BOM: Best Of Machines
High quality video of old machines in need of either repair or cosmetic restoration, or both. And the videos go beyond just the pretty: time is taken to explain how the mechanical device works, and to share interesting history about it.
I hope the videos stir the same fascination in you as what I have for old mechanical devices, how impressively complex they can be, and the durability of manufacture that enables them to still work, and be useful, many years later.
BOM Reviews welcomes you and thanks you for your interest and support.
-----------------
The idea for this channel started out as a parody of unboxing videos -- revealing vintage and antique machines instead of new technology. Without original boxes or crates, bags were used instead, thus BOM originally stood for 'Bags O' Mystery' (which is also an 1800's phrase for sausages). The channel has evolved into something simpler, and I hope, more enjoyable.

😃👏👍
Can I ask a few questions about your register? I just bought a similar one. 1923 model 852-E. Where can I get the receipt paper and do you know the specs on the milkglass part? That's missing. It seems like it only has a single hole in the center of the milkglass, not like many registers that has two holes for mounting. Thanks so much and thanks for the great videos. You taught me a lot about my register.
J’ai été vraiment surpris que la banane ait duré le plus longtemps.
Sorry for the audio spikes.
I have one that needs redoing would you be willing to do another one?
Forgotten Hi-End technology. All natural. Perfect sound.
The side of the cash register tells more a story than most movies. This is an engineering marvel.
*ITS IMPORTANT TO KNOW* if you listen to a new old stock record on a restored gramophone - they dont sound like this. THIS is a 10-year-old worn-out scratched record....!!! They sound AMAZINGLY good
Excellent work. Thanks ⚘️
No he podido quitar el plato del mío
I wonder how much it cost to build this original cash register? Imagine how much time to make and assemble all of these parts. I hope this guy remembers where everything goes when re-assembly this fine old machine. Very interesting
The designs were so simplistic back then. Great restoration 👌
Really GREAT ! You did an awesome job ! Try and get an OLDER Victor record to enjoy the results of your superb restoration,the grooves are different,you will experience much better sound. Look for a Victor record with the BIG label on it,and only one song on each side....
11:22 It was best practice to start with the largest coin first. Fifty cent piece, quarter, nickel, penny. I made change in the olden days. It was a full service gas station though, not a grocery store.
most delightful. Thanks mate!
War keine gute Idee, den Filz mit Sprühkleber auf dem Plattenteller zu leimen. In dem Sprühkleber sind Stoffe drin, die nicht gut für die Schellackplatten sind. Ansonsten Respekt vor der Arbeit und viel Spaß beim Hören der alten Schätze.
I glad for how you keep all the original parts and als osafes the marks from the old workers.
The "Chrome" plating is NOT Chrome. - Chrome plating was not invented till the 1920's or 30's. That is NICKEL Plated. In truth - "Chrome" plating is actually nickel plated FIRST, then the chrome is applied OVER the nickel to protect the nickel. Personally, I think the bare Nickel has a beautiful warmth that chrome takes away. Any good chrome shop can do it. Nice restoration - glad you didn't overdo it like so many do!
Just want to point out that when that was made a dark paste filler was rubbed into the open grain and lightly sanded off to produce a flat surface and enhance the grain before an actual oil varnish was used. No filler and poly is the standard of modern crappy finishes on antiques made of oak.
It so upsets me when I see people using spray "varnish" on new veneer when they have restored an item - and it looks like a dried orange skin finish
I’m sure you’ve seen comments already that you shouldn’t use polyurethane on these machines, rather, you should use a shellac. Yes, bees wax is the correct material to seal the gasket. There are also rebuild kits available for these reproducers too. Be careful with the bearings that are in the tips of the governor as they are easy to lose, and hard to replace if lost!
Makinenin sistemi çok tuhaf, plağın üstündeki iğne plağı çiziyor gibi geliyor bana
Thanks for fixing our old bottles.
trabalho excelente. observo que o valor que teria com algumas peças originais foi reduzido; como nos mecanismos de funcionamento. a aparência dela é linda, me lembra o filme Titanic, não sei porque.
Poderia mandar o nome desse tango que toca no final. (Agradeço Muito)
Una de las joyas de NCR!!!
Is that a desktop Black and Decker workbench?
and plays music too
bad body clean up show when putting on decal should have bead blasted left many grinder marks
Fake sound at the end, you can't play a 33rpm vinyl on a 78rpm gramophon. Speeds are different and grooves are not the same.
17:29 You almost got me... I skipped one or two heartbeats
Put a sock in it! (Stuff one in the horn) - What the grown ups used to tell the kids when they were playing it too loud. Still in common parlance today in Britain.
Bad paint job
Not easy to do a good job on panels that were made as cheaply as possible. Full size vehicle panels back in the '50s/'60s needed a lot of massaging before painting.
Amazing restoration and dedication. Keep it up. Bravo!
The engineering that went into 1 of these things is incredible ❤
Gostei muito do tango no fim
Complimenti per il restauro io ne ho un pierrot inglese ciao
СПАСИБО В разобранном виде данное устройство увидеть где-либо практически невозможно. Посмотрел с удовольствием.
Цвет морилки (вещество для обработки деревянных поверхностей) - фантастический !!! Я восхищён !!!
The elegance with which they made thes machines! Every component an artistic masterpiece by itself!
One of the most beautiful machines and the hymn recorded just as beautiful!
słuchałem płyt z muzyką z takiego patefonu to były czasy WSZYSTKO było takie proste naturalne a obecnie szkoda pisać 🙈
I noticed you didnt fit the reproducer soundbox gaskets correctly, they need to be a excess tight fit before installing otherwise it will leak air and you get the bad rattley sound as heard here. Its usually a specialist job, it took me ages to get correctly myself. It would be good if you could revisit this and try new tighter fitting seals as you will be impressed with the sound quality😎.
I rebuilt a Victrola No.2 reproducer first try, but those ain’t nothing compared to the Exhibition.
“Do you mind bagging this up?” “I don’t know what a bag is…” 😂
Si existiera la posibilidad de saber la cifra de dinero que circuló por esa caja registradora a lo largo de su vida útil, podría pensar que esa cifra sería una muy pequeña fracción en comparación con el valor adquirido después de esta magnífica y espléndida restauración. Para mí tiene el mismo valor que un crucero de 300 habitaciones.
Have you tried wiping down the cylinder with TURPENTINE? This literally melts the surface, leaving a smooth, shiny blank on which to record! I've done it dozens of times with moldy brown wax cylinders, and the results are spectacular. I own an Edison Home Model 2-minute machine from ca. 1904, precisely similar to yours.
somewhat careless manufacturing, does not impress in terms of technique and craftsmanship! Such a device must be worked with care!
Видео интересное,но ....прости мужик- Реставрация это не твоё.Я бы такому "мастеру" после этого просмотра видео никогда бы не отдал бы на восстановление.
What type of rubber was used for the micam gasket?
🥃👍👏🥃👍👏🥃👍👏🥃👍👏🥃👍👏🥃👍👏
Nice original machine. I several versions of the full size machines and I know how they work. It's amazing that they all the mechanics in that little box.
Nice job. When I polished my reproducer, I found out that the nickel plating was extremely thin, and it basically just came off by polishing. Dunno how you got away with it. I replated mine, looks fantastic. One thing I was surprised by, as I had never operated a Victrola before, was just how loud they play. With medium volume needles, I would still keep one door closed for comfortable volume level.
You figure that if you can’t increase the volume, but you can decrease it, you’d want it to play as loud as possible
