- Today's video is a vintage calculator restoration video.This is probably the hardest restoration I tried to do.It's not the best but I'm pleased how it turned out. I really hope you like it.The whole process took around 20 days.The calculator is from 1950s so I'm still missing some pieces.

hi.. it would be nice if u show "things" that u has been restored works
Вы такой мастер, такую штуку разобрать , отреставрировать и ещё собрать! Моё восхищение!
Nicely done but agree with some others, it would be nice to see it in action too.
There is a video, just such on TH-cam 'how vintage calculator operates'. Its very interesting how accurate it is
it's unsatisfying to see how he fixes it and that in the end he doesn't use it :(
Yeah I agree pretty good restoration but I do think they should have painted the numbers rather than leaving the metal exposed
I want see how it works after restoration.
If only someone knew how to work one!
My thought exactly! After all the hard work how about a demonstration of the thing working
There's a manual for it somewhere you just have to look for it. You'd be amazed at what's available.
Absolutely, looks nice now, but does it still calculate correctly.

Great restoration. This is a Model 5 mechanical calculator made by the now-former 'Tvornica Računskih Strojeva' (Computing machines factory) based in Zagreb, Croatia, which was one of the pioneers in computing technology in Europe at the time. This model was produced from 1955 to approx. 1960. Because all of the drawings, factory records, and equipment in storage were dumped after the company went out of business in 1992., nobody knows for sure how many of these machines were built, or even how many different models the factory produced.
My goodness, the people who put these together were brilliant - to my mind. You brought it back to beautiful life - very fine job.
It always amazes me how they remeber to put all these parts back together!
Hahaha.....it is the main reason why they record all that......cleaning it up is just a thing on the side 🙂 (just kidding...)
Just marvelous, I have the same calculator, Swedish made and in Green. However I'd never dare to take it apart as it would be far beyond my mediocre mechanical abilities.
A beautiful job well done!
Taking it apart is the easy part.
@@wandrinyew even that scares me.

@@wandrinyew it always amazes me to see restorers take apart such intricate items like this, then put them together again seemingly so easily! incredible memory and knowledge!
Nice job!! I'm glad I didn't have to learn accounting in the 1950s! 🙌🙌🙌
Mechanical inventions can be every bit as genius as electronic ones are. And even more elegant and beautiful in their design!
I can't imagine the reaction of people who used this type of calculator if they saw what we use now.
We had these at school in the 1960's. They were brought out on a trolley and placed on our desks. This was before the days of electronic calculators. Electronic calculators may have existed but were only affordable by industry and the science community. I still have a Sinclair calculator that came out in 1972. The mechanical calculators were more of an exercise in showing that numbers could be handled by cogs so even then they were a novelty rather than for practical use. Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace didn't get a mention. In general we were expected to do calculations in our head or long hand. We were also taught to use slide rules, Napier's Bones and logarithms. Comptometer machines were still being used in industry and I remember first seeing an electronic computer held in a environmentally controlled room. Much of it seemed to be large reels of tape and no monitor. The rate of technological change has been mind boggling and continues to be so. Not only has the computing power changed dramatically but the size has as well. I still hold micro sd cards in awe.
The transition from mechanical to digital was a game changer.
I used one of these beasts in university in the early 70’s. I also used one of the first Hewlett-Packard calculators that cost $125 in1972 dollars and only had 4 functions, +, -, x, & /.
@@anearbytown Imagine how some of us feel who came up in the 1990's with the home computer revolution now seeing the dawn of quantum computers. Instead of bits they use qubits. I remember hearing rumor of them in the late 1990's. A friend of mine would tell me that the people working on them at the time were having trouble controlling the states of the qubits. Now quantum computing is a reality. So I imagine that the computing revolution in some form may start all over again. Time will tell I guess.
@@zband9016 My introduction to computers was at college where they had printer terminals i.e. no monitor. The computer was not on site so it had to be dialled up on a conventional telephone and once connected you put the phone in a cradle near the keyboard. The input and output was all in printed text. To save a program you sent it to a punched tape device that spewed out narrow rolls of paper with holes punched in it. My tutor had worked on the Atlas computer using Fortran. The college also had some ailing programmable calculators that required you to write code to move values in and out of the registers. This was great for understanding how the computers worked. I am struggling to get my head around quantum computing. I have yet to see an explanation that is simple enough for me to understand how a program would work! It amuses me that when I first saw Windows for the first time I though it would not catch on.
It ain't restored unless it works.Come on, show us this baby in action.
Amen to that!!
I guess the products from another planet cannot be made out but restored.
@@walkeroldmemories1259 There is a video, just such on TH-cam 'how vintage calculator operates'. Its very interesting how accurate it is
I agree I wanted to see if it worked!!!
Your attention to detail is inspiring. Very well done, thanks.
Нужно всегда показывать как это работает, после реставрации.
Разобраться как пользоваться этой адской машиной ни каждый сможет а отреставрировать с разборкой - сборкой так это вообще жесть. Чел ас))).
Вот вот, не понятно, для чего эта штуковина.
@@Evgenya_22 Это арифмометр. Древний калькулятор. Принцип действия такой. Рычажками в вертикальных прорезях (где красные и белые точки) набираешь нужное число (27:15). Другим рычажком (08:23) выбираешь нужное арифметическое действие. Потом ручку сбоку крутишь на один оборот. На нижних барабанах видишь результат.
Это очень примерный вариант. Это аппарат уж больно древний. Я немного пользовался (баловался) с более новым. Назывался "Феникс".
@@user-tp9bp5zl3l спасибо большое. Буду теперь знать. Вот какая оказывается нужная штука.
@@user-md2pq7pn9x он ещё счётный барабан не разбирал, вот там жесть. Что перепутаешь и всё. А колёса то номерные это ерунда.
Fantastic Restoration !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why paint the white numbers after the drum was reassembled? you just filled it with dust!
He forgot to do that and then was lazy to disassemble?
I agree 👍
Amazing~~!! Very Good~~~~~
Whoever designed this is a genius
Or ..More probably ....totaly MAD !! Once he saw electrical calculators come in .............!
Since he didn't do a demonstration of it working, then it's not a full restoration.
Agree wholly. But the video producer strangely is not commenting on the fact that it most likely doesn't work. Chicken.
Hey folks, ease up!! MrRescue did his best. It's near impossible to fix if you don't have al the parts. The same goes for a demo. I used one of these when it was high tech, back in 1966, even with the manual and proper instruction it could be a bugger to manipulate. My exposure was while I was a Canadian serviceman, my trade was a land surveyor with the Royal Canadian Artillery. We used it for logarithm based calculations. Thanks for stirring memories from long ago.
Great Video
Wow dope restoration! Would love to see it function. I didn’t even know there were calculators before the electronic ones I grew up with!😅
There was also slide rulers that you could use
Dope indeed
Beautiful.
I live in the United States love watching your work 3:30pm
Applause for restoration and Nobel Prize for calculator inventor.👍
Great Job!! Just like brand new
That is a beautiful piece.
Thank you for another great video
Someone Has To Bored Out Their Ass To Watch Half An Hour Of Someone Restoring A Vintage Calculator.
Yes. Have we met?
Yea I'm on thankgiving break so I'm bored as hell
I guess he films and writes all the breakdown, I would never could re assemble that again xD
Bah.....I could EASILY put it back together and with ONLY a dozen leftover parts 😉
When I disassembly an engine I always putt the spare parts right into one of the cylinders. But i wouldn't have a slightest idea where to put the spare parts and screws into that machine 😄
Yes. I agree. You just can't reassemble without any reference
Play it backwards
Amazing job
Agora sim mostra a competência de um grande restaurador Parabéns.
Very good restoration 👍
In Germany we say "Taschenrechner" 😁
My parents have a vintage typewriter similar to the Underwood model 5 early 1900’s. It’s exact details I don’t know. I do know it’s been in the family since new. He was a coal salesman. I even have one of his original business cards. It’s in real need of repair. I’d imagine if you just keep it after your done. It just sits in my parents basement in Atlanta. I’ll see about his business card. That I’d like to have back. Lol. You do immaculate work. Look forward to hearing from you. I hope to get pics from my father soon.
Nice job.💙
*_I love the amount of love and dedication you show on these restorations!_*
So cool they figured out how to make something mechanical complete calculations
wow a beautiful job.
Museum quality restoration !!!!!! Outstanding work!!!! Beautiful job!!!!
Espetacular kedo la máquina sos un genio reparando todo saludos de 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Awesome restoration. Great to see old machines restored to be used again. I would diffently use this.
Amazes me how you can put it back together
Looks more like a time machine!
A truly magnificent restoration!
Gran bel lavoro, uno spettacolo!!!!
I would not have a clue about putting all those parts back together again!
That is outstanding! Subscribed!
That's an amazing job!!! Just fantastic! Congratulations Mr Rescue! 😊❤
This type of mechanical calculator was common in offices fifty years ago. I was over the moon when, in 1976, I had my first electronic hand held calculator - ! It was rather larger than a pack of twenty cigarettes, but it was electronic and hand held - ! 😁
I remember guys making an excellent living, going from one insurance salesmen to another in Perth Western Australia. They were offered at A$75 each, and rapidly became the workhorse of an entire financial industry.
Magnífico trabajo le quedó muy bien lo felicito.
Muy bonito trabajo
Моя бабушка мне рассказывала о подобном аппарате. Когда по молодости своей трудилась счетоводом в деревне. И называла она его арифмометр
That's alot pieces... Patience is a virtue )
Perfeita a restauração ! Uma melhor que outra , parabéns amigo continue assim !!!
Perfeito muito bom !
Excelent work 👏👏👏
Great job. It would be nice to see it working after restoration
I was actually betting, that you won't show how it works at the end. Because it doesn't. It's fine to make the core shiny, but it's either rusty inside and you never opened it. Or it's broken. However, I'm not blaming you to not opening the core. It's nearly impossible to reassamble it without studying for years first.
It looks fine as a decoration article.
No need to bet on it - it doesn't work. I could tell from experience when he was taking it apart it will never work again. No regard for the timing whatsoever, parts missing in the reassembly of the tens carry mechanism, demo of the clearing appears to clear the carriage to all 1's instead of all 0's...pinwheel cylinder completely blocked, and when "finished" the input control register is at all 9's while the cylinder is at 0. MrRescue is just glad that he could put this back together to something outwardly resembling a mechanical calculator ... but it's no less of a boat anchor now than it was at the start - it just looks shinier :)
Я в институте на таком арифмометре по геодезии решала задачи, которые на специальной вычислительной бумаге помещались на нескольких листах формата А3. Даже устраивали соревнование, кто больше накрутит на нём за 10 секунд. Да, юность помнит светлые моменты.❤
These guys go and find some old beat up, but salvageable antique. Then they sit it out in the rain and let it get good and rusty. They let birds and chipmunks make their home in it and then pile dirt, grass, and ashes on it so it looks much more miraculous when they shine it up.
Great Approach , very sensitive 😄 .
This was from the 50s? Looks like something Pythagorus built!!!
Didn't we have the pocket calculator by now!
Fantastic work:)
ES DEMASIADO FACIL DECIR FELICIDADES POR EL EXCELENTE TRABAJO DE RESTAURACION ES UNO DE LOS POCOS QUE REALMENTE SON RESTAURADORES, XK MUCHOS SON SOLO UNA IMITACION SOLO POR VER ESTE VIDEO ME SUSCRIBO GRACIAS POR SUS VIDEOS
Rio de Janeiro-- Ficou incrível, Você é um gênio, parabéns...
On the outside it looked terrible - but on the inside not too bad! After the restoration though, perfect
Very cool object well done.
wow superb job. looks fantastic…. awesome job my friend….4️⃣0️⃣1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣5️⃣6️⃣7️⃣9️⃣🔟8️⃣🔁🔂🔄↩️↪️👍
With this engineering the invention is great.....
nice restoration
*Bravo kardeşim* 👏👏
your videos are really cool keep it up
Very great work 👏 👍
I aged 5 years watch you try to clean those tiny components with what looked to be a 3" or 4" brass wire wheel.
But to got it done.
I would have bought a dremel.
But I'm incurably finicky
Brutal
Quedó nueva...Me hubiere gustado verla funcionando. Manos laboriosas, felicitaciones.
we want to see this in action!
There is a video, just such on TH-cam 'how vintage calculator operates'. Its very interesting how accurate it is
I doubt it worked as it looks like the gears weren't aligned correctly
Imagine their reaction to the calculators we have now
Obviously you had some training/background in the workings of this machine. I remember thinking those calculators were remarkable when I was a child. Amazing job, but like many here, this would be well beyond my meager mechanical skills to undertake, having never see the inside of one of these before. Good job!!
Tu es génial et en plus tu écoute du Alan Walker 😍 ( oui j'ai réussi à entendre en fond ) 😂
Except for the red and white dots, beautiful.
😎👍😊😎👍👍👍👍Genial
Digital calcs are cool but this is insanely intricate
1:52 min in was a "Dun Dun DULULULULUL" moment! Emotional damage. 😱 So stressed watching the grinding of the numbers too 😬
Amazing restoration, great work!
Looks great!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
👍👍👍i like it!❤️❤️❤️
Awesome restoration, well done
Does not work. Downvote
Me habría gustado que hicieras una demostración calculando alguna cantidad para ver si el mecanismo quedó funcionando bien.
OMG. What a beautiful restoration job. Amazing.
Does not work
MrRescue 🤗🤗🤗
Most Outstanding!
Amazing..but how it works? 👍👍👍
Impressive work
Si lo desmonto yo, después me "sobrarían" más de la mitad de las piezas. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Bromas aparte, has hecho un trabajo sensacional. Lástima que no hayas puesto como funciona.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I dont know how you kept all them parts in order. Nice work
I managed to nab a working one of these at a market for $90 .. made by walther, the guys who make the guns I assume. Unfortunately I dropped it so the higher digits will give wrong results if you work with really big numbers, but although that was a bit heartbreaking it's still so nice to use and is such a cool device. really like the adding machines with the rotating cylinder rather than the buttons
nice work
Very well👍
Смотрю на это в оба глаза и удивляюсь как можно так вот запомнить все детали где какая стояла у меня бы голова лопнула 👍😅
Дык он же снимает не только для нас. Потом при сборке крутит заснятое в обратную сторону и смотрит, чего куды пихать. :)
