Rusted Antique Kitchen Scale - Restoration
Hello! How are you doing?
In this video i show to you how to restore a rusted antique kitchen scale, the brand of this little tool is Bender, unfortunately i couldin't find informations about this brand.
This little scale have 50 Years old and was used to mesure foods but not with precision.
I started disassemble with a iron saw just to unlock the screw, i didin't have ani tool that fits that place where the screw was.
After that i use my plier to open the locks on the base but as you can see i had to drill a hole to remove the weld that hold the dish.
I also make a hole to remove the mechanism.
Now i could remove the iron case that protects the mechanism.
After the case and the base removed i begin disassembly the rusted mechanism, which was very rusted.
To remove the rust and the old paint i made electrolysis, if you want a tutorial video about this process just take a look on the channel videos.
I let all the pieces in electrolysis for 6 hours, is enough time to remove all the rust and paint.
I also brushed all the parts and washed them.
You could see there are a lot of sharpen edges, so i use a hand drill with a rotative file to remove those sharpen edges.
After this step is done i use my bench grinder to brush all parts and smooth the surcafe of the pieces.
Now with all parts brusheds i can paint them, to paint i used 2 coats of Primer and 2 coats of Retro Green.
I gave a special touch to the screws polishing them.
To the spring i use cold bluing to protect and prevent to rust again and let it set in the oil for one day.
I clean the logo brand just with water and soap and applied clear coat to protection.
And all is ready to assemble.
I assemble all the parts and put some screws on the weld dots to hold everything.
I didn't make a final test cause i don't knew how to regulate the scale.
The restoration ended well and i liked the result. What do you think?
