  • This is the most beautiful Army Lantern i ever seen.
    Was produced in France for Army in 1960 and was utilized for airplane signalization.
    As you can see this lantern was metallic gray but behind was green, i don't know why, looks like was made like that.
    This lantern was very oxidated and rusty. The two lenses were yellowish and blurred.
    I decidet to make green this lantern to mach the original color.
    Let me know what do you think about this restoration.

      Your current polisher is fine. You need a new start capacitor. If you change 1 out, change both so you don't have to later.

    The military was still using these in Germany in 1980/81. We got repair parts for them to keep them functional. They were heavy and bulky, but they did light well. I seem to remember the ones we had also came with red lens/lens covers for night operations. Nicely done, sir.

    I know sandblasting very well. I have done this with sand and glaspearls.
    You don't need a new grinder. It looks like there are a 3-phase motor putted to a 1-phase cable. If the L-wire on L1 and the neutral wire on L3, then you need a bipolar capacitor between L2 an L3. Capacity about 70 Microfarad. Then your grinder should run well.
    Btw: I am from germany, have the license to be a foreman and I'm working in a factory, who overhauling and retrofitting old grinding machines.
    I like your videos and waiting for new projects. Have a good time.

    Yours are consistently the most immaculate restoration results I see on RUclips. Always a joy! Oh, and your next grinder/polisher should be one you restore, of course!
