Hey Tony great video. It’s reassuring to see that I’m not the only one who’s project turns into multiple projects to complete the original project. It’s also interesting to note that when you went to your wood shop I thought I was watching a commercial but soon recognized your voice. It’s nice to see a face with the voice. I truly appreciate your videos. Thanks so much for your contribution to the cause
Wow a full shot of the "mystery man". It's always nice to be able to match up the face with the voice. I've heard the song "One Thing Leads to Another" (The Fixx 1983)
Hi Tony. Haha so many comments on seeing you on screen. Think you've been in screen before though most of the time is your hands moving about. Great idea to take apart the bells ridding of the rust inside. Sometimes I wonder if using automotive paint would be better and baking in with an oven. Can hardly wait for you to retire so you'll spend all your time (???) on vintage restoration. Nobody does it better than you and my set still impress me with it's blue glow on the faceplate by yours truly.
Yep I’m with you on the armor all! I buy the Maguires super shine - coating. It comes in a spray bottle and lets me soak things like wires and other hardened rubber/silicone/composite that are brittle. I kind of found out by accident years ago… That not only does it clean and shine but it can also really rejuvenate cracked and brittle rubbers… So they don’t continue to erode. And it can stop a lot of cracking before it starts. Kind of like oiling a guitar fingerboard or feeding dry and brittle woods with a light oil. Always love your content
love the thoroughness of your videos. You mentioned a new kitchen, does it make the food taste better? Both of my grandmas used gas ranges from the 1930's, everything was delicious! Its the cook not the appliance. With electronics you are a master chef.
Holy cow! Felt just like I had seen my favorite movie star in real life... Excellent... And about time Tony... I'm really happy that you choose to get in front of the camera as I'm sure that everyone else is also... This definitely needs to happen more often where practical... Oh! I almost forgot, great job on the transformers as well LoL... Cheers from down under mate...
Nice video, another way you can do this is dip the end bells into rust converter. Home depot has Krud Kutter Rustex that converts it to a grey paintable surface.
Tony. The Zoom recorder is a great idea. Most camera mics are pretty poor quality and are (usually) too far away w/too much echo. I also found that suspending it about the work area will pick up your voice and won't be jostled around.
Next time, try soaking them in distilled white vinegar. I have used this method to successfully remove rust on parts as well as small screws! Give it a try and let me know what you think.
You can also remove the rust by electrolysis using water, washing soda and 12 volt electric. If you aren't familiar with that, Google is your friend. Also, I just know that while you were cleaning with acetone and painting you were wearing your organic solvent respirator mask . . . :o)
Why didn't you pot the Transformers in hot silicone grease or wax give them protection from moisture permeating what would be present, and reduce acoustic vibration elimination, or at least spray winding with WD40. Would be nice to mount them with silicone grommets as well to give them mechanical isolation
Usually Canada and the US are pretty darn similar and so are products sold in them, but one weird teeny little difference I've noticed a few times is the labeling on chemical products. Up here they never seem to be coloured, and they have much more prominent warning symbols. My jug of acetone has a large skull and crossbones symbol and a large fire symbol on that take up a quarter of the front face. And of course they all have French text of equal prominence. Since acetone is spelled nearly the same in both languages (there's an accent on the first 'e' in French) it's basically just written twice. This is completely irrelevant. Things like this just make me chuckle a little bit. Clearly a product of some weird obscure regulation.
Looking good Tony! It's nice to have a face to connect with the voice. Great videos. Please keep them coming.
So nice to finally see how Tony looks. It always comes as a surprise how a face one imagines never goes along with the voice.
HI There! nice to see you ! looking forward to more great vids! from all you friends in-the UK England.

I like the shop work with you actually on camera instead of staring at test equipment all the time .I stare at it all day already lol.Great video Tony
Hi tony it’s nice to put a face to your fabulous videos
Mike
Good to see work in the shop. It's all a part of the "doing". Great video Tony, you definitely inspire!
Wow a full shot of the "mystery man". It's always nice to be able to match up the face with the voice. I've heard the song "One Thing Leads to Another" (The Fixx 1983)
Thanks Tony! Those transformers look like new! Good idea on the jig.
Great job, excellent prep work for the paint too!
Face reveal 😄
I had to chuckle when you accepted the inevitable restoration
Finally to see a face behind the voice :)
The man behind the pointer!
Wow, your work is just elegant. I love your demeanor!
Yes those wipes are great, I use them for all sorts of cleaning, never thought to use them on wires, brilliant idea!! Nice to see you Tony!!
Well hello Tony! Appearing in person - that's new
Wonderful shop, btw.
As a painter all my live I love lacquer thinner cleans anything and can prime with any Acrylic base primer.

Always love your content
Now having seen your face your great videos getting more personal;))) thanks for your work and experience sharing.
Nice job. Thanks for sharing. I am going to repaint my Quad II's now.
Nice job on the transformers. I see you're into a bit of woodworking and electronics, I'm much the same.
Cheers,
I had a shop clock like that at my first house. Left it hanging on the wall. 🤔🙄 Great video Tony!

another way to remove the rust is vinegar submerge them in a solution of vinegar for a few hours and that will go even deeper :)
This is where a sand or glass blaster would really help out. It would take about 15 minutes and do a very good job.
Yeah nice to see you man.
You bare a striking resemblence to an auto instructor I learned alot from, 20 years ago. His name is Tim R. :)
I am also my own evil twin. Great goatee. Amp looks great.

I would have suggested using a 5-7 day soak of the bells in a rust dissolver like Evapo-Rust.
Try Evapo Rust for the rust removal, it will amaze you.
I use it quite a bit. This was very loose surface rust. It came off very easily. Evapo rust would have been the next step! Thanks for the comment!

I can't remember if what you were doing with the caps. I'll go back and look at part 1. Did you order replacements from Hayseed?
I might have just clear lacquered those shiny bells..
You're a very handsome man!
I've used electrolysis on rusted components like this in the past, you might want to give it a try next time.
Sand blaster time?

There is only one way to do something and that is your way the right way
be nice to have a small media blast box
On my list!
some one get this guy a sand blaster lol
YES! He really needs a sandblaster!
Agree. If the government would know the rewarding feeling from sand blasting, they probable would put a tax on it.

We want it to be right... with Ohmite!

Sorry I know most people don't like spelling/grammar "nazis" but I wish you'd fix the spelling mistake in the opening crawl... "their" not "thier"...
