I saw this and was immediately filled with a childhood memory. I grew up in southern California (yep, Anaheim), and could watch Disneyland fireworks every night from my back yard. There was a local department store (name escapes me) where my mom shopped. She would deposit me in their toy department so she could shop in peace. One Saturday afternoon, she dropped me as usual in the toy department, and I vividly remember a table stacked with these wind up mechanical toy submarines. The box art was very old fashioned, and they weren't a Disney labeled product. They were painted yellow, and recall they were HEAVY. This was the 1960s, and it was all space toys for me: every third family worked in the aerospace industry, so most of my toys were rockets, etc., but this old fashioned wind up somehow charmed me, like an artifact of what I would come to know as "Steampunk" miraculously appearing in a world dominated by plastics and transistors. I recall the thing was too pricey at the time, and I reluctantly put it down, but I thank you for resurrecting (literally) something that still has a curious hold on me.

toys at that time were made with such high quality, even after many years it was very well amenable to restoration. respect and gratitude to the master for good work.

No not really. Stamped sheet metal pressed together. That is your idea of “high quality “? Old Walt wanted that stuff made as cheap as he could have it made. This over dramatic love of past things is ridiculous

Disney sure did good quality toys back then, at age 11 my Mom and aunt took me to Disney World in Orlando Florida. (1971) That was a ride I will never forget, we had to walk down a ladder in order to get in the sub. Fake fish/diver's, etc... But I will never forget it! Great job restoring that.

Excellent job on this project and professional details very time consuming and worth it!

Love the project. One tip I use when soldering is to flux the area and then nip off tiny grains of solder and place them along the seam. Heat from the opposite side. Tiny grains of solder melt and flow easier. Wire solder can fall off into large balls and take much more heat to flow and often leave heavy masses of solder to clean off. Enjoy

@@TheFabrik If you ever watch jewelry making videos, they do this a lot! Another neat tip I learned from the jewelry vids is the paste that comes in a syringe, and has the solder (silver solder in most cases) finely ground and mixed in the flux! There’s a short learning curve when you first use it, then full steam ahead! First time on your channel, and thoroughly amazed!
