It does look better without it..
I noticed you forgot it... LMAO. Great job, anyway!!
@@airwolf28 I would keep the red plastic on, just to keep the lamp as original as possible. I also like more the original bulb, the others have a blueish color. Nice restoration.
Petrica HPV nu
Man, one question, the bulb (I mean the glass you put over the light source) is that opaque from start or is because it's old? Can you remove the opacity?
How all those colours match together, the yellow, the white glass, the polished brass and steel... Just one word: beautiful!
Hello senpai
Yeah, looks fantastic. You'd somehow manage to do better though.
A comment by the king of polishing! How brilliant you watch the others videos and comment :) That feels like a nice place to be.
my mechanics, it looks great hey ! The yellow was really nice
looking for this
you forgot the red filter element.
the bulb with the two vertical boards at 90 degrees from each other seemed to the best fit for the application.
James Axelrad He does good work at restore. Some things he restore has a lot of parts to them. I would forget about a part to.😊
@@gregallsmagic a lot of parts here? It's just two screws and a light bulb! The work done is really nice , he's really good at it. Personally , i would have re-used the original bulb with the filter like james has said. It's a vintage lamp , the led makes no sense. and that switch with hot glue isn't going to last so much. what a pity. His skill is awesome.
James Axelrad yeah
Bcz he used led tube not an bulb ok
@@fausto3118 it isn't hot glue dude... He welded it
Who is so rude and ignorant to thumbs down this wonderful awesome talented gentleman!!! Fantastic work my friend. Thoroughly enjoy your resto vids. Thank you!!!
YES!! I've been wishing for a professional pinstriper for all of these folks restoring and painting magnificent antiques because the lettering doesn't stand up to the rest of their work. My thoughts were to scratch off the paint and let the underlying restored metal shine through-just as you have done here! Awesome work!
😻
Love it! Old lamps are usually really neat looking.
I can tell you like those from the fancy lighting in your intro. To be fair tho, thats a pretty fancy light you got there.
One of the reasons that you and my mechanics are my favorite restorers is that you don't use fast forward. A bit here and there is ok, but it's much more relaxing to watch you move at normal speed, but just a bit of each step. Fast forward is more jarring and hard to follow sometimes. We don't need to see them unscrew all 6 screws, for example. I'd much rather watch one screw undone at normal speed and then jump ahead to the next stage. Keep up the amazing work all around!
I know I'm pretty late here but totally agree
I have nothing against the stickers, but place them underneath the restored piece.And the second lamp got better, in my opinion. Nice job , as usual .
Personally dont like the idea of placing a sticker on it.....
Eduardo Santos I mean..it’s not yours though. I personally like the stickers. It’s unique and I think they look like more of a modern stamp. There definitely better than the usual “sticker” the gloss and multicolor looks modern yet unique and stylish.
@@Voscilate Well you have your opinion and they have theirs.
Kevin Vu yes that’s the point in us discussing this right? Lol
@@Voscilate well what's the point of just saying "its not yours though"?
It's a video about restoring. The sticker doesnt add any restorative value. Now does it?
Only the original lamp! Even a warm white LED is nowhere near the incandescent color.
I second that. Incandescent all the way.
LED just looks wrong in this type of application.
@@dancoulson6579 Agreed, while I prefer LED for its higher lumens, this is too classy to have modern tech for a bulb.
Hey it's DGW in the house!!!!! You're amazing!!!!! One of my favourite TH-camrs. Hope you're well my friend. Watching with your fire extinguisher ready!
There are really good LEDs with the right luminosity, although they’re smaller than the normal bulb and don’t have the same visible filaments.
Better with the old bulb
I like the Vintage Railroad 🛤 🪔 Lamps , especially the ones that you could see in the dark about a mile away !! You got to have special tools 🛠⚒🛠🧰🧰🔩⚙️⚙️🔨🔨🧰🧰🧰🧰⚖️🛠⚖️🔧🔧🔧 to do this kind of restoration work !!
Thank you 🙏 !!
To me, all these projects look like lost causes at the start. So rusted, worn and abused, it couldn’t possibly be salvaged, let alone restored. And yet, every time, you work some kind of magic!
I am sure you will never get old, since by now you must have figured out how to live forever. Stay blessed n keep things young as dey deserve to be. Amen 🙏
Sticker on the bottom, please. In my opinion, it ruins the look of the antique you are restoring. Also, would love to see the red plastic back inside the dome. Nice job, as always. I very much enjoy watching your videos. For some reason, they are very relaxing to me.
It is not restored if it does not have a sticker on every side.
Yes, totally agree, stikers should not be there
I think it's fine for him to put a sticker on the side. He is restoring the item, after all, usually to a condition better than it was historically. Not every antique has to look like it was salvaged from the garbage.
The sticker totally ruined the whole project... it doesn't fit at all with the idea of resoration.
If the sticker MUST go on then put it on the bottom instead of totally ruining the lamp!
Not only is it his choice but I have to believe that this helps (and background logo too) when the video is shared on other social media when credit isn't given.
Gotta love that 50 year old bulb! I like the smaller led bulb though. And for the love of God, put the red half filter back in! I watched the whole video just for that and it never happened!
The small LED bulbs are the best. Shines bright less energy. Awesome results 👍👏👏👏
love your "show me dont tell me style" ... it so relaxing to just to see whats happening instead of being rambled to
Exactly.
This guy can fix anything. Coming soon: Titanic Restoration 😉
with a ton of stickers on it
Imagine if they did do that though
It would be awesome!
Take years though
Maybe even decades
@@vincenttrigg4521 Some billionaire is already working on building a 100% accurate full size replica. Google Titanic II. (As in ship #2, not a movie #2)
It will barely be 80% accurate. From far away the real Titanic and T2 may look alike, but up close the differences are huge and numerous. I'd say, it's about 50% identical to the real one.
yep a lantern is as complex as a gigantic ship
I think the little LED seems best suited to this lantern. Another vintage masterpiece back from the dead! *epic triumphant orchestra score plays*
Unpopular opinion: Metal clanking and scrapping against each other is super stasfying to me and I'd rather listen to this then any other form of ASMR
Watching restorations like these always "brightens" my day
these videos always *brightens* my night
Small LED was the best. What happened to the red lens?
Same opinion for the small led. The light is really great instead of the big led who only lights up the top of the plastic part.
I think the red lens would've brought out the age of the lamp and I personally like the red lens and the regular light bulb. Classic is always in style
He could have used a led with a lower K, 2200-2500K would probable give the same light as the old one, I guess the current led is between 3000-4000K.
I agree. And yes, what happened to that red part?
@@dennissvensson6051 more like 5000-6000k, but agreed less would be better in this case. this lamp need a warm white.
Original bulb looked best to me. Loved the color you chose too. Excellent project. Take care.
Watching broken stuffs restored to their former beauty, it is very relaxing and educational too to watch. Nice one tysy tube i hope you can find more broken stuff to restore 😁😁😁.
I agree with you, this is very relaxing to watch, I don't why. I love this channel. 👍🙂
This is the best restoration job I have ever seen on TH-cam
Idk why your videos with no dialog at all can keep my attention better than most tv shows with dozens of writers but I love it and youtube for recommending this channel to me
thank you so much for watching 😊, new video today
I have never thought of using a lighter like that if you have no heat gun lol. I love the way you work. If you don’t have it, improvise. Meticulous work! Love the video.
I thought that's what you needed to use
What a great job mate really loved this restoration top work.
I like the middle size bulb. Why did you leave out the red filter?
raku daku the exit is over there sir, this is christian only (ok no but delete this comment, its weird and not funny)
Truly incredible skill. The world needs more people like you. Top job!
The way the paint comes off after applying the paint stripper looks so satisfying...
I love watching you work. Thank you for allowing us to see you do your amazing work!
Amazing work, but watching you put those stickers on hurt a little. It’s like putting a bumper sticker on a car with an awesome new paint job. Maybe just the bottom next time? Anyway, awesome job as always.
Wow! Nice restoration. I was wondering what about the red lens? I would have preferred the battery glued under the top part and might have a small USB charge port too. Maybe added a small rubber seal between the top and bottom. This lamp would be an excellent camping or sailing lamp with extra storage in the box below. Hope to see more. Thank you. Great work.
I am really impressed. Man that is what I call restoration. Shinny
Nobody does this kid of work like you do! Amazing 🤩
Very nicely done. I preferred the third light, the small cob array. Cheers!
Yeah. Lights up the glass better than the others. I kinda hoped for an original battery and no conversion from old to new. But maybe those batteries aren't produced anymore.
Removing the paint off the letters must have been hard, but the result was great.
I wanted to know what happened to the red plastic lens too! A nice job though.
I was thinking the same.
He sat on it
check my instagram
@@TysyTube For some reason, I cannot find you on Instagram (@tystuberestoration).
Severity One I think you missed one “y”
Yes yes yes, LED bulbs are so cool. No other restorer did this, but you. So cool.
That yellow color you used to paint it looks beautiful. I think this is your best project yet!
thank you so much 😊
Автору этого видео респект👍эта лампа с новья так не выглядела,наверно...super
I like the small LED light, it seems to put out more light and looks similar in shape to the original. I'm not a stickler for originally, just looked cool. Great job by the way!!!
Im addicted to this channel. Man this is fun to watch. Great video's
That's great. I appreciate your ability to restore. The gloss in the paint is great. I'm learning well.
Such a nice yellow color, very soothing 😍
The red 😔 did it break? Did you lose it? I enjoy watching you work! You’re amazing!!!
He mentioned in a comment he just forgot to put it back on, there's a pic of it with the plastic on his Instagram
Illuminaughty oh I didn’t know that
You didn’t put back the red part from the light
Yeh he didn't... Would be good for light focus... Why didn't he do it
@@lesle1631
Not a light focus (whatever that is).
Not to focus light, to make half of the light red and the other half red. More then likely the white would be forward facing and red rear as a form of direction indicator.
0:51 you forget to put back the red plastic, which means the light has a way = front is white, the back is red and people handling it can signal red or white to the train ;)
Other than that, super cool restoration 👍👍👍
In my opinion, go with the incandescent bulb. That glow will never be replicated with an led. Less efficient, not as bright, but also not the point. Love this!
IF I didn't see it I wouldn't believe it! This is great! I like the second LED bulb better - it filled the lantern more. But of course I like the original bulb best. Thank you once again for sharing your wonderful talent and vision.
Great job. I enjoy watching your videos but one thing that you do, (or rather, that you dont do) that makes your videos so enjoyable, is that you dont show the before, and after thumbnails.. this makes it so much more of a surprise. Other channels show the finished result in the opening picture, which , in my mind, ruins the experience and negates the reason for watching them .
True. True
I love the colors and also i think the stickers just ruin the pretty job you’ve done 🤔
I admire Tysy’s neatness of the parts he laid out! Great job, buddy! 😊
I always find these videos so relaxing to watch.
Absolutely beautiful. You are a true craftsman 👍
Your work is so clean and meticulous ❤️ I absolutely love it 😤👌💕
If you didn't showed the jug of the rust remover, I would take that cup as beer. No kidding hahaha
Amazing restoration! Your work is flawless!
We say here in Russia "golden hands!" about guys like you.🤗
Ещё у нас говорят, "Руки из правильного места растут" )))а вот что за неправильное место, все местные в курсе))
Translation:Timur Sorokin
They also say, “Hands are growing from the right place”))) but what the wrong place is, all the locals are in the know))
Remarkably clean interior! I couldn't have asked for a better find.
Very nice. I like the original bulb and the red filter. Beautiful lamp!
I think I need him to restore my room 😂😂😂😂😂it’s an awful mess
😂
I was hoping to see it restored with original battery and lights. Still great work indeed!
he did show it working with original light just not battery
@@SneakersAnonymousMatt I only saw the LEDs, must've missed it then
Great work as usual. But I think it was a mistake not to keep it original. It's not a restoration if it is not restored to its original configuration.
The small bulb seems to be more powerful. Beautiful work.
Another great restoration. It looks best with the original bulb. Would have been nice to have seen it with the red filter.
Where is the red plastic part that went around the globe, why didn't you put that back in the lamp ?
Great. I like the original bulb - incandescent light, much better than fluorescent light.
Those are cold white LEDs, not fluorescent lights.
The incandescent looks the best. Get some 3000-3600k LEDs and it will look way better... cool white dosnt really look nice.
An excellent restoration. Great choice of color... WELL DONE!!! 10/10
I liked the smaller LED light bulb. Very nice restoration.
Where is the red part it needs to be put back in. Also good job on the restorations, I enjoy watching.
А там в лампе ещё красный светофильтр был - видимо для того, чтобы этой лампой можно было указывать как на занятость перегона, так и на его свободность.
Куда Вы его дели?
а еще приклеенный на термоклей акб и кнопка к металу, это просто жопа, и столько места свободого, можно норм гелевый акб поставить
Светофильтр походу похерился, но видео об этом умалчивает по тихому...
Это подарок для подписчиков
Как мне кажется там должен был быть моторчик с валом под квадрат патрона и этот светофильтр должен был вращаться
@@KOL_OK зачем ему вращаться если колпак без прорези?
Who else likes to watch these kind of videos at 2x speed?
Literally every time
Now I do
1.25 for me
I am 1,75
Finally I’m not the only one
My friend you are a God of restoration ! ! !
Superbe travail, vraiment ! En terme d'ampoules, je préfère la plus petite avec les leds, son éclairage est bien uniforme sous le dôme de la lampe.
I am just curious, what do you do with the excess rust remover and other chemicals you use to clean? Do you discard them? Do you save them? Do you reuse them?
Love how he comes by to heart the comment...but not actually answer the question.
I have seen him say in other videos that the MC-51 rust remover is reusable. I’m not sure if he re-uses his, but he did make the statement that it can be.
Another great project and the small LED I thought looked the best :-)
Le sticker, qui ne correspond pas vraiment au style de l’époque devrait être mis sur le dessous (comme signalé aussi dans de nombreux commentaires en anglais). Quand à l’ampoule, vu qu’il y a une énorme modification en installant une batterie LIPO, l’ampoule LED va bien et durera beaucoup plus longtemps sans recharge. Sinon travail toujours aussi soigné. Bravo.
Nie rozumiem ludzi którzy wystawiają Tobie kciuka w dół . Naj prawdopodobnie są to osoby które w swoim życiu nic nie naprawił ale za to wiele zniszczyły , takie społeczne szkodniki . Ja Twoją pracę podziwiam i czerpię pomysły . Mnie osobiście bardziej satysfakcjonuje odrestaurowana rzecz niż kupiona .Pozdrawiam .
Led bulbs were brightest but the incandescent bulb had a warmth to it :)
Nothing beats the glow of an incandescent bulb.
Great Video & Restoration.... and I assume that you Did replace the internal Original Red half Globe? If Not.... its whole purpose as a railroad (switchman/conductor) lantern... is "lost", and therefore its overall value, in terms of aesthetics (historical) and financial value.
what is the purpose of the red half globe?
I don't know how long the incandescent bulb is going to last on the 11.1 volts from the lithium battery, but it looks the best. Otherwise, I like the larger "corn cob" LED bulb. What battery did it originally use?
I prefer with the original bulb, and It will probably will looks better with the red piece.
Why would someone dislike this vid its so satisfying.
Excellent restoration - Thanks for sharing.
The smaller LED lights the globe more evenly and seems brighter.
The larger lamp has strong blue cast where smaller bulb is whiter. What happened to the red insert?
I love your channel.
It's awesome to see stuff not made from plastic.
But why did you put the battery in the lower part? it's so small you could have it only in the lid,
Then you could have storage in the lower part.
(would make an awesome lunch-box, or First aid kit box)
Well, with the way he did it, you can always install a much larger battery for extended usage
@@TrueFlameslinger
No he did not.
Stop incorrecting people.
Would love to see how the red light would look with the old bulb
I love corncob LED's. I have a bunch in my basement. They provide excellent light and efficiency.
Unbelievable!!!!! The man is a magician!!!
Дружище, поставь обратно красную хреновину, а то так не честно, мы требуем))
Мдя, аутентичность не соблюдена, новодел, на Кристи и Сотбис не прокатит.
Видимо сломал при восстановлении
Пусть выдувает из стекла, че за нахуй то
Тут то он и облажался , взял наверное сломал красную деталь((
Видимо меняя лампочку неподошла
Muito bom! Amo essas antiguidades..
Eu adoro assistir estes vídeos de restauração me desconecto do mundo😌
who else watches these kind of videos in double speed?
krapfenhugable Sometimes I do.
Nooooooo
Sometimes...but I also love the ASMR effect at normal speed ✌️
What kind of obsession is this🙄
Functional and pretty. Nice work
Forgetting the “red filter” was so you can comment on that. Boosts video engagement and therefore more $$ for the channel from ads. Amazing job!
?
Old yellow bulb makes for me. I really don´t like cold blu light.
0:50 - 1:00 red flag!
15:50 not install red flag!!!
Aluminum, not paint, aluminum only anodized!
Quien te pregunto sapo
@@haroldrengifo4018 what?
@@haroldrengifo4018 q decis gil rescatate
Yes..im very sad too...he not instal that...like rotator..i like rotator 😟😢
This is amazing. Why not use a larger battery?
Great job. I prefer the original bulb, the red internal lens and renewed original wiring scheme especially if a suitable battery could be found.
You do a great job. Its really satisfying watching someone that nows what they are doing and doing it well. There are soo many fakes on youtube but glad to see someones doing it right. Thanks for yet another great video.
