made in france so the french could see where they were running when a war came

Amazing!

This projector 9.5 mm

someone should make a custom cartoon in 8mm reel for this, it'd be a good prank. if someone could make mouse.avi i will sub to you

i have a toy like that before.

Most golden fingers of France ❤

The sandblasting bits are too short! Lol

Now visit a lost place bunker with this as only light source ;)

Almost like a movement in a watch how cool.

WHY DID YOU PAINT IT?! 😭 🤮

I woulda liked to seen the 80 years of patina left alone and just fixed but pretty cool anyway

Soviets had Geiger counter made just like this. It was nicknamed "mastrubator".

i suppose herringbone years would make this a much more enjoyable experience 🤔🤷‍♂️

That's not a flashlight, That's a grip strength trainer. 😂😂😂

It's like the thing in Metro 2033

Not very clear and sharp this video at the end

The China garbage you can buy today doesn't even last 12 months...

That's an awesome restoration I hope you make more

Ну так себе, снаружи полернул, внутри всё сгнило - молодец. meh

Top !!!

Videos like this put the fakes to absolute shame. Great work ♥

Умели же раньше делать игрушки! Здорово!

I had so many hand-crank flashlights in my time, didn't know they could last for more than a few years.😅

I played in childhood

very nice!

Bonjour! Vos fans ont deja tout dit.. que puis je ajouter?prenez soin de vous. 🙂

Yo la quiero 😭😸😸😸

i realy historycal all thinks so much

Lovely

Old things never dies!

Had one of those, when I was growing up. It was quite hard to operate with small hands, and from time to time, I'd pinch my palm between the handle and the body of the flashlight, which was most painful. But it was still, so cool, that I kept using it, regardless. LED is a good addition, because it has a lot less power consumption and therefore, will produce less resistance on the handle. With the original bulb, it would've been hard to run. The downside is that with the filament, that dims gradually, the light is more steady. To combat it, add a capacitor. Find where to put one. Maybe even run it to that spare bulb compartment, if there is no other place to stick it. If you're willing to alter the original, by having a non-factory bulb, might as well go all the way and make it a little less flickery.

Man porn

Anyone else thinks this looks a lot like the HP deluminator ?

It would be sick as fuck if this was just a giant lighter like contraption where you squeeze the handle and it strikes a flame not that this isn't cool

some neat piece of old tech, gj restoring it.

Kudos to you

thank you for being decent about the sand blasting, some people on youtube, sandblast in all crazy directions leaving patches behind they have to go back over, i must have OCD, i cannot watch people sandblast like a psychopath with no order or logical direction, i prefer it much better if they sandblast parts like here in this video :) (i just noticed this vid is 2 years old, oh well)

I'll give you 8/10, the wheel treads were lathe cut & never polished like you did on this restoration and also the boiler doesn't look right unpainted. Not bad on the rest of it as it brought back a load of memories of mine from Christmas 1976.

at first I thought it was a brass knuckles with a flashlight from the preview)
