Conheci essa máquina quando era criança, inclusive dá para ver no minuto 01:17 que essa máquina foi fabricada no Brasil.

Fez me lembrar quando adolescente no começo dos anos 70 acompanhando meu pai em seu escritório de contabilidade. Ficava olhando ele com habilidade usando uma Facit.

The texture on the metal piece that surrounds the key levers is called "hammered". Your product looks really good, but there is an easier method that comes in a spray can. It can be found online and is made by rustoeum. Hope this helps with future projects!

just a curious question, does super glue like those even work long term? does it last? or would a/b glue works better?

I think the paint texture you were trying to reproduce is called wrinkle paint, which is a special type of paint.

You can operate the machine now
Why would you try to replicate a common, easy to find paint? It is cheap & easy to find at any hardware store or wherever paint is sold. It is a hammer type paint. You can buy it in a rattle can & it is also available as a powder coat paint. Why make a job harder than it has to be? 😂

not an antique.... antique refers to an object more than 100 years old....vintage refers to items between 50-100 years old.

@@myrestorationsyou turn on/off the audio track as you touch the item. Therefore there is full silence and then noise (including your AC and kids in the background) every 1.5 seconds. Imaging listen to that with headphones.
