If you drain the old electrolyte out of the battery, flush it with distilled water, then refill it with fresh electrolyte, there is a high probability that it will work again. It's worth a try.
She looks like she has seen the Seven Seas. I like unusual lanterns like this. Makes for an interesting restoration subject. Well done, and yes, brass deserves to be displayed in its natural glory.
Ever heard of a thing called planned obsolescence? It started when a bunch of major lightbulb manufacturers got together and agreed they would make their lightbulbs last much shorter, in order to make more money. They also bought out all the smaller companies that didn't go along with them to dominate the market. Lightbulbs used to last forever. That's a bit of an exaggeration of course, but yes, I don't know when these lightbulbs were made before then, but it's not impossible.
I am not that familiar with maritime artifacts but that is a beautiful old piece and good that you saved it. Amazing that the original light bulbs still operate. Excellent work!
Beautiful job of restoration! I have an old sailing ships lantern that used whale oil and was hoisted up the tallest mast at night. I won't sell it! It's a thing of beauty to. Wonderful job on the old battery too.
I really enjoyed watching this video as old electrical items are of particular interest to me, and details on SAFT and their connection to French railways especially so. Thank you for your excellent videos. Best wishes from Oxfordshire, Uk.
This is like the sixth restoration RUclipsr I’ve watched and everyone of them polish the brass. I personally love the look of antiqued brass it’s character. And I know everyone has their own person taste. I just can’t believe that of the hundreds of videos and several restoration RUclipsrs I’ve watch not one has left the natural patina.
Yes I absolutely love brass brightness, as well as fresh, bright copper and all highly polished metals. I'm planning to buy a polishing wheel for the bench grinder at the plant just so I can make a few things shiny after watching so many awesome restorations
S.A.F.T. must have made excellent cases for their batteries: I expected this one to have been eaten through by the acids that appeared to have leaked out, but as your shot at the end shows, the case is still in splendid condition. Nice job, will be watching more of your work 👍
The ones who down voted this are other restoration Chanels this was awesome and skill and creativity is always involved in any restoration. Thanks for sharing
Very nice work. I like the fact that you don't needlessly change things for the sake of it, and only when required (ie, the battery). A lot of people would have tried to add USB charging, LiIon batteries, LED's etc. I would not have liked that. So thank you for keeping what you can intact. I just wish things were still made this well.
En tant que marin , je peux te dire que t’as restauré un feu de mouillage ( destiné à prévenir les autres bateaux que t’es au mouillage et donc non manoeuvrant ) . J’en ai restauré un aussi , d’origine allemande d’environ 20 cm de diamètre et 45 cm de haut fonctionnant au pétrole . Tout le système intérieur était en cuivre . Bravo pour ton boulot . La lentille de Fresnel est comme neuve .
4:26 Funny thing is, "Saft" in German means "juice" and can also be used to mean "electricity" just like in English, so a battery company named S.A.F.T. is named pretty appropriately :D
... видел я такой фонарь у соседа, он с ним ездит на рыбалку, а сам работает на железке обходчиком , но ты не реставратор, а реаниматор- даёшь вторую жизнь мертвым вещам!, молодец!, здоровья тебе и удачи!!!
Très bien. Beaucoup de travail je suis sûr... Pour les chaînes de restauration, le challenge est souvent de trouver des objets intéressants / originaux... Good luck
Very nice restoration work... Reminds me of the old railroad lanterns that I like. I am surprised that the lens was in such nice shape. It would certainly have been quite visible from afar. Well done!

Nothing more relaxing than watching someone's fingers move steadily toward a saw blade 😁
Ha.... Ha ...
U can put your finger into a saw blade😂😂😂
Please use push sticks near saw blades. That segment made me as nervous as a cow with a buck-toothed calf.
He will have a close call or worse and then he will realise. It happened to me and i dont go anywhere near it now
I was so tense!
If you drain the old electrolyte out of the battery, flush it with distilled water, then refill it with fresh electrolyte, there is a high probability that it will work again. It's worth a try.
I believe it had holes in the battery casing.
Being that I am 82 years old , happy to hear old things never die ...lol

I actually really like seeing and learning about old batteries. That was a nice bonus.
I was shocked that the bulbs still worked after all that time. You made it into an art piece! Really beautiful.

This is why I love antiques so much. Older things were made to last.
They never die 😂
OLD THINGS NEVER DIE! YES INDEED! YOU are MAGNIFICO! I love seeing haw you work. Thank you!
I am not that familiar with maritime artifacts but that is a beautiful old piece and good that you saved it. Amazing that the original light bulbs still operate. Excellent work!
Old incandescent bulbs are incredibly resilient things, especially running at low currents.
Your comment about the quality of French workmanship is on the mark, you just proved that! Tres bien and thank you.
素晴らしい修理技術です。物がよみがえるのは、嬉しいです。作った職人さんの顔が浮かぶようです。すばらしい。
👍Pour une belle restauration ! Surtout, retrouver et refaire des fils à « ancienne » pas évident de retrouver les pièces ! Très bien
I have found this channel and I am again down the rabbit hole of wonder and appreciation for your talent.
Хорошая работа Мастер.Молодец.Хорошо ты разобрался с блоком питания.Радуют лампочки..еще работают...не ожидал..Лайк
Beautiful job of restoration! I have an old sailing ships lantern that used whale oil and was hoisted up the tallest mast at night. I won't sell it! It's a thing of beauty to.
Wonderful job on the old battery too.
J'adore tes restaurations !
Fantastic job 👏👍👌🙌😀💪
J'aime bien voir le laiton miroiter aussi. You did a grand job. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the history lesson. It helps tell the piece's story.
That was a beautiful restoration. I was quite surprised that the glass was still intact. 👏🏻
I love the little pieces of humor you slip in. Please keep letting us watch your skill.
"Old Things Never Die" Title of next James Bond film.
Love watching you work.
I love it an i like these kind of lamps. 👍
Beautiful Job ! Great adaptation for the no longer obtainable battery 😀
definite like 👍
I really enjoyed watching this video as old electrical items are of particular interest to me,
and details on SAFT and their connection to French railways especially so.
Thank you for your excellent videos. Best wishes from Oxfordshire, Uk.
Great first video. But it's also amazing to see how much better you have become in the last 3 years. Keep it up❤
Thank you. Maybe I should restore my first restoration, I had made many mistakes on this one 😅 😉
@@OldThingsNeverDie- practice makes perfect. You should keep it exactly as it is 😁
That is absolutely GREAT!
Sand blasting part is the most satisfying part to me.
Oh yes, same here!!
Isso é muito relaxante e satisfatório! Adoro ver o capricho e cuidado com os detalhes. E o barulhinho de tudo, sem música, é perfeito!
The french quality is not a real compliment when we galk about french cars, but the quality of the restoration is superb!
Nice done!

It’s about the views. The bigger transformation, the more popular
Yes I absolutely love brass brightness, as well as fresh, bright copper and all highly polished metals.

Fantastic restoration 👍👍👍👍 I just subscribed to your channel. Woo Hoo.
S.A.F.T. must have made excellent cases for their batteries: I expected this one to have been eaten through by the acids that appeared to have leaked out, but as your shot at the end shows, the case is still in splendid condition.
Nice job, will be watching more of your work 👍
You had more commentary in your older videos. Can you bring that back 😅please? Straight up magical.
Not only are the restorations really interesting but the cinematography and audio is actually really great too!! Nice work!
For the first time, this is 10/10. But in reality it's 8/10. Good job!
Hope you'll give me a real 10/10 next time 😄
@@OldThingsNeverDie- Yes I will. 👍 🇬🇷
i like it so much 👍😊

Very good combination between your fun part that gives a less serious touch to the restorations. Flawless result 👍👍🌹

It is perfect. You are the best. Greetings from Brazil.
Very nice result indeed, those old French bulbs were amazing, well done mate!
I was sure they would be dead, well no 😉
There isn't anything like a good sand blaster. Color looked great, well done.
mil gracias por el video señor.

That's the game, thank you anyway 😉
Very nice work.
I like the fact that you don't needlessly change things for the sake of it, and only when required (ie, the battery).
A lot of people would have tried to add USB charging, LiIon batteries, LED's etc. I would not have liked that.
So thank you for keeping what you can intact.
I just wish things were still made this well.
Beautiful, what a unique lamp!
Un excellent travail monsieur !
Nice work man,that is true,,

Nice job. I remember those big batteries, they lasted forever but weighed a ton!
I like the idea of neon color. Perfect for a blackout
yahhhh you did it ! Fantastico !
Beautiful is that, Buddy, lovely work, as usual. That is gorgeous looking ship Lamp! 🤟👍👍
Good restoration, I liked a lot 💡💡💡💡😅😅😅😅
Okay, I come from a long line of woodworkers and I've never seen anybody pull a plane before. I'm impressed.
Thanks, you didn't know japanese plane ?
@@OldThingsNeverDie- No, I have not seen one before. It's good to learn new things!
You may enjoy Ishitani Furniture videos. Very nice work with no chatter.
Also Kobeomsuk Furniture, hypnotic channel.
Amazing 🤘☺️
You deserve much more followers, every restoration is a skilled masterpiece…..

Отлично! Хвалю!
Très bien. Beaucoup de travail je suis sûr... Pour les chaînes de restauration, le challenge est souvent de trouver des objets intéressants / originaux... Good luck
Merci. Justement, je suis en train de restaurer le prochain objet, et je ne l'ai encore jamais vu sur youtube, j'espère que ça plaira 😉👍
Más que un móvil economista, se adivina un gusto por la retauración. La ganancia, tu trabajo te ha costado. 👌👍🇪🇸
Wonderful job!! Your videos are great!
