It's nice that you added the info about cost and time at the end. People, myself included, often underestimate the effort that goes into these restaurations. Great work!
I was the one who suggested this a couple videos back and you replied saying you'd try it out and I'm happy to see it! Honestly the materials cost all in was less than I expected. And it makes me appreciate your content even more knowing it took 3 weeks for us to enjoy 15 minutes of viewing. Thanks for another fun project, excited as always to see what's on your table next!
You see the thumbnail for these videos pop up and you don't think it's worth much to watch it... and then you watch it.. and you can't stop... and the zen overwhelms you.. and it's awesome. :)
I saw your poll early today, don't forget there are about 91K of us who think this content is great. Don't be discouraged, this was a great item and interesting video, particularly the electronics. Great stuff!
Wow, nice job! Thanks also for posting the cost/time at the end. I like the way you put a video together, showing us enough but not every. single. rivet. Perfectly edited.
Nice vid and a perfect restoration. BUT... The green-yellow ground connection is a very bad joke. Soldering on paint can't work and soldering on steel is difficult. Just crimp an connector on the cable an fix it with a screw. 😊 Greetings
What a great restoration you are very talented and you amazed me with all the electrical elements you had tou sort out and the pieces you made . Well done
Thank you for doing what YOU like to do. If you do what you're passionate about, we will follow. Don't ever do things just because others tell you to do them.
I want more videos please!!!! I have watched them all and there are not a lot of them. Please please please! You’re my favorite of all the restoration videos and you are so talented, and can make almost ANYTHING from scratch! Instead of other people who buy all the new parts…
This was a great restoration. The only thing that I would suggest doing differently is to make a recess for the fuse and speed switch so that this could sit or hang flat against a wall. Also that is a very sweet little spot welder you have. Now to print yourself some non conductive tongs to hold the piece you are welding.
my favorite channel about restoration. always amazing results. the main thing is often interesting and extraordinary things to restore. thanks for your work
You did a very good job! Regarding such a thing is quite easy to rebuild exactly this way, i have to say i value the patina over the finished look this time.
I am surprised by how much it cost only because the restoration project looked so good I thought man this must sell for a lot so it's probably expensive to restore and I wasn't far off I guessed 300 bucks to restore maybe it's like a 500 dollar or more sign 🙂 very beautiful end result though, I am like I would love one of these but I am sure it's far out of my budget ha ha it's stunning :) I am working on building a solarium for my mom and my niece who love to garden and was thinking of making a cafe and all that and this sign would just be so cool to use.
It's nice that you upgraded some components especially the built in electronics and bulbs with latest LED technology. I am interested to watch restoration videos, not only restoring the item but upgrading too to the current technology. Furthermore I also enjoyed watching recreating lost or damaged parts. I'm glad you included the 3D printing sessions in your video. Great job! Do the same thing to your future videos.
Thoughtful and innovative melding of old and new technologies, and original and repro parts. Better than when new, and the heart of the old is still there. sometimes it's neat to lave a patch with original paint and patina.
@@musthavechannel5262for sure. These restoration channels tend to do this - while odd tinkering got me into the hobby of restoring vintage tech, and I enjoyed it a lot, as a result youtube restorationists and the newfags like myself drove the price of the broken gameboys/NES'es/PSones sky high, to the point when now you can barely find a yellowed dirty old Gameboy DMG-001 with missing parts and motherboard corrosion for less than $40
You have the patience of a saint and his was clearly a passion project - great attention to detail, well done! Love the editing! (I’m waiting for the “T” , “N” and the “D”) 😊
Was this previously owned by the King of France? How is it possible this was listed for $80?? lol It seems overvalued at $8 in its original condition. Amazing restoration, as always. The inclusion of costs at the end is a real winner. Especially when you consider people might come back to watch this 50 years from now. :)
OTND AND KILO RESTORATION. The only 2 restoration channels I trust on UA-cam... Kilo last uploaded 2 years ago,I don't know where he could be... OTND don't dissappear on us also 😢
Incredible work! But I would also love to know the history behind this piece. I wonder where it was from. What business, club or event it was made for?
at my work, we make and have circuit boards, so we have to make sure we wear ESD smocks and shoes/straps so we reduce the chances of static discharge.. then you got this guy, putting a circuit board together ON STYROFOAM, one of the most static-y things around😢
12:05 Dont tin the wire and then crimp it. You get better and longer lasting connection without the soldering tin. The tinning just makes it more brittle and likely to break.
To avoid the glow for the bulbs that should be off: Add resistors between the outputs. Depending on the voltage in your country, you have to pick the right one. But I think 1 Megaohm should do.
I don't know how you suppose to use this, horizontally or vertically, but small plastic legs or keyhole hangers (respectively) would have been a nice touch to it. Either way, job well done! It came out beautifully!
i always love your videos, and this was no exception. however, i am kind of wondering why you bought the letter on ebay. it seems like such a simple thing to cut out and bend up from fresh steel, and then you wouldn't have to worry about stripping the old paint and the rust and everything
It's nice that you added the info about cost and time at the end. People, myself included, often underestimate the effort that goes into these restaurations. Great work!
Was just going to post this. So many times I watch restoration videos and wonder "How Long" & "How Much" . Thank you OTND!
Seconded!
I don't know if it was a good idea after all, seeing how shocked people are by the price of the object 😅
@@OldThingsNeverDie- highly appreciated by me as well! The "shock" is meant as compliments!
I was the one who suggested this a couple videos back and you replied saying you'd try it out and I'm happy to see it! Honestly the materials cost all in was less than I expected. And it makes me appreciate your content even more knowing it took 3 weeks for us to enjoy 15 minutes of viewing. Thanks for another fun project, excited as always to see what's on your table next!
Now all you need is the letters T.N.D. and you can mount it on your wall for everyone to see as they watch your videos.. nice work as always...
Yes!
This was my thought too :)
I thought about it too 🤣
Not a typical thing you see being restored. Was very interesting to watch you bring it back to it's former glory. Great video 😎
Thank you Paul ! 👍
I suspect "to better than its former glory".
You see the thumbnail for these videos pop up and you don't think it's worth much to watch it... and then you watch it.. and you can't stop... and the zen overwhelms you.. and it's awesome. :)
Thank you al3k 😊
Enjoy your new addiction, boss
I saw your poll early today, don't forget there are about 91K of us who think this content is great. Don't be discouraged, this was a great item and interesting video, particularly the electronics. Great stuff!
I've never saw a spot welding machine but jeez it's efficient!
Awesome! Loved the sound when cutting all the little bits, and the switch turning the video off
Very impressive refurbishing project. I was wondering what you could actually do with such a piece. Well seems quite a lot it looks... Thumbs Up
It was a nice touch to add those LEDs that look like vintage bulbs
You're so good at this! I love watching how precise you are and how you can bring what most would call junk, back to it's former glory.
Wow, nice job! Thanks also for posting the cost/time at the end.
I like the way you put a video together, showing us enough but not every. single. rivet. Perfectly edited.
Thank you 😊
You paid 80 bucks for "that"? Lol! Thats what i call dedication. Turned out great, as always
The guy shoud have paid him $80 to take away that piece of smashed rust.
I love that you restored the old light sockets!
Nice vid and a perfect restoration. BUT... The green-yellow ground connection is a very bad joke.

What a great restoration you are very talented and you amazed me with all the electrical elements you had tou sort out and the pieces you made . Well done
Nicely done. Saving a bit of history from the junkyard and giving it new life. 👍
Thank you for doing what YOU like to do. If you do what you're passionate about, we will follow. Don't ever do things just because others tell you to do them.
I love the result, AND the filming style. The rapid fire sounds are cool. You’re a master!
What a funky thing to buy and restore. Great job.
Old and busted ➡️ new hotness. Always a joy to see your amazing work!
I don’t care what it is you are restoring, I’m watching at least 5x.
The whimsical items are always my favorite. Thanks for the post.
Really liked the little recap at the end! Continue comme ça!
Merci 😊
wow amazing transformation! I'm always so awed by your work! you have immense patience and are meticulously detailed
I love watching someone repair old things :)
I like how you added the price to this video. I realize you can't always break it down perfectly, but Its gives perspective.
My daughter Olivia would love to have that in her room.
I want more videos please!!!! I have watched them all and there are not a lot of them. Please please please! You’re my favorite of all the restoration videos and you are so talented, and can make almost ANYTHING from scratch! Instead of other people who buy all the new parts…
Love the cost and time infos a the end! I always wonder about it when whatching restoration videos
This was a great restoration. The only thing that I would suggest doing differently is to make a recess for the fuse and speed switch so that this could sit or hang flat against a wall.
Also that is a very sweet little spot welder you have. Now to print yourself some non conductive tongs to hold the piece you are welding.
A joy to see this process as ever! such skill, patience and perfection!
Me encanta como quedó!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Excelente resultado 👏 👏👏👏👏!!!!!
The music of the drill was fantastic! I smile through every one of your videos, only broken by a frequent surprised laugh at your humor.
oh sick i've never seen a spot welding machine before. that was cool
my favorite channel about restoration. always amazing results. the main thing is often interesting and extraordinary things to restore. thanks for your work
This is by far the coolest restoration video I have seen.
Omg I would’ve never imagined the cost of it. Great job!
Well not something I'd ever thought I'd watch but here i am
You did a very good job! Regarding such a thing is quite easy to rebuild exactly this way, i have to say i value the patina over the finished look this time.
Gotta love how extra you went for it. Not you just need the "LD THINGS NEVER DIE" letters for a full light display
At first I thought: oh h*ll no!!!
Turns out to be one of the best yet!!!
Unbelievable!! 😀👍🏻
Why was that your first thought
Beautifully done, loved every bit of it.
Lights turned off when you turned the switch on and vice versa 😂😂😂
The video I didn't know I needed today. Watching this brought me weirdly... a lot of joy 🎉❤ Thank you ✨️🙌

Buen trabajo me gusta la sencillez de como haces los pasos para llegar al final de la restauración saludos desde Uruguay

Nice job thumbs up! I thought you’d work on the panel to make it flatter. But the result looks great
Missed opportunity to add a RickRoll at 4:08 🤣 (and also at 10:31)
Gorgeous restoration though, great work! 🔥
That's awesome. Need to find more letters to make an amazing background for your pre and post reveals.
I love these videos. My son had shop in school. He disliked sandblasting.
Also, you should team up with the dude named "The Fisher" he magnet fishes and finds stuff out of waters! You two will make a good duo
That's a different thing to restore for sure! I loved the end result with the techno music! 😎
I love your talent and what you do with it. Thank you so much, God bless you.
Now you just need to get a T, N and D! Excellent work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thoughtful and innovative melding of old and new technologies, and original and repro parts. Better than when new, and the heart of the old is still there. sometimes it's neat to lave a patch with original paint and patina.
Wow, turned out amazing, great job. Probably looks better than when it was made the first time, lol😊
Styrofoam circuit board assembly technique. All this time I was fumbling around like a caveman with boards. Kudos
As always, amazing work. That is an interesting piece to restore, love it! The quality and care you put into your work/craft is amazing!!!
The full restoration on this was amazing I bet you could turn around and flip it for twice what it took to cost of restoration on it
I love how not quite round this is.Makes it more authentic.
That bench sized spot-welding machine - "I've gotta have me one of these !! 😄ps seriously though a lovely job utilising some excellent skills👍
Very niche, comment just for the algorithm to suggest your channel to new viewers.
And I appreciate the cost summary!
This old object was $80? For what???
Update: it's not a criticism, but I'm especially curious why someone would give $80 dollars for this.
Because youtubers are "restoring" such pieces for views that would earn back the money with profit.
Have fun on any antique flea markets. 😅
1/3 of the stuff is fake, 1/3 overpriced and 1/3 both.
@musthavechannel5262 what would you call it if not "restoring"?
ebay scalpers are gonna scalp, i guess?
@@musthavechannel5262for sure.

80 dollars? That would be very rare to find, otherwise I can't explain myself about the costs.
By the way, awesome restoration!!
You have the patience of a saint and his was clearly a passion project - great attention to detail, well done! Love the editing! (I’m waiting for the “T” , “N” and the “D”) 😊
Seems like your editing work is as on par with your restoration skills - a pleasure to watch and some neat editing work 👍
Hello mister beautiful restoration beautifully restored good job well done
Yay! I'm so glad you posted a new video! I was re-watching the old ones 🙈

The inclusion of costs at the end is a real winner. Especially when you consider people might come back to watch this 50 years from now. :)
The fastest disassembly I've seen in these videos, I guess that's how's just how cheap the attractions were built at the time.
Now you need just 16 more letters to complete your channel's name!
🤣🤣
Another great restoration.
@9:40 Honestly thought it was pretty cool to see you assemble the board, I've just started in on learning arduino so I took notes. :)
You did a really good job with that light letter 👍.
I really like those sorts of videos but sometimes i cant get over the fact that making the thing brand new would be cheaper and easier😂
Welcome back. I've missed you.
Reminded me of Painkiller (game) level Loony Park, great restoration 👍
OTND AND KILO RESTORATION.
The only 2 restoration channels I trust on UA-cam...
Kilo last uploaded 2 years ago,I don't know where he could be...
OTND don't dissappear on us also 😢
Maybe kilo is restoring something big like a train or truck
Welcome back
That was some of the most satisfying sandblasting I have ever witnessed
Beyond repair; that's what I thought😮! A fascinating watch.
Man, what an amazing work! 😃
Really well done!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Escolha criativa de objeto para restauro. Parabéns.

You are AWESOME. LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THE VODEO
Love your videos! So relaxing to watch! Please keep them coming!!
Don't solder your wires if you use a crimptool, the wires get lose over time.
Was about to comment that. Solder and crimp are a bad combo!
Amazing restoration!!!
It always fills me with joy to see a new video of yours ❤
12:05 Dont tin the wire and then crimp it.
You get better and longer lasting connection without the soldering tin.
The tinning just makes it more brittle and likely to break.
Love it!! I wonder what it was from originally? Love the colors!
Amazing finishing, well done🎉
Ух ты здорово получилось. Спасибо, лайк.

🙂 what a nice video. you could get other sockets, but you restored them
very well. respect for that and you have a new sub... greetings
