Красота! Как же мне нравится ретро стиль! Даже шнур в оплетке и выключатель идеально подходят к лампе! Больше всего переживала, что трудно будет провести провода внутри, но все безупречно сделано! Стильно и функционально! Такие вещи надо выставлять на онлайн аукцион👍👍👍👍👍
A suggestion on the light switch; Usually those come with an additional locking nut that you install between the metal plate and the switch-body. This allows the switch to set lower in the lamp so you do not have exposed threads on the top. It also provides a means for you to tighten down the upper locking nut without compressing the switch body.
Another beautiful restoration, thanks for sharing this insightful video. Great use of red wire to pull new wires through the lamp head. Additionally, awed by your use of clear heat shrink tubing at potential friction points. You two kids are amazing craftsmen. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace
25 or so years doing lamp repairs for a living. I agree about the switch install: the hex nut goes under the opening. By turning it up or down, you can minimize the amount of threaded piece showing, making a more presentable appearance. I'm a great fan of heat-shrink tubing, but I usually used a heat gun for greater control, although I certainly used a mini propane torch on occasion. Using the old wire to pull a fresh piece as you demonstrate is the best way -- ease it through gently. I often used a length of beaded chain (pull chain) as a fish tape. All in all, a very nice job! I seriously envy your powder-coat capabilities!
Another fantastic restoration. At the beginning I thought that since this was just a humble desk lamp there couldn’t be much history. Once again you amazed me with the amount of history you uncovered for this all too common item that we have all just taken for granted.
Comment les choses paraissent simples à faire une fois qu'elles sont passées entre vos mains.....c'est absolument superbe, une très belle restauration. BRAVO!!!!!
A beautiful restoration of a lovely lamp! What a wonderful history of the lamp origins, I had no idea the first lamp of these were made here! Thank you and Bless you in all you do!
Thanks again for a wonderful restoration of this common but interesting simple bankers lamp. It was good to learn that the Americans actually made something unique and not copied from their European background. Thanks again for sharing this video. Your Texas friend Paul.
Radek, Another truly beautiful restoration! Your craftmanship and attention to detail is truly incredible! You raise the level of restoration to artisan. Your wife does such a wonderful job of presenting the finished products history and demonstrating it's use. Keep up the fantastic work.😻😻😻
Wonderful specimen! I also remember how the offices in old Banks had similar lamps with green glass domes as plastic was not a popular material at the beginning of the 20th century )
This waa a beautiful find and when I saw the beginning I thought it was too far gone, but as always your amazing skills saved the lamp and even turn it into new again. I realley enjoyed watching Radek, thank you very much. 👍👍👍
Great restoration. I don't envy you pulling those wires. I really do like how the light socket is made. The normal ones in the US are not so fancy or sturdy looking. Thanks and have a great week.
Прекрасная работа. Как всегда, получил удовольствие от просмотра Вашего контента. Вот только один момент: вверху, на выключателе, должна быть только декоративная гайка. А шестигранная спрятана снизу и регулирует нужный подъём тумблера над поверхностью подставки.
great restoration. a lamp worth bringing back to life again because of its historic value. On the toggle switch, the hex nut would go under the base and used to adjust how much the toggle sticks outside, you can get it flush to the surface with no threads exposed as a result. I love toggle switches and collect them to put them on lamps, motors and other things to make it look nicer and elegant.
Excellent restoration with your usual careful attention to detail. This lamp looks very elegant. I like the fact that you even restored the porcelain and brass socket. It would be easy for a restorer to simply throw the old socket away, but you went to the effort to rebuild it. Smiles and thanks from the USA.
What a beautiful lamp! I am interested to know more about how you removed the dents by using rollers on the lathe. Also I would love to see more about restoring the threaded brass rod holding the light bulb housing! Totally awesome job.
По фильмам с довоенным сюжетом запомнились лампы именно с зелёным абажуром. Видно, что лампа ремонтировалась. Как всегда превосходная работа - лампа выглядит очень актуально и вполне может служить не только как предмет в коллекции
Да, было выпущено бесчисленное множество ламп с подобным дизайном, но наибольшей популярностью пользовалась лампа с абажуром из зеленого стекла. Реплики делают и сегодня. Спасибо Светлана :)
I always enjoy your restoration projects. This lamp turned out lovely. Also thanks for the history you found about it and the history of the bankers lamp. I'd love to own an original.. haha. I missed watching you chrome the parts today. It always amazes me how that's done. Till next time., 👍👍♥️♥️💕
Wow. Thank you Radek and Veronica. We have one, somewhere in this big ol' house of ours and I need to look for it! Love the restoration and the explanation. Thanks for sharing this.
Beautiful job, there’s not much room for improvement other than the comment from Tisha Hayes about the switch and the additional nut. In restored a swing arm lamp last year. I was concerned about fishing the wire through all the joints. I saw a RUclips video where the person doing the work used a furniture paste wax on the outside of the wire to help it slide through the brass pipes. Worked like a charm. I don’t think it would work on the cloth covered wire though. My cord was the typical vinyl coated type. Thank you again!
Thanks for the positive comment and advice :) As for the switch, I've already explained it here several times. And yes, I put the switch nut wrong, but in the final it wouldn't have been possible otherwise. I searched in vain for the original "low" switch in my country, it is no longer produced. I got the one I used (I didn't want a plastic one) and it was tight enough, since the base is closed with a cast iron weight, so there isn't much room left inside. This switch was already bigger than I needed. Even the hinged pertinax plate did not reach the stop by about 1 mm on the side of the switch. Thanks for watching Jim :)
Buen día! No me cansaré nunca de decir que las restauraciones que llevan adelante son maravillosas! Mis felicitaciones para ustedes! Además, son sumamente interesantes las historias con que ilustran luego la presentación de la pieza terminada. Sigan así!!!Un fuerte abrazo desde Montevideo, Uruguay. German.

Well done Radek and Veronica, this was a very good restoration - and I understood everything! That's about the limit of my understanding of electricity but what a useful object.
Greetings from Petersburg! Great job, Radek. The lamp is convenient and very practical, it shines only where it is needed. I've seen these, only their shades were brass and polished to a mirror state or dark green. But yours is beautiful too. And Veronica too.
I love it it shines so bright!! Very nice restoration to a amazing desk lamp it looks amazing !! 👍👍I know I have said this before but I love knowing the history of the items you restore it makes it complete and it is so interesting to me thank you for that . Excellent work as alway's !! 👍👍
Excellent work! The only thing I would have done differently would be to pit a washer between the spring and the shade, to avoid the spring damaging the shade.

Да, у меня были сомнения по поводу протяжки шнура до последнего момента, т.к. внутри очень много острых краев, затрудняющих натяжку. Спасибо

This allows the switch to set lower in the lamp so you do not have exposed threads on the top.

Agreed. Only the knurled nut should be on the top of the base plate, the hex nut should be hidden underneath.

You two kids are amazing craftsmen. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace
Cute restoration. In addition, a shakeproof washer has been put between metal-plate and hex nut.

Beautiful authentic looking restoration. it all came out looking factory new.
The braided cable with bakelite plug was a beautiful finishing touch.
Thank you so much Sven :)
Beautiful restoration. And thank you for the history of it.
Thank you so much :)

Very nice desk lamp. The history was very interesting. While listening I wondered if the research took more time then the actual restoration.
We are a team. Me renovation, woman history 😉

Yes, Harry, it was a birth - pulling out wires, especially the old ones that someone had already left there... Have a nice day :)
Nice work! Love seeing old items made better then new.
Thank you Pit :)
