British Made Vintage Flashlight (Torch) Restoration

British Made Vintage Flashlight Restoration. I am sure you will enjoy watching the restoration of this rare and beautiful flashlight, which is rusty and has quite a few holes. Happy New Year...

[@Flavum]

If it's British, it's a "torch" rather than a "flashlight". Now you know. =) And a great job, by the way.

[@peterjf7723]

I was going to make the same comment.

[@Hotpack7279]

@@peterjf7723 There is a Auto-Translate activated. My German translated Headline is "A British Restored old Flashlight" . British restored must be extra Good i guess. ;)

[@Restomaniac]

Haha, ok 😊 Thank you 😊🤗

[@patjohnson3100]

Very nice restoration, carefully done. The rechargeable feature makes this flashlight better than new. An led bulb, which would fit without modification, would be brighter and reduce consumption on the battery pack. But I'm not complaining . It's an excellent job.

Thank you very much for your kind comments :) Happy new year.

maybe in another time, you would leave the reflector coating intouched, or consider to replate the mirror reflector.

[@UserUser-ww2nj]

Another of your great restorations , well done . Lots of comments about what the correct name is for it , some are correct about it not being a flashlight because its British but torch is not really correct either . Lamp would be a better name for it . Very useful with the swivel head to point the light where you want it if working on something in the dark . A usb socket would be a good addition for charging .
A happy new year to you all from Ukraine , its a bit late but then again we have another one in two days from now , the orthodox church Christmas

Ellerine sağlık kardeşim. Muhteşem oldu. Elektronik aksam için baya ince çalıştın. Bunların orjinalinde iç kısım nasıl oluyordu. Çok merak ettim. Ne kadar böyle video izlediysem hiç orijinal pil yuvasını göremedim. Baya ışık yaptı ama. Güçlü bir fener oldu. Ellerin dert görmesin İsmail'im. Selamlar saygılar.

[@imperialpresence3331]

modify a usb cable and make any off the shelf rechargeable power bank into a battery

[@teacheme]

Where's the charging point?

[@Restomaniac]

Although it is not visible in the video, I prepared the outlets for charging in the box.

[@mickwilson127]

Overall looks ok.
I would have however, nickel plated and polished the reflector, updated the old incandescent bulb for a LED COB unit, and used some potting compound or industrial heat shrink on that battery/charger combo

[@br14nn14]

fine, but how do you recharge the batteries?

Thank you 😊 Although you can't see it in the video, there are also outlets for charging in the box.

Szép munka, de Li-Ion akkumulátor helyett valamivel erősebb NiMh akkumulátor elemeket illetve elemtárat használtam volna. Így elemmel és NiMh akkumulátoral is működhetne. Plusz egy tartalék izzó is eltérhet az elem tár mellett.

Уважаемый мастер, судя по Вашему отражению в стекле фонаря, вы взрослый, умудрённый опытом мужчина.
Бесспорно, восстановление фонаря из состояния мусор, до состояния отличная винтажная вещица, это конечно очень здорово!
Но Ваше видео смотрят молодые люди. Так паять как Вы показали, это..... Без использования неприличных слов у меня не получится.
Если бы, так паяли у нас на производстве, то такого работника скорее всего уволили без выходного пособия, а возможно и линейкой по рукам били.

[@Restomaniac]

Большое спасибо за ваши добрые комментарии. Да ты прав, я всегда плохо паял. По крайней мере, у меня нет большого опыта пайки. Но я считаю, что люди могут совершенствоваться в любом возрасте. Большое спасибо и желаю вам счастливого Нового года.
