*Hi folks! Since I was a child, I dreamed of opening a Police Beacon Light and seeing how it works! If you had this curiosity as well, here you are! Enjoy watching, and please arrest the Like and Subscribe button! Cheers!*
Run for it, the cops are here! I don't think I've ever seen an object linked to the police so friendly and fun! Beautiful restoration! And the bloddy electric motor still worked! I wonder how functional a MacBook or iPhone will be in half a century's time...
The red wasn't the original colour, so I couldn't make it red. You can read more in the description. Metal filler is an option that I choose to use, but depends if it is my object, I'm doing it. If my client wants to let the marks of the past I'm listening 🙂
I think this is a Fire Dept light since it's base is red, Milicja (Police) I think just left the base silver or may have painted it blue to match their vehicle.
Hi. The red colour was applied manually by someone. I guess that police used the light bulb at first and then painted it red to fit with a Fire Truck 🚒
I remember those type of lights, then they went to the strobe lights, which I despise. I don't know how police can work around them for long periods of time.
I'm not sure, if red was really the wrong color. I mean, there where ambulances and firefighters as well. And on both types of cars the body of the blue light could be red. But all in all a nice video of a very good restoration. Congrats.
Thank you, Dirk! The original color wasn't red, perhaps the Police car was out of service, and they took the good parts from it, including the beacon light. Then somebody painted it red by hand (it is visible on the bottom and the fabrication plate) and installed it on a fire engine or ambulance.
Okropne i zbrodnicze czasy, wszystko było czarno białe z elementami właśnie niebieskiego, mam nadzieję że to nigdy nie wróci. Ale mimo wszystko dobra robota :)
After polishing, you had a polished Polish light. I feel soldering together the broken contact is going a bit far in keeping original substance. You'd have been better off crimping on a new contact, now you have a predetermined failure point. Oh and do me a favor: Don't use tiny screwdrivers on huge screws, it makes me cringe. For the screwdrivers AND the screws.

The red wasn't the original color. I mentioned that in the video. You can see on the fabrication plate that it was hand painted on the top randomly with a brush and not only.
Pay more attention. I mentioned in the video that it isn't the original colour. You can see it at the bottom and even on the fabrication plate. There are splashes above, hand painted with a brush by someone. 🙃
@@rustyshadesrestoration - oryginalny kolor zauważyłem na podstawie - srebrny młotkowy. Wszystkie musiały wychodzić z wytwórni identyczne, niezależnie gdzie były póżniej montowane, co było rozsądne z punktu widzenia produkcji. Zapewne podczas jakiegoś późniejszego remontu , komuś nie chaciało się ściągnąć "kogutów" i pomalowano je w kolor pojazdu.

@@rustyshadesrestoration At around 3:30 when you are removing a piece and then you hold it even closer at 3:40 but it is never still. I had to stop at that point.
Ok. Thanks for letting me know. I never had such a problem, so I needed to know precisely. I hope I will remember at every shot to keep them still. But it isn't always possible. Cheers!
Hello from France to see this beacon in front of your home in 1972 in Poland, it was to wonder if a neighbor did not denounce you for having made remarks against the communist party
Hi Christophe! That's true. In all, Central-Eastern European countries were like that. Let's hope that those times will never come back, even tough someone dreams about that.
How can someone write “Cool and Great Job”… ?!? 🤦🏻♂️ He didn't even seal the rusty and deeply damaged parts before painting! He does great things at other times, but he completely blew this one. 🙇🏻 Sorry!
That guy that blew this is responding to you 😅 This is a client requirement, actually a friend that loves the marks of the past and wants to keep them for authenticity. Stop trying to influence what others like because you don't, or you don't understand because you not know to ask why this happened in this video and other ones no... Hahaha, cheers! 🤦♂️
@@rustyshadesrestoration Dear Sir, comments on CZcams videos are allowed, on the contrary, you encourage them. I am very rarely critical of other people's work. However, with you, working at the police beacon, I really couldn't forgive myself for it. It broke my heart. If you were doing this for a friend who requested that special period patina under the new powder coat, you should have mentioned that in the video caption. Still, if your friend likes the period look of the used one, you should have left it as it was. It was sufficiently original and functional. Best regards, Jarek
I do not have any problem with negative feedback as long it comes with some advice. Your comment was just negative without any specifications. If you read the description it could be great, there you will find out about the client and many other details. Have a great day! 👍

*_I love the amount of love and dedication you show on these restorations!_*
Thank you so much! ✊️ It is very nice to know that!
I love beacon lights, especially these blue ones!
Nothing beats a rotating beacon "pop flash"
Super robota. W końcu doczekaliśmy się prawdziwego mistrza rodaka w renowacjach . Wspaniała jakość . Gratuluje i Pozdrawiam
Dziękuję 🙂
@@rustyshadesrestoration szkoda że nie dałeś szpachli od spodu i że nie zostawiłeś czerwonego koloru.

Great job, as always 👏
When it started to spin , in the end, i thought about a party too 😅
Thank you! This piece will see a lot of party people. It will serve in a private bar.
Cool job ! Always pleasure to watch your videos 😊
Thank you 🙂
Very nice 👍
Thank you!
As always, well done
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice work 👍 you just need the siren to go with it now 😁 nicely done
Thank you 🙂 Maybe I'll do a siren too! Cheers!
Beautiful restoration mister good job well done
Thank you Vince! 🙂
Nice video mate ! Keep going ! 👍
Thank you! 🙂
Fantastic! Disco at your place 😉
Yes, now I need to put some oldies but goldies from the 70s, and that's it! 😃 I can throw a massive party in my shop.
Looks like some kid had stuffed his peanut butter and jelly into the motor. Great job.
Exactly! 😂 Thank you!
Благодарю мастера за отличную работу. Маяк стал лучше нового. Спасибо большое за труд. Удачи вам на канале. 🛠️🚔📹👍🔥
Thank you 🙂 I'm glad you like it! Cheers!
I think it would need a brighter light so that you can see it more in the day but still this was a great restoration
That's very good job !!! You're good, I like how you did'it, just awesome !!!👍👍👌👌🛠⚙
Thank you John! 🙂
Ngl I want this light 😅
Parabéns pelo vídeo.❤ 🚑🚒🚨

Wow, super cool.😊😊😊
Thank you! 🙂 Now I can drop a massive party in my shop 😅
Nice job !
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice piece of history, you arrested its decay! 🤪🤪
Mr. Decay is in jail for the next 50 years 😅
@@rustyshadesrestoration hahaha, good one!
...now to chase some bad guys...lol..good job, keep safe...
Haha! Thank you! Enjoy watching!
I don’t know if you’re also making a siren sound but I definitely am.

Hi. The red colour was applied manually by someone. I guess that police used the light bulb at first and then painted it red to fit with a Fire Truck 🚒
@@rustyshadesrestoration Makes sense, I think the Police ones just had a bare silver base or was painted blue to match their Milicja vehicles.
I think its a firefighter light,because the base is painted red,on the police cars,the base is bare aluminium,or painted with white paint.🙂
It was repurposed. Red is not the original paint.
Nice job 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Thank you Tom! 🙂

Dobra robota ,ale gdybyś użył jeszcze szpachli i termokurczek było by 10/10 👋👍
Всегда хотелось узнать, что там внутри😊😊😊
Cool! Mee too! That's why I choosed to make this video.
@@rustyshadesrestoration спасибо за отлично проделанную работу!

I hope that too! Those were quite dark times for Central-Estern Europe.
👍🏼
I'm glad you like it! 🙂
Trabalho excelente. Mas gosto mais da côr vermelha 👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you! It wasn't the original colour, so I couldn't make it red. 🙂
I hope that wasn't your wife's toothbrush. Lol. 😄😄
Hahahha! No, she will kill me!
Lol. It turned out very nice.
This appears to be an Elektra LBS-5 model if you're interested.
I am as long as I chose to make this video. 🙂 On the fabrication plate, I could read the model and the year.
@@rustyshadesrestoration I couldn't see it on the plate. Great job with the restoration though!
Hi Rusty Shades how are you? 🙂🇵🇱

The red was better because it's the original
The red wasn't the original color. I mentioned that in the video. You can see on the fabrication plate that it was hand painted on the top randomly with a brush and not only.
Czerwona farba to raczej strażacka.
That's not the original colour.
The bulb is not really suitable because it has a directed beam. Nice work tho.
I couldn't find a place to buy a different one. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
Po oryginalnym kolorze podejrzewać by należało raczej straż pożarną.
Pay more attention. I mentioned in the video that it isn't the original colour. You can see it at the bottom and even on the fabrication plate. There are splashes above, hand painted with a brush by someone. 🙃
Maybe they took it from a police car and used it for a fireman's truck, that's also possible, but red isn't the original paint.

If you are going to go so close up, you need to hold things still. I got motion sickness from watching.
