Here is a new video !!
This is a vintage TV lighter made by the Japanese company Waco around 1960.
It was in very bad shape, some parts were broken or missing and had to be re-made.
The chrome was really pitted and as I couldn't do new one, I just polished it. It could have been better tho...
Please watch till the end to see this 1960's Japanese TV lighter in action !
Don't forget my Patreon for exclusive content !

I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.

I restored a 1940s lighter for a friend who was an antique dealer it was a pilot holding a propeller but when you moved his head the flame appeared. The body was cracked so it took a fair bit of time to rebuild him. Luckily after restoration it sold for a reasonable amount in just a few days.

Oh! I didn't realize how tiny it was from the thumbnail! I thought it was an old CRT TV with a built-in lighter somewhere... Which seemed kind of silly, but cars used to have built-in lighters, so it kind of made sense in a way? A TV-shaped lighter makes more sense hahaha. That's ok, I love restorations and tiny things, so this was a very good video.
