Early 1900s Electric Door Bell - Restoration
Vložit

- In this video I'm going to restore an antique german electric door bell.
I've bought this door bell from an online auction for $45. It was in pretty rough condition, but it was still working, kind of. What I first saw as a quick and easy project turned out to be a really tough and time consuming challenge. Remaking the broken copper part needed a lot of trial and error until I have finally managed to completely recreate that part. Not just making the jig, also the engraving and tumblering. The coils were very tricky as well. At first I planned just to clean them as they were still working, but I've quickly realized that the insulation was damaged and I had to rewind them. Allthough low voltage isn't dangerous rewinding was neccessary to get the job done 100%. It was a good idea though, as the iron cores have been completely rusted under the copper wire. Rewinding required a lot of testing too until I got a satisfying result, as it was my first time doing it. Finding the old newspaper was very cool and even better to actually find a date on that newspaper „1902“. A follower on Instagram was actually able to find that newspaper from 1904 when it was printed. It was actually a patent description. If you click the link below you're actually able to find the exact patent with the exact same text like you can see in the video on the newspaper. With all this information this door bell must have been built somewhat around 1904-1906 in Germany I guess.
I have also built a walnut box for it to cover the electrics. You can see that at the very end of the video. Be sure to check out the video on my second channel „my mechanics insights“ to see how I made it.

Thanks for watching 🙂
Топ 😃😃😃😃💪
These are insane man! Thankyou for being the only thing i can listen to to make me fall asleep :)
Ich habe noch einen Elektroheizlüfter ohne Gebläse aus den ca 30er Jahren, ein sehr schönes Stück wie ich finde,
Interesse ?
Ich habe ihn Jahrzehnte aufbewahrt
Zu schade zum entsorgen
PS ich habe kein Facebook oder Instagram
Falls Interesse besteht, wie kann ich sie kontaktieren ?

You can wrap a metal wire in the threads of screws for better gripping in the lathe and to avoid deforming the threads.
This one had it ALL. Countersink, , chamfering, smoothed edges, “I make a new one,” sandblasting, woodwork, electric repair, sanding, buffing, polishing, electroplating, et al. Been watching and admiring for years, and would put this project among your very best. Thank you for continuing to post these beautiful videos.
wow. you must know a lot about repairs
And don't forget the best part: when he gets to use tools he's previously restored himself in these videos, like the Arbor Press!
Haha, thanks a lot :-)
I think my favourite bit was preserving the old newspaper clippings, then adding your own note to your grandson between the new windings. That was so sweet! I also loved how you re-created the makers mark... that was over and above
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it :-)
@@mymechanics yeah, I liked that part too. Small note - If you make such "time capsules" in the future I'd recommend you to use an ordinary pencil, because pencil graphite doesn't fade, unlike pen ink, that in some cases completely disappear in 30 years.
Yeah old grandpa "My Mechanics".
the date of the newspaper has been written on the top of the piece of newspaper August,1902 When his subtitle mentioned that an subscriber found that it printed in 1904.
Anyway. I enjoyed especially the sound of the cleaning of the little ball was so funny 😅and you have great equipments to polishing metals. well done.
@@saleem86ful If you check the original document as linked in the description, it is a patent document stamped with a publication (or release?) date of 19th February 1904, but declaring the *validity* of the patent starting on 6th August 1902. The latter date is what is visible on the fragment.
This may sound weird but if I have hard time falling asleep I watch one of your videos because they are so calming and satisfying. Thank you 🙏
I am fascinated by your restorations. We own a house built in 1913. One of the first things we did was replace the mid-century electric chime doorbell with a buzzer bell (modern repro). My husband installed a governer to slow the electric pulse and deepen the ring of the bell.
Old houses need old doorbells. Obviously, I really loved this restoration of yours.
Cool story, thanks for sharing :-)
Cool
It really should be an object of pride to realize that the majority of restoration channels use your amazing format as a guide to great restorations. I am an old man and it is so amazing to see items from my generation (and older) restored and preserved instead of destroyed. Thank you for everything you stand for and all you have done in this revolution to preserve relics of the past. I wish you good health, happiness and all the very best wishes to you and your families!
Thank you very much Wesley for your nice comment. Really appreciated. All the best for you too!
✔️✔️
Not to be blunt, but channels like hand tool rescue came up with this format years before my mechanics did. Doesn't mean this is a bad channel, but the format is a clear copy.
This is just one of those channels where no matter how long it takes for the next upload even half a year at a time and youll still watch it straight away and be hungry for more content as soon as you've finished. The definition of craftsmanship in the dictionary should be a link to your channel
I agree!!
Bald & bankrupt is also like that with me (travel vlog, not restoration)
I agree. It's why I joined his Patreon (no this isn't an ad for it, really) because I kept wanting more content from him.
@@Vickie-Bligh مرحبا
So glad to hear that, thank you 😁
I am a 65 year old male relic, and need to be restored back to a 20 year old again!
Lots of people say I’m a perfectionist. Your on a whole new level. Congratulations. I will watch all your videos. I clean my small screws using a 3 pound lorton rock tumbler with steel shots and about a tablespoon of dish soap. I usually let it run for 48 hours. It even cleans the threads.
truly talented, what an amazing restoration! 🤯
This video was so good even CZcams themselves liked it. Very nice.
Oh wow, the boss himself 🤯 thank you very much, nice platform you have here 😉👍
Tmw CZcams itself comments
A historic moment 😍
this comment proves that my mechanics' videos are so good even the platform itself likes them
The growth of this channel over the passed few years has been extraordinary and very deserved. Couldn't be happier for your success!
Or the Past few years either.
@@PokerMonkey
Maybe he thinks of years as living beings, and therefore at the end of each year's lifespan, they pass away.
So "over the passed years", is correct.
Agreed! I watch every video of his soon as it’s posted! Love the skill, the level of detail, and love that he’s restoring items most people wouldn’t even try to because they may not be worth the cost in labor /parts.
It's just so satisfying.
@@An_Appeal_To_Heaven lmao. I fuckin love that thinking in your reply... F46
I've never seen anything like this in my life. What talent, knowledge and patience he has to restore and create new parts.
Amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Way more detailed and craftsmanship than what I was expecting. Most restoration channels lack your attention to detail. Kudos. Also live the fact that you're not talking incessantly over the video. The work speaks for itself.
I can only imagine how proud the person who made the original doorbell would be to see it as a true gem, a piece of art. Congratulations on the work.
It was probably mass produced and sold at Sears. Still cool tho.
Its story would be cool to know indeed
I’ve got to say. You were the first restoration channel that I ever subscribed to because it was clear that you were knowledgeable, you cared about the pieces you worked on, and you were VERY good at what you did. It was clear that “certain other” restoration channels saw this too and began to change their content to closely match yours after your initial success. Some of those channels after changing their format even ended up getting more subscribers to you and I thought that that was a shame. But you kept on released absolutely top notch content, improving your set up, and even expanded to have a second channel and now you have grown so much. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m really glad you have the success you have today and as a long time subscriber I look forward to every upload.
Thank you very much for your kind words and your longterm support. So glad I have such great subscribers like you! Means a lot to me ;-)
Yeah, almost every other restoration channel has upped their game thanks to this one. And like all imitations, they feel like copies at best.
The Postman Rings Twice. You have abilities which the average person is unaware of. For those of us who can follow your work (jigs included) we are in awe of a true Master. Outstanding video!
The true artist isn't afraid to cover his best work to achieve the full restoration.
Most restorers don't bother making something beautiful if it'll be covered up, whereas you sir are the real deal.
Every part restored fully and better than new, an absolute joy to watch.
Thank you.
You're the gold standard in restoration videos. What sets you apart is that you not only restore the piece, you actually improve it from its original condition. Great job on a really cool old thing!
So nice to hear, many thanks!
Agree, entirely. This man is making history.
Dear Gentleman. What a nice restoration! I enjoyed every second of it.
I was here! 🙂
Cheers!
Thanks a lot for beeing here :-)
When you are writing this you are still here, dear fellow. Then why do you say 'I was here'?
@@arsinclair cuz why not
@@arsinclair My dear fellow. It's an inside joke between "my mechanics" and me that we have said to each other's videos for the past many years.
I was here... again! 🙂
*The Best on CZcams!*
Love the fact that you made a mistake and kept it on camera to show us. Not many people can own up to it. Also goes to show that someone can be doing this almost their whole life and can still make them.
I like that you kept in any mistakes and just included troubleshooting and fixing them as part of the restoration.
I love how every piece is treated like it's the most important piece. The detail in your restorations are unparalleled. Please continue the amazing work
This is what sets this dude apart from all the other restoration you tube Channels out there. No one comes close imo
Glad to hear that, thank you very much 😁
I never thought a doorbell could be so beautiful to restore. All the precision with which you worked in detail is amazing! Congrats mate 👌 also, the walnut was a nice touch 😉 cheers 🍻
Yup he nailed it, all the best from Canada.
@@martyincanuckistan3635 Cheers from Finland, video was great, what a cool old doorbell!
Hello, my friend. Finding inspiration, I hope? 🤔
@@martyincanuckistan3635 fun too I have a 120 v fire bell I had it hooked to a motion sensor from flood lights set in in my sons room he came home from school walked in his room and it went off lol
@@danielhoward8354 beauty 😂
Something therapeutic about watching these videos
Glad you think so :-)
Great video, like all the other videos of yours that I've had the privilege of watching, and great restoration too! I love how you don't hide any of the 'fails' along the way -- like at the end when fully assembled, the restored door bell didn't work! No drama, approach it logically, troubleshoot until the fault is found, and a simple explanation for why it didn't work and the steps you took to remedy it. I look forward to watching more of your work! 🙂
Genuinely. I love how you also keep your mistakes in. You show painting over the circuit, and finding the problem to fix it. It’s really lovely and I’m sure will help others to troubleshoot in the future.
Glad to hear that, thank you very much
@@mymechanics but you didn't show how you cleaned the copper wire! or did you just replace it?
@@ArnoldTohtFan I think that he replaced that wire with a new one. Restoring a faulty enameled wire is by no means a trivial process, electrical, safety and quality wise.
@@ArnoldTohtFan Have you wached the video, or just "watched" it?
👍♥️
Watching you work with so much passion, made me realize that you are a doctor for lifeless objects, making them better than they were when they were new. Thank you, sir!
My pleasure, thank you!
Oh....what a beauty !!!!! Wonderful piece of a machine !!!!!!!!!! LOVE TO SEE IT GLITTERING.
The "snap" of the rusty screws breaking free is pure therapy
I just have to say it. I find it really good that you let your mistake with the paint in the video. I think a lot of people would have edited it out. You have done a really good job. Well done!!
Thank you!
This was such a terrific restoration! The meticulous detail you put into each part is remarkable. Our entire household looks forward to each new video of yours. Well-done!
Thank you so much!
Same here!!!
A furry!
I was putting off watching this one thinking "how interesting could an old doorbell actually be" but actually one of my favourites. All the bending and hemming jigs for the arm are great!
This took my breath away. The precision and the range of techniques were truly awe-inspiring. If I could have my time again I would definitely train to become an engineer.
Nice to hear that, thank you :-)
The one man war against sharp edges has entered the arena! Love these videos mate! Sensational work.
my mechanics: "So, how's my daughter doing at school? Has she passed the recent tests?"
Teacher: "Yes, with excellent grades. She's a fantastic student. Very cultural with a sharp mind and..."
my mechanics: *(extends hand)* "Say no more good madam. ...I've failed as a father..."

@@torhgrim oh no... :D
Edgy son in the background: *nervous sweating*
The amount of tools, patience, skill, steadiness, talent and attention to detail never ceases to amaze me.
Thank you very much, much appreciated :-)
I love how you take us through every individual piece. It not only makes this feel more authentic but I just love seeing the process of it all
great work!
My Mechanics. It ain't even close! You are the CZcams-Wherever else they may be... restoration GOAT!
The patent was extremely interesting to read. A clever design for electric trams to be able to signal the driver that they are ready to depart. The driver puts the train into slow forward, but the circuit is broken by breakers in each car. The conductors of each car ensure they are ready to leave, and flip their switches. Only when all cars are ready to leave will the motors energize.
Masterful! Loved all the jigs you made and especially the little bender and the coil winder which worked perfectly!! A Ton of small parts and tasks all finished to perfection with Excellent camera work and editing!! Nice save on the bell nut...didn't think it would come out as good as it did with out your trade mark -"Make new one". Always a true pleasure to watch you bring things back from the dead to better than new as originally intended! Thank You MM!
My pleasure, thank you very much!
I was super surprised that he didn't create a new bell nut, especially when I saw him use the pliers to unscrew it. But it looks good as new, albeit slightly smaller! 😄
@@ArniVidar indeed, just a bit smaller. Allthough still looks fine.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone repair an eyelet screw complete with soldiering and filing!
You are more patient than Job!
He ho he ho. A soldiering we'll go.
" when all these OTHERS " say. restore / repair..... they don't know the meaning 😆
YOU are the true MASTER 👍🏻 and will always be master of 1... ☆☆☆☆
As a machinist from Canada, I absolutely love your work! It goes to show how important it is to make products out of high quality materials that can stand the test of time and that are able to be beautifully restored by skilled, intelligent individuals like yourself.
Not like a lot of garbage that's produced today. You wont see any 2020 doorbells being restored in over 100 years. I hope manufacturers get back to their roots and get away from cheap, mass produced, plastic, unserviceable junk.
Nice to hear that and thanks for your support 🙏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Apologies mate but this is highly subjective.
You won't find any 2020 typical, run of the mill doorbells being restored in 100 years. No. But there are plenty of custom, expensive versions of things out there you *will* find in 100 years. Mostly things belonging to rich people.
And before you say "well of course rich people will have high quality stuff thats worth restoring in 100 years! what about everyone else?" if you think a middle class Joe like you or I had this type of doorbell, or any doorbell at all, 100 years ago you'd be sadly mistaken.
Mass produced things has made everything cheaper. Now even the poorest people in society can afford a doorbell, or better yet, it's *expected* they have one.
Yeah but compare the cost of a cheap plastic doorbell to the cost of one of these and you'll see why the market prefers the cheap stuff
Simple electromechanical doorbells are still being made today. They are rare but they still exist. Those that play back some mp3 file (or whatever format they use) likely won't work anymore and can't be repaired. Though a well made mask ROM might actually still be readable even in a hundred years, if it's not blown because of some other fault in the circuit (really new ones use flash memory though, I think, which will be unreadable in a few decades).
This is my first comment ever on youtube, after many years of enjoying it but after this video I could not resist. You truly are an artist , it is a joy to view your master restorations. I have been in the mechanic trade for 20 years so I understand your craftsmanship to some degree. Your level of patience and your unwillingness to comprimice with the result is so wonderful. Many thanks for sharing your beautiful restorations to the world. Love from Sweden / Jonas
Thank you very much Jonas for all the kind words 😁
I am truly speachless I'd say amazed by this man! Is there anything you can't do? You are the modern Leonardo Da Vinci!
Sir. You are the master. Me, I would have taken a little sand paper and a tooth brush and been happy. But what you did is astonishing. Soldering the screw eye, I would have gone to the hardware store and gotten 2 off the shelf. And you have a tool for every task. It looks awesome. Keep up the "galactic" work. I am overly impressed.
you always impress me, my mechanics. not just with the restoration, but some of the clever contraptions you create for specific scenarios in each restoration. you are definitely the best i’ve ever seen do this.
Thanks for your support :-)
I have seen many "restoration" videos but was never impressed until I found this channel in early 2019. No one else even came close to the time, research, and attention to detail that I found here! I truly can't say how much I look forward to an upload on this channel, no matter how long it takes!
Edit: grammar and spelling :P
Thanks for your support and your kind words :-)
Amazing!!! Your hands are so blessed!!! you have a gift from God to revive things
I have two very similar bells. But never in my wildest dreams did I believe that these were made in the early 1900s. Thanks for the info!
No Doubt, I am impressed of your work.
Stay safe

O M G! It’s Random Hands! Love your videos.
I tell anyone who will listen about this guy.
He’s amazing.
I bet everything in his house works perfectly.
You'd be surprised, how some proffesionals dont apply their work to their own life haha
In my country, there's a saying: "en casa de Herrero, cuchillo de palo", which means "in the house of a blacksmith, the knife is made of wood"
@@Darkxculo in Portugal the same:”Em casa de ferreiro, espeto de pau”
The children of a cobbler have no shoes.
We have it here something like: The shoemakers shoes always have a hole. And when I was a postman, where the signn said electro mechanic, I didn't even tried the bell, a knew it doesnt work...
In the 50s we had this type of doorbell at home, much simpler but working with the same principle. It sounded very clear and could be heard from far away. This restoration brought back good memories for me.
I'm just in awe at all the tools and machinery needed to restore something so simple. Not to mention the learning acquired in how to use all these tools. I love restoring old things and saving them but this makes me depressed I'll never be able to.
I've been following you for a while at this point, and after watching a couple of other restoration channel videos I now realize how much you've spoiled me. I love how thorough you are, and how you share with us each problem and solution. Also, the way you lay out all the pieces before and after they are cleaned up makes for a very cohesive narrative. I never wince while watching you work, and no other restoration channel makes me literally drool, so 🌟
Wow, thank you
Yeah, no comparison. He never takes something that is destroyed and just sands it til it’s 0.125 the thickness and then just skips steps. Just good, unique, quality through and through.
Mind totally blown. By the quality of the restoration, and also by the fact that that simple piece of engineering from circa 1900 still somewhat works. Humans are amazing.
In 1900 that simple piece of engineering was NOT so simple. Humans were amazing back then....and let s say they still are!
If we would still put this much time and effort for simplest of things, everything would be almost indestructible.
this simple piece of engineering is still delivering thousands of tattoos a day all over the world.
we've come a long way. Thank you very much :-)
Beautiful, as always. I appreciate that you went back and fixed the error instead of just editing the video to make it appear that it worked the first time 👏 bravo!
The TRUE restoration MASTER. There's just simply no way a human being can get more precise and better than this.... so subscribe
OMG...I thought the center core was wood when you started sanding! WOW! Beautiful work as always!
Iron tree.
Same here
100 years of rust
It's an electromagnet, so the core should be made of a ferromagnetic material (e.g. iron) to work. It would still be an electromagnet with a wooden core, but much weaker, probably won't be strong enough to pull the arm.
@@tamasporcsin3122 To be honest I didn’t know the magnet would need to be so powerful on this thing
The wait has been rewarded! As always immediately watched the video with the whole family, this is starting to become a tradition. Fun and incredibly detailed, very educational! Good luck with the preparations for the next video, we are looking forward to it.
Love your tradition, keep it up ;-)
It is so surprising to see that even more than 100 years ago German manufacturing was so good. here in Pakistan quality of products are so low that they don't even last a year.
Hats off to you for doing excellent job to restore that precious antique bell.
Nice to hear that, thank you very much :-)
I have been cradling my daughter for a few videos in a row and she's been content and i believe was falling asleep to the quiet sound of your videos until this one. I did not expect you to use the door bell and before I could reach for the volume I had a flailing baby. Damn near scared the crap out of her. gave me and the wife a good giggle. She's off now to chill with mum for a bit.
Haha, sorry for that :-)
This is probably my favorite restoration. Finding the newspaper pieces was like opening a time capsule. Then when he added the paper denoting the year and restorer, it was like making a new time capsule. The only thing I would have done different would have been to put the old newspaper back in with my note.
This I would not do. I preferred the fact that he preserved the newspaper in perspex.
@@araucariapasquale1 I agree
I was too afraid to do that, because the old one was very brittle.
I watched this in 144p just to make sure it's still as good.
I wish he had your sense of humor!
Sounds like a tiktok comment
@@thomasmuecke2431 MM does have a great sense of humor, he usually doesn't bother in his videos as he did in this one. And if you are wondering where the humor is, it was his et voila moment when he 'tried it and it didn't work'.
Your socially distant shop floor trash looks great in any resolution - the stuff you pull off is awesome too!
🤣👍 hope you could see anything in 144p
Perfect English, German bell, German craftsmanship, Japanese saw, I like it
Amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this process. It will last the next 200 years.
I had to wait a couple of days to watch this so I could find a quiet, uninterrupted time to fully enjoy your meticulous work and it was definitely worth the wait. Thank you for sharing your impressive skills!
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Same! Always want to make sure I have time to sit and watch start to finish, uninterrupted.
Your work is as meticulous and precise as a “ Swiss watch”. I’m absolutely spellbound by your restorations.
Nice to hear that, thank you :-)
After I Come home stressed out, this is the Best therapy ever. It has a healing Power. I love that you also show your mistakes. Beautiful work.
Your skills are astounding. I know absolutely nothing about restoration of anything. But watching the care you take, the time, the precise measurements ....it's hypnotizing. I truly enjoy your videos.
This may sound funny, but this actually has to be my favorite restoration you've done so far. I know it's just a doorbell, but everything that went into it was just absolutely fascinating. Well done!
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Such a beautiful restoration, and so much care was given to each part.
He's a genius!
Thank you guys so much for this 😁😁
The frame, the coils, the armature, the spring... The lasting beauty of this design lives on in the majority of tattoo machines in use to this day.
Yep😁
Yes true ;-) Glad you like it!
That's why the earth can't be flat... There's no sharp edges! Amazing as always 🎥🍿🇨🇭
You are an artist. I hope you are making a living off of this. Amazing, and thank you for leaving in the end part with it not working. Bravo
The attention to detail of this dude is extraordinary!!! You scratch my OCD all on the right places, man!!! Keep it up! I only wish that we see videos more often, but I realize how much effort goes into making one of these and that it is not possible. I wish, though...
9:43 WOW I had no idea the cores were metal! I thought they were wood. Great result, as usual!
You're not the only one 😉
love watching these videos when i just need to relax and focus on something nice. i grew up in an old town and was often surrounded by antiques. it makes me feel like i’m reliving my childhood seeing these restorations.
This was truly the most enjoyable video to watch.
Amazing restoration work, I envy your ability and dedication to this piece of amazing work.
This is the only restoration channel that I have found that stays true to the original object being restored. I am always in awe about the respect shown to what is being restored. Thank you for taking us along with you, and thank for not buffing everything to a mirror finish :P
yup, the rest try and copy him. he is THE best.
Thanks so much for the support
man you might just have the finest restoration videos anywhere. your dedication to detail and well executed solutions are state of the art. nice shop btw.
Really appreciated, thank you very much!

your video's are a great way to relax before bed.
Preserving those old pieces of newspaper in acrylic was very thoughtful... liked that very much! Impressive work, as usual! 👍
This channel is the gold standard of restorations.
many restoration channel would lose subs if you put MM as the standard for it. lol
Your technical knowledge, fine craftsmanship, and good taste are astounding. There is so much expertise and knowledge on your part, yet it is so relaxing to sit here watching you and pretend we are doing it ourselves. Thank you and Bravo!!!!!!!!
Absolutely fascinating! You used at least 97% of the original material. You are a joy to watch.
I love how he shows even the small mistakes and corrections, love this channel so much! 💜💜
Thank you so much for your support :-)
Just amazing. As one of your first 100 subscribers, I must say that you are still rule. The quality of your restorations are getting even better and better. I find such an inner peace watching your amazing Videos. This is by far the best channel on CZcams or anywhere else. May you have huge success and become the happiest billionaire in the world. You deserve it, my friend.
haha thank you very much for your support and your nice comment! much appreciated!
Thank you for showing how you missed the paint initially. It makes these videos feel much more real
Gollllllly! Look at all the tools you used! Amaaaazing! Not just any old repair! Well done mate. Only YOU could do it! ❤️🦘
Glad you enjoyed it
Прекрасная работа
Не думал что так много труда потребуется
На такой звонок в доме с газом лучше не использовать 😄⚡️
My favorite content on YT. I’ve really enjoyed watching your channel grow and seeing the quality improve over the last 3 years. This restoration is a work of art.
Wow, thank you!
I learn so much from your videos. The word "chamfering" being my personal favorite from this video, but also electroplating tips and metal bending tricks. Amazing work, that bell went from ugly to gorgeous!
Nice to hear that, thank you very much :-)
Alles sorgfältig entkratet und mit feinsten handwerklichem geschick restauriert, ich als Konstruktionsmechaniker sage dass es ein gutes Video geworden ist👌🏼
Обожаю смотреть на работу этого мастера!
Даа, он такой на ютюбе один
У меня вопрос. Зачем восстанавливать старые электроприборы? Ими никто не будет пользоваться. Если только для музея.
@@petrov1317 мне кажется такой звонок будет очень круто повесить мома и сейчас
@@user-hp8uy3gk2f могу предположить, что через несколько дней вы снимете его и уберете куда подальше. Слишком уж пронзительный звук он издаёт.

Leaving a note to your future grandson for another restoration is really wholesome.
It’s amazing how much I enjoy these videos. Thanks My Mechanics. Your content is a rare gem on this hellish CZcams landscape.
I was actually yelling at the computer for you to ring the bell at the end, I thought you were going to leave us hanging lol! Great job, beautiful restoration! Simple and elegant. That brass bell and walnut are amazing. Thank you!!
Simply superb - as a slightly OCD person, I thoroughly appreciate the absolute attention to detail - a real pleasure to watch!
This was such a beautiful restoration to watch, in all its relative simplicity. Your attention to detail, and the very finely tuned sense of balance between saving and scrapping... it's absolutely extraordinary. Love it.
Thank you very much for your nice comment! Glad you like it…
I cannot believe I just spent 25 minutes watching some one restore a DOORBELL.
Yet I regret nothing.😀
