Old kitchen scale - Restoration

Thank you for 18:37 minutes of your time.
In today's video we will show you the renovation of old kitchen scales.
I got the scales from a friend who was doing order at home in the attic and found them there.

Action Index:
0:07 introduction of the original finding state of kitchen scales
0:48 this time I decided to soak the scales in the liquor bath
1:18 We'll clean the box with brass weights while the scale is infusing
1:29 first degrease the box with technical gasoline and metal wool from grease
1:49 grease the greased box with sandpaper P180 and then P220 (in my case I sanded for a long time, because the box was engraved with the inscription :()
2:53 blow out the octagonal box thoroughly and if necessary darken with alcohol stain, I used a shade of light oak
3:25 after the stain has dried, lightly grind P220 with a sponge as the impregnated wood lifts
3:27 I prepared this box with varnish, then with wax and polish it best with flannel
4:17 for easy brass cleaning, I used a "brass cleaner" that you buy from a drugstore store
4:35 As I don't want to touch metal objects in the brass cleaner, I made a wooden tweezer
5:08 I cleaned and washed weights with metal wool and polished with polishing paste and flannel cloth
6:13 weights are done :)
6:18 After 24 hours in the caustic, remove the scales and rinse thoroughly with water
6:34 I brushed off the paint residue
7:00 followed by the dismantling of kitchen scales
8:15 Clean the distributed weight in parts using a wire disc
9:26 after cleaning, fill each part with a rust remover and after drying clean the rust remover with metal wool
10:05 I left only small parts cleaned and sprayed with clear varnish
10:11 still needed to replace the ducks, because they were not the same
11:43 as the top coat I used a synthetic color in shade of copper, as the weight was originally painted with the best foam sponge
12:40 followed by gilding
13:43 followed by patina black synthetic spray paint
14:25 I used a paint marker on the circuit lines
14:40 done, we can put down the weight
16:11 it was left to deliver and polish the brass bowl
17:10 demonstration of functionality
