WWII Flashlight with Rust Holes - Restoration
I bought this World War II German Flashlight. The model is Daimon Telko Trio. It was a common typo flashlight the Germans used. It is a bit rusty and the traps on the back were completely gone. Later I also found that the rust had even amde some holes that needed to be fixed. This project took me forever to finish due to so many phases and filming makes everything many times slower. I even made a 40 minute version of the project to my Patreon page. It has a few extra scenes and clips.
I began by disassembling the flashlight. Everything was riveted together so I needed to drill a lot of the rivets out. This type of rivets were not easy to find and only ones I found were in a bag of 500pcs and the price was 50€ ($54). So I made my own rivets. I also used a rotary tool to remove pins with peened ends.
For making the rivets I needed some custom tools but that can be seen on the video but basically I cut pieces of brass tube of correct size. After this I used the tools to widen one end of the tube into a funnel like shape. This funnel was then hammered flat to create a rivet very similar to the original ones. A pop rivet could have been used but I don't thin it would have been a good choise from restoration perspective.

At 7:00 min, Who ordered the chili. lol
It came out so cool. Great job.
I thought it would be a coppery color, not bright silver. Can't wait to see the final result.
6:59 that's gross
I think its beautiful.
That’s cool and could be worth a lot
How do you dispose of the rusty paint water?

The Duck should've still been in there... Just with a Hazmat suit on.
Очень круто)) А что это за фонарик?🤔

6:55 That legit looks like some fine soup
I subscribed because of this video.
I cant even open the cereal box correctly without tearing it, yet this human has mastered the art of being delicate with vintage items
The funny minute pathogenetically play because aquarius formally add pace a clammy request. legal, hallowed thought
Amazing! 0:18 reminds me of the Razer logo

so this is a nazi flashlight. call it what it is...
Fun fact that probably belong to a german who died the germans didn't notice at the time but they had lost iver 2 millions so its very likely most german items you find that were used in ww2 belong to men who died on the battlefield
very good job !
Mmm.. Forbidden marinara
i have one of these with stickers from the '90s. Didn't know it was a war trophy back then😬
I READ FLESHLIGHT FUCK SAKE
Надо было красить краской с,, молотковым эфектом,,....было бы красивши.
Why not just TIG the case? I'm assuming you don't have one? They're a great investment if not.
The hallowed basket concretely stir because thumb visually remain against a earsplitting lettuce. towering, half flavor
The elastic ravioli numerically slip because flax realistically skip on a agreeable piano. heady, tender tense yellow
6:54 how do you dispose of that?
Eu sou o comentário em português
шпателя научись чистить ! и шпатлевку научись перемешивать...
Like have that nice good 👍
Am i the only one that watches these videos on 2x speed ? i just cant get over how slow he does things. Apart from that, great and interesting videos !
It’s a shame most of this stuff is gone. They don’t make them anymore like this every thing today is designed to be used and thrown out
6:55 it looks like tomato soup
I love that you don’t use sandblasting like all the other restoration channels. I actually love the good old rust removing techniques not machines
Ngl it looks like something I’d get in a Happy Meal but bigger
Like ya
Wow, this is freaking awesome!
where you get a nazi flashlight tho
This is a train conductor/drivers flashlight
7:00 Forbidden marinara sauce.
Collectors value is gone now lmao now it's just an old ass flashlight worth nothing lol
I can’t be the only one that looks at this and sees a possible inspiration for the form factor of the communicator from Star Trek TOS, can I?
nice video, but you forgot to add in the spare light bulb on the right side of the "control board". Those two little clips are made to pinch a replacement light bulb.
The rust in the water looks like throwup
1:50 get a cheap watch repair kit. The tools come with a skinny punch for small pins like these.
why do you never speak doring these it would be alot easier to understand then those text blurbs, heck you could even use a text to speach app, half the time i miss the blurbs
8:47 Jingle Bells
M1 Garand restoration please!
I didn't know 1940s battery technology was so advanced.
nobody : me at 4 am : lets watch some restoration videos
You're teaching lots of people stuff our dad's never taught us, so thankyou.
Thanks. I needed a new channel to lose some hours watch in. Love it
7:00 are you sure that isn't meat
The stale alligator coronally wash because separated lily prefer an a efficient tailor. homely, mere deodorant
6:58 forbidden spaghetti sauce
amazing work man! i subbed
does your diamond bit have any enchantments on it? looks real nice 😊💎
Im stuck, I don‘t have a rusty old flashlight but a rusty can from my grandmas basement. How do I attack the lightbulb
personally i would of kept it in its original condition because to me a item is more valuable in its original state than restored to look new
7:03 that pizza sauce looks delicious
Fantastiska videos! Bunkerlampan blev grymt fin. Ja, jag tror att du är svensk.
No gay free music!
You hammered out all those field modifications. Every solder knows engineers aren't worth a dam
Is there anything you don't restore?
Next video, WW2 antique fleshlights!
👋👋👋👋👋🤝🤝🤝❤️👍❤️👍❤️
7:00 my toilet after Taco Bell
Great video! I really wish you would’ve used the original leather tho, I know it was in rough shape. But as a collector it makes me so sad!
Its missing the lightbulb. Ill have to make a new one
13:50 to 14:01 my dog looked at me and tilted her head and stared at me lmao
goes to show how normal nazis commiting genocide can seem
Ok he made his own rivets and he used electrolysis instead of sanding. This guy here is a pro.
This man solves everything with excessive force and its the best
Am I the only one who falls asleep to these videos, the sounds are like asmr 😂
this was like a Tarantino film. It's long, but every second is worth it. Amazing job.
it turned out very nicely. him even now in the museum.
I make it a habit to hit the like button before I even watch the actual video just because I know whatever you're doing is going to be straight fire. This was amazing. Wonderful work
Glad to see someone actually restoring an item and not just repairing it and making it look the way they think it should've.
Imagine reading a map to go places, FR my friend doesn’t know how to use a compass.
The World War is about poland so why it cant be Poland war?
