Rare Pistol Lighter Restoration - IMCO 6900
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2021
- Restoration of rusty gun shaped pistol lighter. I will restore this cool looking cigarette pistol lighter and make it work again.
Huge thanks to W2M industries for always loaning me their laser cleaner, if you are interested in buying one you can contact them from: w2m.fi/?lang=en
ABOUT THE LIGHTER:
This lighter was manufactured by austrian manufacturer IMCO. It was made around the 1960's. The model of the lighter is 6900 "gunlite". This is not a firearm but the design is inspired by a small pistol. I bought this lighter from ebay for $10 which may seem a lot but these sell for much higher prices in good condition because they are very collectable and the company eventually stopped manufacturing lighter in 2012 and the brand was aquired by Japanese company Windmill.
ABOUT THE RESTORATION:
The disassembly is quite simple. Only the wheel and other parts held in place by the pin that goes through it need a little effort to remove. I used a precision drill to remove the pin. There is only one screw and the other parts just snap on in this great design.
I used a laser cleaning machine to remove the rust. It uses a high power laser to burn the rust, paint and other dirt off the surface without damaging the metal like many other methods. Only downside is these devices are more expensive than e.g. a sandblaster.
Next I polished the metal by sanding from 400 grits up to 2000 grits and polished it with metal polish compound. The polished metal was cleaned. The pieces were put into an acid activation bath for few minutes. This allows the metal to be plated in the plating solution. Next the parts were put into an electroless plating bath which plates the parts with nickel to protect them from rusting in the future. Electroless plating has number of advantages over electroplating which uses electricity to force the plating. These include more even plating even from inside of the parts. The downside it that it's more complicated and expensive method so it need much more understanding of the chemistry to have a robust plating system.
Also the handles were polished with plastic polishing compound. The lighter was then assembled and the drilled pin was replaced.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for watching!

I'm never gonna get over seeing him use the lazer cleaner. If you watched his channel years and years ago, everything was just so... simple. He didn't even have a setup for removing the yellowing from plastics back then(he used all sorts of things like peroxide baths to a sort of exerpimental peroxide gelatin) .
Shut up and enjoy the video instead of complaining like a tard

That laser cleaner is way too cool! I’m really interested in how it actually works now!
It literally burns off the rust. Since the shiny iron underneath reflects light while the rust absorbs lights the underlying metal is left unharmed.
@@edwinsalisbury83 Damn, thats pretty metal. Seriously though, thats actually really neat.

@@o1syt Dude stfu before i call beavis and butthead
I’ve never seen something so cool on a channel like this as the laser cleaner.
Anybody else find the sound of that laser to be relaxing? No,just me? Lol Awesome video and that lighter is sick! I like it! 😁
If I were super rich I'd buy one of those lasers just for fun. Like, I'd send my butler out to buy rusty things from thrift stores and then laser them clean just for the fun of it.
That is a fantastic idea.
It's like those powerwasher videos or carpet cleaning channels, only yours would ultimately be cooler since...lasers. Duh.
If I had one , I would go nuts cleaning rust off of anything I could get ahold of.
(I got a truck that could use it . . . Problem is there may not be much left after all that rust gets buzzed off.)
(A thought . . . I wonder if somebody could use that nickel plating technique in the video to plate the undersides of vehicles?)
Dogecoin rich?
@@shaqwiththecombo Lol, I wish. . . .

Okay so LASER CLEANING makes the list of the most satisfying things I've ever SEEN like WOW!
Them laser is absolutetly brilliant, and so is your work ! Love your vids since the beginning, the professionalism, the precision and the talent you have are immeasurable, and the jokes in the vids always strinke. Congrats chap, you achieved something great

Oh man. That laser cleaner is man's greatest invention
This lighter is immediately designated as IMCO! Thanks for your work!
Watching the laser take off rust is so satisfying
I'm really liking the slightly different format of this video, the panning shots and different location are cool
I am appreciative of the new camera work/rig.
The Laser cleaning part is literally like magic just zipp and the rust is gone
laser rust removal is now my favorite ASMR

Wow, I'm impressed with the laser work. How many watts does your laser have? Thank you
The one I use is 60w so it's in the low end of these cleaning machines
@@OddTinkering I was expecting something in the range of at least a hundred since mine is around the same and is only a measly etching device

Know what I like about this channel? Honest rust! That lighter didn't get buried in salt for a month before he restored it.
I was wondering how you'd clean the rust without dissolving half the lighter in the process. Was really satisfying to watch that laser cleaner remove that rust. Great job man, you've got a sub from me

The “quack” made me laugh so hard. I noticed you didn’t show us when you cleaned the white part- I kind of missed it!! But it was still amazing through and through.
Oh no!!! Please don't hurt the Ducktor 😱😖😭 can't wait to see the lantern 😍
That laser Is freaking awesome AND terryfying.
Me: No way he can restore this
Odd Tinkering: Hold my tools
No rust remover or electricity for nickle plating. Very interesting seeing other methods of doing these things! Awesome work! That laser is so awesome too 😅
08:35 "I'll *dilute some sulphuric acid* to about 10% to make an activator" (And so, guess up what sulphuric acid's being used for?)
