Subscriber sent me this car battery charger for restoration

Here in Brazil, almost everything is grounded via Bluetooth

With that backpack I thought you were cosplaying Death Stranding for a second there.

MR MAGGOT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Those old battery chargers are perfect for removing rust with electrolysis. I have a rather scary and very old one I use. I'll give it a proper restoration at some point.

Interesting restoration of an old school battery charger. Selenium rectifiers are pretty nasty but that one looks to be in good nick. I was surprised to see the rubber grommets were still pliable, I would have thought they would be brittle and crumble when you tried to remove them.

Since this was a restoration you didn't want to change things but the naked fuse holder and lack to strain reliefs on the mains and battery cable come to mind, as did the lack of any insulation on the battery clips.

The drill operated paint shaker was pretty cool. Agree with the posts about modern chargers that detect battery voltage for safety. I modified my with a pushbutton to manually override the detection feature.

💯👍😊

have been looking open with mouth, what a craftsmanship, compliments from Amsterdam

Ducking great video. Thank you

Can you really charge a car battery with the small cable area you have on + and -? Nice restoration. :)

I get that with restoration projects the aim is usually to keep as many of the original parts as possible, but I would have probably changed all the internal cables as well. I would worry about the plastic covering having gone brittle over time from exposure to the elements.

beass?

Great work, but a little bit stupud primitive construction.
BTW, like has been planted :)

Tus videos los mejores!

Вподобайка

Really brilliant as usual - but really disappointed he didn't show the making of the maggot coffin! 😢😂😂

Great Video, if you are restoring viewers things. I have a 1939 typewriter that works but needs a nice restoration.

It is Sunday, december 22nd, 10:30pm local time here and I'm on my way to the Workshop to build this paint can shaker!

Merry Christmas Mr Tinkering

The author did a great job restoring gaming consoles, but their work with metal is pretty weak. It’s obvious that sandblasting cleans metal better and more thoroughly. The work looks rather amateurish. Take a lesson from my mechanics

That little coffin you made got me 😂RIP mummified maggots!

What motorcycles do you have?

Even odd tinkering makes mistakes sometimes 😅

NICE JOB!!!! The laser paint and rust remover is NEAT!!!! as well.

I have been enjoying watching your videos. I like how you bring new life in things people usually throw away.

nice :D

the craziest one of these i’ve ever seen

?hat did you use to clean the galss from the amp meter?

Am I the only one who doesn't like the laser cleaning, preferring sand/media blasting for cleaning? Excellent video overall!

Very nice work !! I like how you made the new switch very nice touch !! 👍👍 It looks better than new !!!

Thank you for your video 🤩

Watching the laser yeet the rust is so satisfying

How do you know how to do all of this? 😅

I wonder if that laser cannon thing gets rid of acne?
Mr.Tinkering, plz consider trying it on a piece of steak or chicken..

awww poor ducktor didn't get a bath today

Interesting choice in keeping the original selenium rectifier. They go at random, and they supposedly smell like a horrifyingly bad fart. People just replace them with silicon rectifiers. You have to use a dropping resistor with silicon when replacing selenium for electronics, but I've never seen it done with old car battery chargers. I did it an old car charger, and it worked fine.

the laser backpack is cool and all but that prototype Boba helmet is sick

The rust/paint removal is always my favourite part. So satisfying.

Thank you I enjoyed your video nice job ...

Nice restoration, love the hammered paint 👍🏾

K, now we need to see your motorcycles...

Not the coffin 😂❤

How do I send you something ? I have a cool old antique radio that I would love to get done .

Bro casually using alien technology to strip paint off something. 👍🏽

Merry Christmas odd

The tiny coffin took me out 😂😭💀⚰️

Thank you very much for restoring this! It was originally my father's and he sadly passed away a couple years ago. He used to enjoy watching your videos and would have loved this! Merry Christmas!
