Looks great! I especially like how you used a proper pipe hanger and not just some band strapping to hold up that heavy vent. I would've replaced the galvanized with no hub fittings but that's mainly because you can't get those threaded drainage fittings locally near me and they are very expensive online.
The pipe above was too heavy for plastic so I used metal so it would not break, if I was replacing a large section I would do plastic but in this case I was not.
I think they originally used some sort of linseed oil mixture but in the 50s they probably just used pipe dope. Teflon tape did not become popular till the 70s. You can solder soft copper to a normal fitting, if it is under a slab you should braze it.

Cool that would pass inspection in Massachusetts.
thanks for sharing
Why not just put no hubs in and then use pvc or abs for the repair?
Looks pretty clean 👍

Egg on my face! I posted that and then a few seconds later you explained it in your video 😅
Did they use Teflon tape and pipe dope back then as well? Also one can soldrr soft copper into a notmal copper fitting?
