    The ghost of the person who originally made this waffle iron is probably very pleased to learn about all of the cool new upgrades to the small parts. Heat-shrink wire protectors, special coating for the washers, they are probably bragging to their friends in the afterlife that something that they made is still relevant and usable. This makes me happy.

    If the heating elements were connected in parallel to work on the old French 110 volt standard, you ought to be able to change it so the two elements are connected in series to run on the present 230 volt standard.

      @Tishers 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Nichrome wire comes in different gauges and resistances per foot (meter). You can work out the maths for any supply voltage and using a very simple Ohm's law calculation you can figure out the wattage you are shooting for (to get a certain temperature). Then you measure out the uncoiled nichrome wire, choose a different mandrel dimension (the rod you wound the wire around) and twist until you get the desired length.
      Grounding the shell of the iron is not a bad idea. The way it is, any sort of abrasion of the heating element on the fiberglass would put the case at mains potential (very dangerous).

      Unless you have a 110V outside supply, grounding would be of no use. Here in the UK you would need a 230-110 volt transformer to power the cooker, which would have its own ground for the 230V side. The 110V wire and an eath connection would not conduct any current. 110V is far less dangerous than 230V anyway, and would be unlikely to cause serious injury or death

      I agree that by todays standards it's required to have an earth connection to the metal, so that it trips the fuse immediately if for some reason the exposed mains wiring in these heating elements or anything else makes contact to the metal. Not unreasonable that grease or dough finds a way inside and make a connection.
      I guess if you use a safety transformer and just restore it as a showpiece that only got used once for the video, it's fine to leave it as it is.

Even with a transformer the aluminium “case” needs to be grounded (PE) to avoid electric chock if the live wire gets damaged, be it 110V or 230V.

      I was thinking about that too! It makes sense though because not only do waffles have a unique shape, if people in older times did not own a full stove, waffles were a handy alternative to pancakes, their shape making them able to stay steady inside of a small device without making a mess. So what may be considered fancy now actually had a very practical utility for less well-off homes.

    This is beautiful but I don't think it's entirely food safe, as residual selenium from the cold bluing process may produce toxic fumes until it burns off. Hot bluing with a food-safe oil like canola or sunflower is generally recommended for anything used to prepare or cook food.

    I can't believe you didn't season the waffle plates. It's so easy to do, you just take some cooking oil, wipe it on, bake the plate for a few minutes, repeat a few times until the surface turns a little black/bronze and you are done. It adds a little flavor but it mostly protects the surface and prevents sticking. It doesn't have to be vegetable oil either you can season with butter.

      @@zwapz at work I do asbestos and Chromium 6 & Lead inspections. So I can quickly assess if something is suspicious or it's free from asbestos or chromium6/lead. Take the fact in this video that is seems to made before 1995 and the probability of asbestos being present is already high. Especially since it has a heat element in it and therefore requires insulation.

    BTW, the "leftover" insulation within the waffle maker is asbestos-containing and the paint covering the outside must be lead-containing. Would be nice to show restoration with measures to protect health and safety or restorers. Many "old things" contain contaminants and hazardous materials that pose health risks to people doing restoration.

    12:00 je veux pas faire mon emmerdeur, mais c'est vraiment plus aux normes cet embout. blague a part ca peut etre un vrai danger, le truc peut etre a moitié sorti de la prise avec les broches exposées tout en étant sous tension, j'ai pris un coup de jus en débranchant un truc quand j'étais gosse.
    Edit : si tu mets les deux résistances en série au lieu d'en parallele, ca marche nickel avec du 220v
