This weeks restoration project, vintage Wonder flashlight/lantern, cost me only 0.7€. It is very patinated and had a bit of rust and as you will find out later on the video there was other issues too..The restoration started as usual by disassembly. The flashlight was very pleasing to diassemble, so many little parts but still so simple. Kind of like legos. After the disassembly I removed the old damaged paint. The light was repainted with base coat and blue spray paint (RAL 5105). Then I remade the French text which I believe is telling me what type of battery to use. I used regular 4.5V battery I don't know if the text is telling me otherwise. The text was remade on Photoshop. I used most similar font I could find. It only had slight differences. This was printed horizontally mirrored on back paper of sticker printing paper. I used clear glue to attach the printer color from the paper to the lantern. Then the flashlight was clear coated with 2K spray lacquer. I polished all the metal parts and removed any rust/oxidation to get good contact between the brass parts. The other parts needed only a cleanup. After assembly I noticed the lamp didn't work. I didn't try it first because I didn't have the battery. I quickly noticed it was missing a piece of some kind. There was only one contact to the bulb. i made new part from brass sheet. my sheet was slightly thicker than the original one. After some experimenting with the right shape I manged to get the lamp working beautifully. Thanks once again for watching.

I do my best to get a video out every week.
