Elaine's Childhood Mary Lou Washer Gets Restored
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- This Mary Lou Tin Plate toy washing machine was the childhood toy of one of my subscriber's Elaine, who contacted me to restore her favorite toy from many years ago. She sent it to me and didn't want it back but she just wanted a photo of the restored toy so I thought I would do a video on the restoration. I have restored another one of these on my channel but this one had a broken part I had to re make with some magic. Enjoy.

Excellent restoration, she'll definitely enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.
As an enthusiast of vintage washing machines, I can tell you ve done a great job!
Thank you very much!
I was watching anxiously to the end, it broke my heart to see you remove the original paint... But, you put all the decorations back on! Such a relief to see something so important to someone once come back to factory new. Great job. 😊
I felt the same about the paint, and then relieved when the decals came out... Still would have left the old paint on personally, but decals did look good and fresh with the new paint job
So well made and you did a great job. Someone with a 3D printer could make a new lid
I could not imagine a more heartwarming, fitting video reply to a request like this one. Well done, good sir! My hat's off to you!
My name is Mary Lou didn't know this existed thank you for doing the wash machine I enjoyed it alot good job
Thanks for watching!
Great restoration Martin but please regardless of what Elaine said in her letter this should be returned to her as holds lots of child good memories. My guess is Elaine didn’t want to put you out by asking you to return it. I’m sure 99.9% of your subscribers would love to see this returned.
Great job again Martin always look forward to your restorations 👍👍
Very good!!!! brand new Washer.
Thank you Martin I love watching your videos I am from South Africa
An excellent restoration. I'll bet Ellaine will be stoked with the result... WELL DONE!!! 10/10
Cool toy. One tee-shirt would overload it, but you could wash an entire week's worth of Barbie cloths.
I'm having a deja vu here 🤔
An awesome restoration sir as always 🤗👍👍👍👍👍
Best Regards
Yeah I had to look at his videos and he did one about 5 months ago.
That toy washer is built better then some real washers made today.
Excellent work Martin, beautifully restored!
Good restoration work! I hope you sent it back to her.
Elaine will be pleased, looks great Martin.
Nicely done Martin. Thumbs Up for sure...
Beautiful job Martin. Well done
When you sandblasted the original design off I was like omg no but then when you put them back on my jaw dropped! this was amazing!!!
A FABULOUS transformation!!.. And it still works too!! Looks all ready for the next Laundry day!!
Great job. It's adorable.
Great restoration video.
Like always what a great restore and nice work.
Keep up the great vids looking forward to the next one.
Great video Martin. Another first class job, looks great and another saved.
Cheers, Jeff.
Unparalleled Top video !!! Great Job Martin !!! I just love it ..... !!!!! Greetings from the Netherlands...!

Nicely done as usual!
Just another perfect restoration, Martin. We have come to expect nothing else.
Wow! You are so clever ❤

Another restoration very well done Martin, I'm sure Elaine is thrilled with the result. 👍👍👍
Thanks bud

Aww that is so cute. I wish I had a little washer like that when I was a kid ☺️☺️
Amazing work. Again, the attention to detail is incredible.
Once again Martin, you are a wizard!! Amazing mate 👍
Possibly sand cast the lid and pour clear Epoxy? Love these resto videos!!
Thats an awesome job. Would be great to see a retro lawn mower fully restored 1 day.
Another great restoration Martin,I look forward to seeing the next one.
Martin “ Lazarus “ Butler....... loved this one Martin. Great job as always ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks Tom
I already thought I had a dejavue ;-)
I saw the difference ..... it's a different washing machine :-)
How can you always be so sure beforehand that you can put some connections after disassembling back together. Fantastic!
Magical things happen in your garden shed :-)
Good work Martin !
Thanks Bernd
Nice, Martin!!!
Great job there again martin
Thanks Roy.
Wow!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Nicely done, sir. Like the colors and decals.
Love the decals!
C'est un plaisir de vous regarder restaurer l'histoire, ils ne font plus de jouets comme ça
Beautiful job.
It's always nice to have a backup in case power goes out. Is there a matching dryer? Seriously, your craftsmanship is supreme.
Just WOW👌
Good to see your taking precautions against the Corona Virus!
Sharp looking paint!!
👍🏼 Good job Martin
This one is pretty dang good shape ... last one I saw was unrecognizable...
Love these vids mate. Relaxes me after a hard days work.
That is SO wholesome
Yet again a fantastically good restoration from the master restorer Martin, all the best mate, from BIG TIM
Thanks Tim
oh so cool
Hi Retro Hax 👋👋👋 good to see you 🤝🤝🤝 I haven’t seen you for a long time. Awesome restoration children’s washing machine 👍👍👍💣👌🏽✌🏻
Thank you
superb job .
Could do with a new washer!!!! Great great job martin !!!!! Wished you would talk through it ........🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I talk on my Retrorestore channel
wow, that was amazing.
Great job ! I'm curious to know how you restored the plastic cover. Looked pretty yellowed and rust-stained. Was it enough to just wash it ? Or did you have to use some special stuff ? Aside from the crack, it looks almost like new now.
Just washed it and scraped off the rust with a sharp blade.
wow fantastic Martin top job pal :)
This toy I wouldn't repaint most of it. Just lightly remove the rust and clear coat since the original graphics are still good. That top part needed work. The working mechanics would be repaired to make it operate again, but that's it.
Love your videos you are freakin awesome
Great job again .
Cheers Pete
It works probably better than my washing machine.
What is the music selection used during the sandblasting segment?
Thank you to Elaine for providing us with the toy washing machine and another great restoration from Martin. Is this going onto your grand-daughter Martin or onto the display shelf?
It will be put in the collection Barbara with all the other stuff.
Things were so much nicer back then, OK there is now a typecasting going on where stuff is aimed at "1950'ising" female children but this sort of gem actually worked and kids could wash their dolls clothes or the action man clothes and for the cost of some batteries and washing powder taught kids how to use the real thing too.
Of its time and innocent enough...🇬🇧👍
Wonder what manufacturer this might have been based off of. Nice restoration !
Love it , why not auction it on eBay ?.
I just resubscribed to your channel because I have a new tablet.
Thanks Paul
My wife’s is in the shed, it’s in much worse condition than that one. Nice job btw.
I am just curious as it seems like it would be right up your ally, Have you thought about doing a heavy nickel plating then polishing it to resemble chrome?
Yes I have looked in to it
Brilliantly done. Enjoyed it more than Elaine I'm sure. Lol
Mine's drum could have a bit if de-rusting... other than that mine works perfectly and never ended up as badly damaged as this! Did you know that these work with water? Edit: Nevermind, just saw u repaired another one
Brilliant Job, you are a domestic god Martin :)
Quite a job just getting this apart... Looks like a lot to this...
One thing that helps you in this restoration job is that this washer is in fairly decent original shape...
Superb job again Martin, do you have To scan the original artwork for those decals or is it available elsewhere 👍👍
I had to scan them.
@@RetroHax thanks Martin, it would make a good video showing the artwork process scanning etc, they look so good I reckon people think you buy them 😂😂 keep em coming bud
Didn't you already do one of these a few months ago?
I did one last year with a red top.
Get a pair o ur budgie smugglers into it and let’s see how really good it is 😂
Vintage whirlpool right
Elaine, you did not get the photo, you got a great video
Hello, just discovered your site today(3-7-20). Excellent work. One question sweetheart, where are your gloves? Rust is nasty! =) Also the blue you painted the tub with is gorgeous. What's the color numbers. Looking to paint a car. Thanks again for excellent work.
I do wear gloves but not in this video. The blue is a powder coating so you couldn't paint a car with it.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your restorations but that was gnarly awesome, it begs the question, did you send Elaine a photo, or did you send her the photo and the restoration (also charging for P&P, use of electricity, powder coating, decals, man hours etc etc)?
I noticed when you were powder coating you were wearing a mask, is this for H&S or do you think powder coating is the cause of the Corona virus? we need to know, you could be on a big earner here.
I use common sense , not H&S lol
@@RetroHax Common sense! wow, very few of us know what that is.
There is actually something you can do about those cracks, provided it's either plastic or acrylic. You can drip superglue (cyanoacrylate) into the cracks, and it will help disguise them. Won't really fix them, but they're less noticeable that way.
i've tried that before, this plastic was too brittle to attempt it.
@@RetroHax Gotcha. I hadn't really thought about how brittle it might be. Also for older plastics like that you can give it a peroxide bath under a uv light to restore that yellowing away.
That's amazing Martin well done.. How old is it?
About 60 years old.
This is the second one you done isn't it , you'll be getting a call from Hotpoint soon Martin 😉👍
Yes it is Pauly, the first had a red top.
Is this a reupload? I swere I've seen this before
No, I did another one last year but the top was red on that one.
@@RetroHax oh I knew I'd seen it before. It's brilliant that you restored it! Looks amazing!
Top quality video as always Martin, but what does Sharon feel about you getting a charming letter from another bird??
Just joking mate, best regards from that geriatric Yorkshire fart in Ireland.
Please sharpen your drill bits!
Cool restore otherwise.
I always seem to pick out the blunt ones lol
A lot to sandblasting this as well...
Brilliant Job, you are a domestic god Martin :)
