Restoring Vintage 1970's Ash Flash Flashlight
Not so rusty,but this piece deserve to be shiny again.

I bought this Vintage Ash Flash Flashlight from Etsy,for almost 30$.She was not in bad condition but I wanted to bring her a glow. Therefore,I disassembled it,I cleaned the pieces very well,then I repainted it. It not was a big deal,but for many of you,this one represent memories and I think you will be happy to see it again. Enjoy how I restore this Vintage Ash Flash Flashlight and don't forget: I am no professional. I work very hard to improve this kind of work and I appreciate it any feedback, advice or suggestions.

    This brings back some memories... my father had this very same light back in the '70s, except with a big rubber suction cup on the bottom. I used to get in trouble for playing with the light and killing the batteries.

    A little dab of silicone grease on the threaded areas makes it much easier to screw them down. Also a dab of either silicone grease on the switch pivot makes it easier to switch: Old plastic can develop a high friction level and the silicone protects things.

    On the switch on the front side it was written MADE IN THE USSR. I’m Russian, but I’m watching your videos, they are interesting to me .. I found the USSR a bit and I remember well how these lanterns were sold in sporting goods stores for hunters, fishers and campers. Even my father had such a lantern in the garage .. There are not enough batteries for a long time so I advise you to change the lamps to LED. And so a great job. Successful restorations to you, and interesting videos for us .. If it’s not difficult to include subtitles in the video that you could watch with translations of subtitles, I unfortunately do not know English except the alphabet.))))) Good luck !!
