Ohhh Mr. The Fabrik, you really are the absolute tops at this, aren't you bud 😁. Excellent work, and a beautiful result. Brought a really nice feeling as well watching it bobble along in the water.

Hey thank you so much !!! Always touching to bring the memories back😌 I wasn’t sure I could make it when I opened it 😓 It works fine even if the rust will come back sooner or later…
Putting aside the amount of rust, the efforts you had to deploy to strip the paint including the lthographed markings, and open up the shell is an obvious testament to the amazing build (and mechanical) quality of Sutcliffe toys - with almost no part needing replacing!
Have you seen the box for these ?. it states that if the sub needs repair it can be posted back to the factory with 40p and the motor will be replaced and returned to the sender. If the repair is less than a replacement then it will be fixed and returned with the change !!!! Unbelievable.

I always wondered how they could possibly open it up and fix the rusty mechanism and what went on it there - now I know. Nowadays, I collect old toys and my Unda Wunda is still the most prized of them. So thank you for posting this lovely video.

Encore une fois - trop beau Fab!

I loved this, not only for the skill shown, but also because, back in the 1950s my parents bought me a similar submarine, a version of this styled on the Nautilus sub from the film “20,000 Leagues under the Sea”, a variation that Sutcliffe made. Hours of fun playing in the water-butt in the garden. I admire your skill and tenacity at fixing what I would regard as ‘hopeless’. Thank you for a blast down Memory Lane. And thank you that you always show your restorations working at the end. Toys are MEANT to be played with! Les in UK 🇬🇧
The good old days when paint was paint and toys were soldered and there was no sign of plastic. I LOVE seeing these old toys brought back to life. Well done.
Very lovely done! 😊👍👏👌 The ending scene where the submarine toy gets again in the water was for me a bit emotional… remember me a old rusty man gets rebirth after proper treatment… we all know living things die once but old toys can rebirth 🥹 Thank you for sharing! ☺️👍
This is just a suggestion and I'm not an expert on electronic pickling / electrolysis. I clean vintage cast iron cookware using this method. It is a line of sight type cleaning so the more sacrificial anodes you have around the tank the more thoroughly it will clean. I have sheet metal lining the inside of my tank and it does fine. Experiment with more anodes and see if your results improve. Love the channel.
Unda Wunda - 1932 to 1984 1932 saw the launch of one of Sutcliffe's most iconic clockwork steel toys, the Unda-Wunda. Sutcliffe's British competitors produced equivalent speedboats, some of them arguably better (although more expensive) but none of them produced a tinplate clockwork submarine... A DIVING submarine no less! And for 50 YEARS!
Can't belive you managed to salvage this wreck... I thought that the completely rusted engine was the death sentence for this ship, but you totally made it work again. Glad to see her sailing again, but in way less murky waters now ;)
Thank you Damien, I thought I couldn’t make it, after the opening. It sails fine but I feel like it’s still very fragile, and rust will come back… sooner or later. Thanks again for your support 🙏
I had one of these when I was about five. I always wanted to see inside it, so you have done me a great favour! It was great to see its characteristic porpoising through the water again. I can clearly remember sailing mine in in the intertidal pools on Ayr beach.1961or 62. What struck me from the restoration was how complex the manufacturing process was. It must have been hard to make a profit.
My Mum and Dad bought me one of these when we were on one of our annual holidays in the Isle of Man. Must have been 6 or 7 at the time so that makes it 1956 or 57. I took it on holiday for the next 2 or 3 years. Spent my time in the sea at Port Erin playing with it. Unfortunately a current washed it out to sea, never to be seen again! Brings back fond memories! Thanks for that!
The outside did not look too bad but when you opened it up it was completely rusted! It looks like it just came from the store and the painting is fantastic. You have so much talent and it is great to see you use it to save many things from the past. I always look forward to your tutorials. Thanks for sharing this.
Incredible quality toy - all parts either soldered or brazed. I had a Sutcliffe 'Nautilus', which, sadly, now lies deep in the silt of an extremely deep local pond. Knowing the build quality, it'll probably be found, almost intact, by archaeologists, in a few centuries time! Great restoration! Thank you. 👍👍👍
depending on the pond, it may have already been found by magnet fishers. like myself. though ive never found anything that cool. all i seem to find is junk and old fishing hooks.
@@nyotamwuaji6484 - I lost mine in about 1975. The pond is an old brick clay pit, and it was known to have been at least forty feet deep at one end. One end was shallow, but it shelved off really deep after about ten feet or so. It was fed by a spring, and the water was always icy cold. In the late 1990's, the Town Council made the area the pond is in, into a park, and ruined a lot of it by making it 'safer': a very long mudslide, enjoyed by thousands of kids over the years, had steps cut into it. A hazardous path over the edge of a sandpit (about 25-30 feet up), which again had been used as a test of nerve by generations of kids, was methodically cut away. The remains of this were dumped into the pond, making it a good deal shallower, and burying my 'Nautilus', (which had gone down in the deepest part), forever. 💀💀💀
@@TheFabrik - It was an awfully long time ago - I was about 13 when I lost it, in the viciously hot summer of 1976, where sitting in icy cold fresh water, from a spring, was a good idea, and I was playing with the sub. It went down... And did not return. The pond (which was part of an old clay quarry) was about 40 feet deep in the middle: I had swum in it, and couldn't see the bottom. A few weeks ago, I was 60. I think I can leave my Nautilus to rest now. A really fun toy, though. (sigh). 🤬🤬🤬😆😆😆
thank you for a wonderful vid...... i personally dont like to be around people who dont get their hands dirty working..... blue collar myself..... and you have great hands Sir...........
Absolutely amazing, you are VERY skilled. I don't think you could find anything comparable today that would be MADE IN ENGLAND. It would probably be from China.
I had one of these Sutcliffe clockwork submarines when I was a kid. It worked pretty well. I don’t think they were finished that well from the factory. Ha ha
I've read from a Time magazine about a Vietnam War veteran who pointed a combat rifle towards 2 Park Rangers. The shell-shocked Vietnam War veteran John Gabron had a hard time putting his combat experiences behind him. He should've received government compensation. Did you notice that the U.S. Congress never sent one man or woman who was a former porn star as an American G.I. off to combat? Not especially back in 1964. They didn't even do such a thing back in 1953. When Marilyn Monroe was the first Playboy centerfold.
I can remember playing with my one of these back in the 70's, I think early to mid 70's. I had a big plastic "modern" type sub as well that was battery powered, but this clockwork marvel was the right size for bath time.

hi there, amazing ! i had one of these in 1963 as a child, it was green and called Nautilis, came in a lovely box, thanks for the memory of these subs, my mum got it for me, gave hours of fun in the bath and pool,kids today dont know what its like to play with toys
Amazing results that even works. However knowing water is going to find its way back into the insides will start the rust process all over again. But until it belly ups again, it is a nice workable display piece... Thumbs Up!
Excellent restauration as per usual. The basic body design seemed very similar to the Nautilus that you did. Were they made by the same manufacturer?. I remember my envy as a very small child in the late 50ies when I saw other kids playing with the very toy at the local wading pool. 😁

God forbid, I had one of those subs. A lovely toy but it did sink without trace in a pond. Next one was a four foot balsa kit sub powered by elastic bands. Never worked well but did cruise on the surface. Thanks for posting
Great work! What kind of putty did you use to fill the holes (why not soldering them)? And where did you get this great decals, did you make them yourself or can they be ordered? Merci!
Hi there. Thank you very much !!! The putty is JB Weld, though I could have used tin 🙌 I just took photos of original rusty labels then I reedited them on photoshop 👍
At 7.08 as a watchmaker I would reccomend that you should put in new bearings for the pivots, othervice the teeths of the gears will meet at the wrong angle and grind eachother to pieces. Othervice this was a nice video!
Great job, very sympathetic to the original, which is always a prime requirement when restoring. The periscope is better thant the one that came with the submarine, but I doubt whether that one was original. Great post, thank you.
Thats why I’m either getting a rc boat for a lake or if it’s a toy wind up submersible I,m never using it in water that goes for than two feet deep or a bathtub
You consistently provide A* content in all that you do! Thank you for not only restoring this grand toy submarine from last century - thank you also for sharing it with us. You craftsmanship is remarkable.
Happy to see this new upload. Reminded me of the Disney sub you previously restored. Good job! I noticed that your most recent vids are shorter but more interesting. Thanks for doing away with the tedious bits. But please do always show the electrolytic pickling process. I just love seeing the rust bubble up. :)

So many "restorers" commit resto-destruction, its nice to see someone who actually does a restoration, the proper way.

前回の潜水艦より、って言うか過去一番でゼンマイ動力部の損傷が激しかったから《如何すんだ？此れ！？》って思ったら、あぁ成る程スペアパーツが有るのね。
多分、外側は流石に修復不可能だけど、心臓部のゼンマイ動力部やその他諸々パーツは生きてて、取って置けるって物が実は沢山有る（有った）って事なのかな・・・。
そう成ると、復元出来た・復元して貰えた物達は運が良かったし幸せな事だよね。
would this toy survive if made of plastic?
Good question :) i want to say … no !
в тормозную жидкость надо было окунуть, все покрытие сразу разъест.

Great job, very sympathetic to the original, which is always a prime requirement when restoring. The periscope is better thant the one that came with the submarine, but I doubt whether that one was original. Great post, thank you.
Thank you !!
I’m sure I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again, your attention to detail in your restorations is amazing so impressive 👏👍🙂
Thank you very much !!
Excellent......brilliant......beautiful. 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
When toys were toys!
Thank you !!!
Compared to the Titan, this used more advanced technologies.
Thats why I’m either getting a rc boat for a lake or if it’s a toy wind up submersible I,m never using it in water that goes for than two feet deep or a bathtub
You should have honestly turned this into the yellow submarine from The Beatles.
You consistently provide A* content in all that you do! Thank you for not only restoring this grand toy submarine from last century - thank you also for sharing it with us. You craftsmanship is remarkable.
Thank you so much 🙌 I’m always doing my best. I’m glad you enjoyed.😌🙏
It looks happier somehow, like you gave it a brand new shot at life. 🌊
Comme toujours, un superbe travail de restauration. Merci.
Un grand merci !
The know-how, the craftmanship, i salute you!
Thank you 😌🙏
Happy to see this new upload. Reminded me of the Disney sub you previously restored. Good job! I noticed that your most recent vids are shorter but more interesting. Thanks for doing away with the tedious bits. But please do always show the electrolytic pickling process. I just love seeing the rust bubble up. :)
