All of your videos are very entertaining. I especially like all of your video work with NO voice over and/or background "music". I like the precision of watch restoration. From your tool use in this video, I'm guessing that you didn't start as a watch restorer. Thanks for your great content providing.
Very well done. I think even Tysy Tube, Rescue & Restore, My Mechanics, and Odd Tinkering would be impressed with how thorough you were with this restoration.
I would LOVE one of these machines. But not only are they not that common, but when available total wrecks fetch silly money. Great job on the restoration. I'm very envious.

Excellent work! So many different processes and steps required, and you seem adept at all of them! The ONLY thing I didn't like about the final product was....those two un-restrained white wires running from the system to the basket holder. Seems like they could get hung up, or pulled. Understand they need to be flexible to allow things to work....but maybe if they were surrounded by a mesh wire wrap? Just a thought.
That bothered me too. It was that way on the original, but may as well make improvements when you can. I am a retired manufacturing engineer for military electronics. I have several ideas for that "fix".
I had the idea of running them up through the shaft the assembly swivels around but I haven't thought if that'd work so I wouldn't give much substance to this "idea" of mine here.
@@ECS-Dad However, the wires you see in the video are not the original ones that came with the machine. When new, the machine had a black, rubber-insolated cable that contained (and protected) the two wires. However, due to the mechanical stress, they had to be replaced sometimes and in the case shown here in a "sub-optimal" way.
Craftsmen who restore their subjects are all well and good, but show me a person who takes proper care of their tools, and I know they're the real deal :)
I was one of the first people to comment that you need to restore that cleaning machine. I don't think I like the bright blue color choice, but I'm glad you finally gave it some love.
Estaba esperando este video hace tiempo, es impresionante el nivel de atención a los detalles. Cada restauración, aunque no se trate de relojes, es perfecta. Mis sinceros respetos por el gran trabajo
Great attention to detail, and very nice result. One nit, I think I would have twisted the motor wires into a tight spiral to keep things neat. I found it funny to contrast the screwdrivers normally seen on this channel with the "garage specials" used in this one. :)
Comment before I finish the video: Good for you for restoring this beauty, but I'm almost sorry. I appreciated it's maturity and patina...but it deserves the love you're giving it. Really enjoy all the videos. Thanks.
Been gone for a bit and look what popped on my You Tube page. I'm like I remember that machine. Lets check this out. Just WOW! What a amazing restoration. I love the new colors absolutely stunning. I'm sure glad I tuned in. It was worth the smile. Oh I think Elma should really consider sponsoring you. Yep! Alrighty. Take care from Canada eh!

this guy captures the moment in slow motion cleaning a fantastic video sadly you never used the same colour to the original but i can see why as it sits with the rest of the Elma machines ,i was not endorsed to say them words .
This person has access to all the equipment including a full spray booth to respray the parts. Quite a bit more gear than the weekend handyman for sure😅
Great job! Your video production is as interesting as your work is “quality”! I wish you were my neighbor. I have a million watches that need a service and no one to do them.
Nicely Done. I have one and had it shipped from the UK. It took a bit of cleaning and a new Power supply (we only have 110VAC here in the US). Does a great job. :)
WOW what a restortation love it..... HOWEVER, I cant believe after all that work you didnt re-acrylic the timer pointer!! You did the speed control knob but not the one on the timer.. Arrrrgh the OCD in me is now only looking at that :)
Hi, great job! I have one suggestion about new basket, old one have 3 plow on top which push cleaning fluid down inside , new one (blue) doesn’t. In my opinion it will work worse now because fluid will create a vortex and nothing will push it inside. New Elma cleaning machines (from probably You took new basket) working with low rpm and use ultrasonic, so then this plows are not necessary.
Awesome video. TBH Elma was always one of my favorite aspects of your videos. I loved the vintage look, but totally dig the new update as well. Very well done. 👍🏽
@@brunomessens8406 Then you're sitting on a fortune 💎. These machines are quite worth something, especially if the jars and the basket holder with inserts are still present.
Great video, loved watching the process. One thing to take into consideration on the connectors for the heating plate at 15:51 , they should be the other way round so that the sockets/female connectors are on the supply/live side and not on the load/heater side. You always plug into a supply/live line. Keep the great videos comming
Are you sure you're not getting paid by Elma? Hey, Elma. Pay this man!!!
Haha 😁

that elma is so pretty
😂😂
@@RedDeadRestoration How long did it take you to complete this restoration?
OMG I loved that creme color. It was the color of its era. i wish i could unsee that :(
Dude went f'n NUCLEAR with the acetone! As a chemist...LOVE IT! ...GREAT VID...THANKS!
Elma got a spa treatment, and make over. Girl you look fantastic!!!!!!
Moin, wenn ELMA so eine hohe Qualität herstellt müssten die doch schon Pleite sein, weil keiner mehr was Neues braucht.
Klasse Video, danke!
Could be one of the coolest restorations you've ever done
I love seeing paint used instead of just slathering on super-thick powder coat, as some "restorers" do.
It's hard to sleep without your videos
When machines were made of solid materials and quality workmanship good job.
This machine must be worth a fortune itself. Quality item right there, like a good timekeeper.

Splendid! Elma owes you a massive sponsorship!!
Loved the color of the restored cleaning machine. Waiting for a new one of a watch using this
Fan..bloody..tastic.!!!!! You must have the patience of a Saint. Seriously, great stuff.

Seriously, the man is an artist!
Amazing job. I preferred the original cream colour but also love the new blue.
"Made in Germany" on the dial ... got a kick out of that. German thoroughness and attention to detail - beautiful. Liked the socks too :)
Shows that if you can restore a watch you can restore most anything. Great job!
They ought to pay you for that advert. This machine looks better than new now - you really went to town on that restoration.
Acetone and sandblasting ... Perfect combination 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
An iconic piece of machinery with new clothes!
I really dig the little media blaster (10:10). Can't say I've ever seen one that small.
Very well done. I think even Tysy Tube, Rescue & Restore, My Mechanics, and Odd Tinkering would be impressed with how thorough you were with this restoration.
Wu wuuu wut??? U follow all of them too??.. that makes us friends immediately!!
I’m absolutely agree, this is a first class restoration.
I doubled it. There is also LADB Restoration, though my mechanics is still unbeatable leader here :p
There are also “not terrible restoration” in my playlist
I think everyone follows these channels. We all love a good restoration.
Yeaaaaa finally.. I always wanted to see restored
I don't think it got this much love when it was built the first time. Very nice I really like the new color.thanks for sharing 👍.
I love to watch your consistently meticulous work. Facinating and thanks for sharing this.
Long awaited. Thanks for pleasing such nerds like me
Isto não é um vídeo. É um presente de natal antecipado! Fantástico!!
I like this new color the most
Looking at your usual restorations, this seems like the overhaul of a transatlantic ship!
LOL - True.
German technology defies the passage of time. An amazing work of restoration my friend
I would LOVE one of these machines. But not only are they not that common, but when available total wrecks fetch silly money. Great job on the restoration. I'm very envious.
Awesome. Great job. I'd love to do that to my old Zenith It needs some TLC.
Lol, i'm glad that you actually restored this machine. Elma deserved it! :)

As always a joy to watch your videos Herr Uhrmachermeister...
Nice job, I really liked the antique yellow colour though.
Yeah, this guy knows what he's doing, but I prefer the original color. His money, his time, his choice. This will have to grow on me.
Finally you restored your cleaning machine. Good job!
The cobalt blue is gorgeous, but I preferred pale yellow.
Fantastic restoration, best yet. And it is about damn time for a proper watch cleaning machine! I like how you made it your own with the color.
Finally you did it. I thought about it every episode 😁👍

THIS is how a professional at work looks like, amazing level of detail and knowledge of every working aspect of the machine.

Wow, you truly are a master in restoring old things. Looks like new. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work 🙂
Oh my lord,more watch restoration pls,i watch you vedios 50 times!!!❤
Must have been funny restoring something with parts that aren't microscopic. Great job.
Great job! Your video production is as interesting as your work is “quality”! I wish you were my neighbor. I have a million watches that need a service and no one to do them.
Amazing restoration even if I preferred the original color, but Elma's blue didn't leave you any choice.
Same
I love blue, generally, but that machine looked better in that ivory/white
That's wonderful! I always hate to see these fine old machines looking terrible.
Perfect restoration
