I ran alot of land nav courses with one like this. Old school memories at Ft. Bragg....

chuck norris chews his teeth

not gonna lie, you made my ears a little bit uncomfortable due to that hammering! RIP to other Headphone users out there!

It was a nice compass ..... but you totaly destroy it

I LOVE your videos!

Concerned about your safety on this one. Lol..... I bet you could restore an entire historical museum!

What is the bit adapter/screwdriver set being used in this video? It’s not the yellow one

"Controlled disposal required" Odd Tinkering: yeah right, disposal

Next: Beaten up U.S Army Warship restoration - Restoring militaria.

Well im gonna be SOL if i loss this in the middle of the night

So with all the stuff you restore, do you keep it all? And just have a bunch of old stuff, cause I think that would be really cool just to have a huge collection of old stuff.

Where do you find all these things to restore, some great stuff

Yes because graphite comes from a PEN

you tied a granny knot in the lanyard

impressive work...

Don’t watch this with headphones lmao. The hammering scenes make you feel like you’re getting your ears boxed

wattery soap looool

Do not forget to use the azimuth locking lever Lieutenant, lol. Good times with these.

I like to use my hammer for all my repairs. Or my trusty hatchet.

wow

Ducktor didn't get a bath on that watery soap this time...

he did not degrease after stripping the paint

What was the most complex restoration, you have ever did? I like to watch your videos while I'm working. It is like a terapy.

Sorry, that knot wasn't a square knot. It's Right over left then Left over right. :)

Your restoration work is zero

is watery soap better than using soapy water?

you sure that's tritium? I thought in WWII most glowing things were still radium.

That pen you used at 11:42 makes me feel so nostalgic. I had that same SM-Liiga pen as a kid and if I remember correctly the pen had an eraser shaped like a hockey blade at the top so the whole pen looked like an ice hockey stick.

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Cool ASMR

chuck norris is a communist.

3:22 ahhhh the cut in the glove after removing the thing aaaaaaaHHHHHH

15:15; adding the "dummy" cord!

What is that driver that you use? I have seen it in other restoration videos, and would like to procure one.

Me again I got a few of those from Vietnam era none fully restored one still works the 2 others not syllable. Like I would

How much?

2:40 bloodstain 5:44 its over 9000!!!

For small stuff like this you might get a qt jar filled with WD40 just to dip the entire thing in.

Nice work👍🏼

I am in the process of rebuilding an ancient Soviet "Vostok" case compass which was basically a Vostok standard case, the registers printed on a sticker in the case back and the watch innards substituted with a very simple compass that you wore on your wrist like a standard Vostok watch. Some Vostok watches whether by design or accident ended up with the compass printed casebacks seen as a useful emergency tool to aid navigation with your watch but not very practicable as it meant opening caseback to the elements.

what's the liquid he use with the screws???

You should be more cautious around tritium. Your could get cancer.

Good result, nice finished product but the video is too long.

"It's" = "it is;" " Its" = (of a thing) ie "Its cover [say a book's] is torn."

I was given one of these when I was 14 years old as new in the belt case. I used it all over the world to sighte in microwave antennas. It still is in fine shape and as new after 60 years!

It's like watching a train wreck. You're constantly cringing, but you can't look away.

Its interesting that it has meters marked on it even though the USA has never moved over to metric from imperial

15:42 гост 86?????????? it is from ussr!!!

Good job

The end result looks great, but I'm certain that you could've done a better job painting that unit. Ps.: I love your masking tape tags.

Looks like the sheep that writes the captions messed up at 0:44

A compass that hasn't been touched in years? must've bean an 2LT's lmfao

Beaten up? BEATEN UP? I was ISSUED compasses that look like this lol.

3:30 looked painful, it sliced the glove open.

3:29 Am i the only one who see the the little cut in the glove?

I wish my father was still alive to see this. He would've found this so fascinating.

awesome video.. where did you find all the old stuff??

3:30 that sliced through the gloves

the reason it needs controlled disposal is that the tritium used to make it glow in the dark is radioactive. it's prolly ok as long as you don't go licking the needle, or keeping it in your underoos.

Can anyone recommend me a spray paint this is identical to the one that the army uses? I have some old m18 smokes and ammo cans that I want to repaint but I can’t find the perfect shade of od green. I tried a few brands but they are usually to light

Pains me to see the granny knot rather than a square knot in the string. Though realistically it would be untied and retied all the time as a granny knot anyways.

Very good, as ever!!!

3:29 Painfully???

Ha! Classic mistake. I’ve seen the compass. Now I know where you live!

"...restored OLD U.S. Army lensatic..." (me with sad face remembering using these when I served). Excellent restore, though!

Great job, let's do well, see you all again

Will follow 🤣🤣👍

Brings back lots of old memories. Thinking about finding one of these for my son now that's he's in boy scouts.

16:24 Yes, I guess we should!

7:36 Why do label everything? Please feel free to tell me!

6:06 because of satisfying me, you get a like and a subscribe from me🙂😘! Keep entertaining us! Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩!

I got a military compass that needs to be restored

you tied a granny knot in the cord.....it will come undone

Any idea what year this item is from?

i have probably fake copy of this compass

where do you buy the kompas water ? 😉

Right at the end when you put a reef knot in the lanyard you didn't. You made a granny-knot. At each end of the knot the two elements have to pass through the loops together.

3:30 be careful dude Looks very hurt

I remember these from Boy Scouts and the scary radiological warning on the back. Oh no, you opened it!

bettern ANY depot job!

HOw'd he get ahold of my old compass? Q/M...?

There'd a tooth paste jel that is finer than car polish that will work very well too, on lenses watch crystals and hard to remove brown bathtub stains. Its called Aim

Satery Woap

아 이거 나 군대에서 탄약고 근무설때 쓰던건데 ㅅㅂ...

I would appreciate it if you visit grgone.info

beaten up us army

you are lucky you have that model. The one I have has the radiation symbol on it, I think it was the original model with tritium 120mCi 3H in it.

2:24 thought it was bleeding. XD

3:27 who did not feel that....

I got one like this when i was younger I didn't know how to use it

120 mCi of 3H.... Controlled Disposal Required. What part of that compass had tritium in it?

✌🌷🌷🌷

3:30 you can see the glove was ripped

Beautiful restauration, but with one fault: at 14:47 the knot is wrong. here the correct version: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5c/Knoten_Kreuzknoten.jpg

What is that weird wire on the cover of all compasses

3:58 bro you launched that into the stratosphere!

Isn't that radium that makes it glow? when you started using the polishing compound on the lens, I expected a caption of "one eternity later" before seeing the finished result.

I will always appreciate your sense of humor :3

03:27 -Ouch!
