indeed the identification of the manufacturing plant. 'Teltow' is the actual place of the factory, located on the outskirts of Berlin. 'VEB' means 'Volkseigener Betrieb' roughly translating to 'State owned business/company/firm'. What it means is, that it was made before the reunification of Germany in 1990 in east Germany (GDR / DDR).
It is an analogue pilot boat compass. It would have been integrated into a navigation post on the bridge of any decent mid size boat. The ones I know of were attached to a cylindrical housing about waist-high and in such a way that it could spin / rotate on all free axis. These were mass produced and exported or used by other Soviet aligned states.
It is a nice piece you got there and it turned out well. Good work!
Greetings from Germany.
Yep. And that also means anything with "Made in West Germany" printed on it is at least 32 years old. Like some of the parts on my ancient BMW motorcycle.
Was it military? I only ask because it''s rather nice brass work, and I know from my father that brass work was painted over on ships in wartime. Saved him a lot of polishing.
I’m sure you already know this but the reason it was black was to reduce the reflection and make it easier to see when you’re actually on a boat
Разобрать и покрасить..вау. Ожидал большего от вас👍🏻
@@user-rq5nr8ny5x посмотрите канал моя механика(на английском) и оцените его подход к реставрации чего бы то не было.. данное видео нельзя назвать реставрацией
@@user-zg9ht7xu6j my thoughts Exactly. His attention to detail is much more.
Excellent job! I personally love old compasses. I have all kinds of them. They still fascinate me from the simplest to the advanced.
Slecht en veel te ruw herstelwerk. Dit had veel mooier en netter afgewerkt kunnen worden. Jammer
This is a amazing naval/maritime Compass.
The two axis allows the compass to stay stabilized even in houghest seas.
Congratulations for the job, its awesome!!!
Interesting!
The compass looks amazing.
Nicely done ✅
That compass turned out super!
Boa tarde, linda a idéia. Parabéns trabalho finalizando e bonito 👏
Looks amazing with those new colors
Sandblasting is the most satisfying when I watch these
It looks great! I think the original flat black components where to make the white dial stand out with minimal light source during night operation and to minimizing glass glare. Narragansett Bay
Dirty work. The internal perfectionist of mine is crying.
Looks great, well done.👍
Beautiful! And the lathe is awesome!
beautiful restoration project 🌠💞
Very nicely done!
Wow, old fashioned compass .thanks for sharing technical vlog. Gift
Very nice DDR historic compass! Good quality!
Поздравляю, ты снова вернул рекомендации)
Спасибо!!! Для этого пришлось взять в жены дочь директора Ютуба😂😂😂
Great talent you have and amazing! Like to watch. Good luck 😸🤞
Superb work! Love the new stand 👏
👍👍👍
Nicely done!
I like the way you built the rest of the gimbal for the compass.
For use on a vessel, you want the housing to be black inside.
The diaphragm in the bottom is designed to move with expansion of the missing compass fluid.
That’s why there is an “O” ring seal, as well as a washer under the knurled nut.
You can make DIY fluid using a mixture of mineral spirits and liquid paraffin lamp oil.
50:50 ratio is probably fine.
Thanks for sharing👍
Thank you for watching and for leaving a detailed comment. it was interesting to read.
اليس السائل هو الزئبق ؟
كنت اظنه الزئبق ..لا اعرف يقينا..
Awesome job you did restoring that compass. It looks like a ship compass because of the balance on the pivot screws. Great work.
Outstanding! I have a lifeboat compass made during WWII by Lionel (Yes, the model RR company) that could stand refurbishment.
Amazing skill
Very well done and quite creative with the new stand
great idea of using gyroscopic method for this navigation compass!
👍👍👍
Very cool device and nice restoration.
Oggetto bellissimo! Complimenti per il lavoro di restauro!
Grazie per la visione e per il tuo supporto!
Amazing project. Nice to ser the channel grow! Very nice restorations.
Molto bella! Bravoo!
Very nice. Thanks for the video..
That stand really put it all together. Nice work.
Very nice work…well done…
wow good restore👍👍
Outstanding…
Very cool
The case of a compass is never bright and shiny. It needs a contrast to the compass disk so that it can be read at night. Nice work vor the stand .
When you showed what liquid you were putting it, I had to goggle it. I was raised on the water and was my understanding it was just mineral spirits. And not surprised I was wrong LOL But have never heard of water with it but understand after reading why. But my dad and others I knew always said only mineral spirits.
Great restoration and an excellent job building the base!!!
Enjoyed your video and Thumbs Up
Thanks for sharing video.
Wonderful job. Congratulations from Brazil.
😁😁😁
c'est un compas marine that's a nice one good job
ps : boussole is the pocket size mostly used on land thanks for sharing : )
Excellent!
Thanks!!!
Very well. Nice details on the video 👍
Thanks for watching and supporting!!!
Looks like a ship’s compass to me too. Sailed enough boats to recognise a marine compass.
Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера.
Благодарю 😉
Excelente 👏
🤗🤗🤗
Nice restoration, great job on the base ! Very cool !
Спасибо за труды !! Такую вещь восстановили 👍👍👍
The 66/2996 probably means that is the 66th compass out of 2996 manufactured.
I came up with the same idea
It is more likely, but not certain, that it means 2996th unit of 1966. Usually, but of course not always, east German serial numbers were structured like that.
Прекрасно!
👍👍👍
Пора за сокровищами!))
Looks great but was curious after seeing you cleaning the counter and seeing the aerosolized dust if it was lead, also was any of the parts coated with iridium or any other radioactive material to make it glow?
muito bom so acho que deveria ter usado oleo lineral em lugar da agua
Top marks... another awesome restoration.
Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to sand with the grain?
You didn find same screws?
Muy bonita y buen trabajo.
¡Gracias por el apoyo!
I have a compass from a liberty ship. I need to restore it, but I was told it uses mineral oil. How do you know which to use?
.... I resucitó. Muy buena Restauración saludos desde Barcelona Catalonia

😒...si
The counterweight is actually a component of the Gimbal. It allowed the compass itself to stay steady despite the ships movement, so navigation would be accurate even on storm tossed seas. Erm... I'm a geek! 🙃
My uncle filled his with vodka. If his boat went down, he could get drunk on the way down.
Шедеврально! Великолепный прибор и, что весьма немаловажно, грамотная отличная реставрация!
Спасибо за поддержку! Как раз сегодня, выйдет новое видео на канале, буду благодарен если посмотрите!
Aiding and abetting the enemy by repairing their compass? I see where this is going. Your shelf of finished projects!
I am from India 🇮🇳 and i subscribed.wish all the best for future projects.i hope you will reach 1M subscribers soon
Сударь, Вам бы счетчик гейгера, для таких игрушек...
to się podoba bez rękawic czysta robota
These ship compasses were the FIRST GIMBALS WAY WAY before gimbals were even a THING!!!!
Your finished product looks nice. If you heard screaming from across the planet it was me when you took sand paper to the brass parts and a wire wheel to the lead part...
Super praca 🙂🙂👍👍
На радиацию перед разборкой проверил?
Ага, со старыми приборами нередко шли шкалы с СПД
superbe boussole, très belle restauration !!!!👍👍
5:40. In no export, but I was disappointed you didn't try to remove the debts and scratches in the 3 pieces BEFORE painting them. The compass still looks good in the end, but I think it would've looked a bit better if you sanded the dents out. Just my opinion. Great video.
Bravo!
🤗🤗🤗
The bellows allows for atmospheric pressure change.
Отличная работа чувак.
There is room for improvement! A little tip by the way - perfect restoration can be found at "my mechanics".
4:03 Раз есть сильфон, значит компас был заполнен жидкостью. Сильфон - это дорго богато - обычно просто резиновая мембрана на тех, что подешевле. Компенсирует расширение/сжатие жидкости при разных температурах. Жидкость предотвращает вибрацию и дрожание указателя и делает его вращение плавным.
show. parabéns
Ich hätte anstelle weiß das Gehäuse in schwarz lackiert. Oder es einfach im originalen Bakelit-Look gelassen. Und anstelle deiner Wasser/Alkohollösung verwendet man Öl. Friert auch nicht und der Kompass beruhigt sich schneller, weil das Öl dickflüssiger ist.
Super tare.
That turns out nice! For the base you could have used some better wood!
1:23 heavy as lead, 5:23 soft as lead, probably toxic as lead, because it is lead.
Magnetic compasses do not use lead, at least not those I am familiar with. My guess is that the ring is made of steel and is adjustable so the compass deviation can be adjusted. If you think of the big steel balls on a binacle compass. Another indication it isn't lead is that it could be sanded. My guess is lead would clog the sandpaper.
... Parabéns ...
Aawweessoommee!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰🥰💓💓💕💞💛💛💗💗😍😍💖💖❤️
Beautiful work!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Désolé, je vais être critique, je ne critique pas le travail effectué mais pour moi cette vidéo c'est juste une remise en état avec un coup de peinture cache misère. Dommage cette boussole a le potentiel pour une très belle restauration.
cara!
fiquei muito triste pq vc não lixou e não poliu nada...
apesar do belo trabalho, queria tanto ver essas pecas de latão/bronze com um polimento...
---------
man!
I was very sad because you didn't sand and polish anything...
despite the beautiful work, I really wanted to see these brass/bronze pieces with a polish...
Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤
🤗🤗🤗
Хотел похаять за методы обработки, но результат понравился, так что лайк!
Nice. Right to the point and not over-embellished like some other restoration channels.
👍👍👍

Would love to have that as a paper weight.
Какого он года выпуска? Возможно в нём использована радиоактивная краска.
Use Mousu black on the inside next time.
