    Two things:
    1) Please use crimp connectors for the cables. It is much safer and faster!
    2) Add safety ground to your electrical appliances with metal housings. In this case the lamp even has a metal switch. Especially if you don't want to use crimp connectors!

    First: Very nice lamp you chose, good job on restoration. What I didn't see at first: You were not the first one to modify the lamp. The "on/off" switch was already missing on the lamp, instead it was put to the power cord. Good you brought it back like it used to be. Your switch installation looked dodgy when you started cutting the cord but went fine. You could've gotten bonus points by labeling "AN / AUS" instead of "ON / OFF". I'm not quite fine with the colour, and I guess you're feeling so too. It's too blue, the original was more green. I completely lost it when you signed your work with the marker. Good lord! Days and weeks of fine art and you choose a marker the size of Missouri to sign it? What the actual heck? Anyway... your work, your signage, well done, I like it a lot.

      @@TysyTube The ground wire should connect to the lamp's metallic (= conductive) exterior. The idea is that if a live wire gets dislodged and touches the exterior metal somewhere inside the lamp, a breaker or GFCI/RCD (= safety gadgets in the wiring in your home) will instantly cut off the power before you get a (potentially fatal) chock from it.

    This is extremely DANGEROUS as it has a plug which goes to earthed wall socket. There are no double insulations and the stress releaf is missing. Knot is not a stress releaf.

    I was gonna ask before watching the whole video about heat resistant paints. I have an old Luxo lamp that I've been meaning to take apart and repaint. I painted it before, but did a horrible job at it. I didn't even strip off the original paint. Although at the time that was because I didn't have the tools or facilities to do so. I want to take the whole thing apart and recreate it, making a few more lamps of similar size for use in the workshop I'll have when I move. Back to my first sentence, the lamp tends to get really hot when left on for a long time. The paint seems able to handle it, but the whole top section gets fairly hot. Would using a certain paint help fix this issue? or maybe using a different type of bulb?

    I come from Germany. And inside is the FIRST Date of manufacture and the SECOND Date was for repair or checking. In Germany you can give this Lamp to the Manufacturer and there check it for you. Therefore the second stamp inside!
    And the rounded stamp "GEPRÜFT" (checked); At that time you were allowed to sell electronic devices only if this stamp was inside. In Germany today it is the CE mark or TÜV mark that a device has been correspondingly tested for safety in use.

      It doesn't sound silly at all to me. I've started binge watching this channel and a few other restoration channels when I need to either relax or if I need to distract my brain from a pain episode. With the exception of the grinding, it's all quite soothing. So, no. Not silly to me at all

      I have adhesive backed felt, open and closed cell foam from .5 mil to 5 mil. I think I'd add a lead plate, the original gooseneck tends to move the base.

      Also you should of tied the power cord inside the base as strain relief, so people can't pull it out and put pressure on the internal connections.
      Great looking restoration otherwise.

    Another excellent restoration job, thank you. I have two comments that may be important, however. First, the inside surface of the reflector dome should be a matte finish, not glossy. This helps diffuse the reflected light and makes it much softer. While gloss white still works, matte (flat) white provides a nicer effect. I think that the original paint was matte, from what I can see in the video. Also, a knot should have been tied in the electrical cord before leaving the base. This will prevent the cord from possibly being pulled out of the connection to the switch. Even though the cord was soldered to the switch, it could still be ripped from it, with enough force. If this were to happen while the lamp is plugged in, the results could be bad, given that the lamp base is made of metal. Other than that, this is truly a nice piece.

    My favorite part is that you brought back the on/off switch. I guess at some point someone rewired it to have the clicker. Your replacement fits perfect

    I didn’t think this one needed repainting- just cleaning and replacing the broken plug. I might have replaced the light bulb socket, too, just for kicks.
    I’m disappointed you didn’t keep that strange green color. That color just shouts “1950s!”

      With its age it is likely that it was a lead based paint.

      Matthew Fairbrother: Old lead paint is much less dangerous in place than it is when you sand it off or otherwise remove it- thereby turning into toxic dust or (if you use a solvent) toxic liquid waste. If lead paint is peeling badly, though, it shout be removed so children or animals won’t eat the paint chips.

    • @matthewfairbrother6348
      @matthewfairbrother6348 6 років тому +2

      @@censusgary i agree that it can be less dangerous when whole, but its not just the peeling, scratches (which this had) can cause just as much lead to be released/exposed. And its not just toxic to kids.
      Using a wet removal method as TYSY did is the safest method, as less dust is able to go free in the air. Add a good respirator and common sense. And removal is the best option.
      I know this due to having looked at my options for restoring my grandfather's old Lathe, same color too.
      Sadly i was unable to get a good color match with a suitable replacement paint.
      Although i admit, lead is just speculation with regards to thie lamp
