Restoration of a soviet coffee maker ※ Old espresso machine

This is not an ordinary coffee maker made around the 60s. Chrome-plated aluminum body, ceramic dry heater. The design feature is that the heater is not immersed in water, which means that there is no scale formation. The second feature of this design is that coffee is brewed with hot steam, not hot water.
I received the coffee maker in a bad condition. The chrome finish has deteriorated, the plastic parts are broken.
I started the restoration with cleaning from chrome. This time I decided to try aluminum color anodizing. To do this, you need to grow an oxide film on aluminum, then place it in an aniline dye, and finally close the pores by placing it in boiling water for 20 minutes. Well, polish it. Such a coating is very reliable and is not afraid of any impact.
I got rid of plastic parts by replacing them with wooden ones. I think you've seen the full process.
Hope you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and leave a comment.
