1960's Duncan Parking Meter Restoration 

That was very pleasing to watch you restore that old parking meter . I remember too many times back in the day using one and putting coin into them. I sure do miss those meters and those days . Thank you for your showing and skill .

This turned out nice 🙂 I personally have repainted them myself a handful of times when I collected them and they are surprisingly heavy duty and heavy lol, they are made of a magnesium aluminum alloy and are difficult to spray paint when taken down to bare metal, this guy definitely did a better job than I personally have in any of mine that I had in the past, but I admire his attention to details that I personally overlooked on the ones I worked on, GREAT JOB RESTO MAN 😎

Interesting refurbishing project. Never seen the insides of a parking timer meter before... Thanks for posting it. Thumbs Up!

Wow ! Amazing Job. I always wondered how many items there was in one of these . Now I know it takes a lot of steps to clean an repair these parking meters. Thank you for sharing all this that was cool. Take care of you and yours. ❤️ ❤️

Awesome job you did restoring that old parking meter it working order. It looks much better too. Great work.

Everytime I see one of these, all I can think of is the scene in "Cool Hand Luke" where he cuts a whole mess load off their poles.

Nice 👍

The stand is a great idea. Great for the bedroom for jokes with the wife that she has only what’s on the clock 😂

1960's parking meter? Astounding how well preserved it is! Back then they knew how to do robust things. Not like nowadays :(

Perfect restoration.....

Quality job, well done.👍👍👍

Now I need my own laser etching machine! 🙂

Awesome job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

Is there a reason you changed the colors on the violation sign and the expired sign? Where did the police sign go?

Your in violation!!! LOL Great work 👏 👍!!

Very nice!

Awesome Awesome Video 👍👍 😀

Great job!

SHOW! AMAZING JOB!

Whenever you punch rivets out from behind on name plates, put a piece of hard polistirene (the pink one) under. The rivets will sink the foam, but the name plate won't deform or bend and will remain undamaged.

Nice! I would have liked to have seen what you did to restore the glass/plexiglass.

Old is gold🌹❤️

Amazing Job~! Very Goooooood~~~~~~~~~~~~~!

Muy buena Restauración y siempre cuidando los detalles. FELICIDADES. Saludos desde Barcelona Catalonia.

Благодарность мастеру за отличную работу. Сделано с душой. Респект и уважение. Удачи на канале.🛠️📹👍🔥

Verry nice..

At 26:24 I felt my life ticking away

I wonder if that is one of the ones cool hand Luke cut down with a pipe wrench.

En mi país todavía se usan estos viejos aparatos

I really like your video work, bro. Though there are some details you don't show. But you made it very smooth. Nice job buddy🍻🍻

Great job! I'm working on one myself and I love the laser engraved parts. Can you make them available?

Nice! I would have liked to have seen what you did to restore the glass/plexiglass. Or did you replace i?

Thanks for not using unnecessary lubricant! Too many times it's used when not needed.

Use it as a kitchen timer. ⏳

Beautiful powder coat work! Did you clean that glass, or replace it? If you cleaned it, I would have liked to see it. Thanks for the video.

25:48 Oh, good. Going traditional. :)

Thanks a lot It was beautiful and joyful watching it But it would be better if we could learn more for example how you polished the window? thanks

Excellent work my friend but i sugested the nickel parts are clean ando bath the rest 👍🏻🇻🇪❤️ Say hello from Venezuela

I have a parking meter I would love to get restored but I can’t seem to find someone to do it. Any recommendations?

What happen to the "Police will not turn handle tag? It was removed but not replaced???

What happen to the small sign that read "POLICE WILL NOT TURN HANDLE"?

Another one of your Better Than New restorations! Wow, that thing has a lot of parts! Where the heck do you find parts for it? Well done, my man! All you nee now is a ticket book and some suckers...

I didn’t see you refurbish the Perspex, did you just get a replacement?

Do the police now turn the handle?

What type of paint setup is that? Mind adding details, either here or in the description? Results are super smooth.

Print yourself up some tickets and put it at the end of your driveway LOL

Did you refurbish the timer mechanism off camera? Or was it in good shape?

Good looking restoration! There's a lot of people that like things like this as décor Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up for the support of your channel

Do know when the yellow violation flag comes instead of the red time expired one?

wondering why you never added police will not turn knob back on under the glass?

Somebody's gotta go back and get a schydtload a' dimes...

Привет ребята

12 minutes for a penny!!

🤨⚠️ - that suction hole in your spray booth looks a bit too small to extract all of the powder ~ I could see some of it wafting out the sides, you need the size of a box fan with a furnace HEPA filter strapped to the back of it to get all of the powder dust 😉

How are you so fearless about everything and put the dirty clock works back in untouched? Also how did you get the words on the flags?

These things were such ripoffs... no matter how many coins I put in, I never got a gumball.

I could watch an entire video of just sandblasting

Install it on your driveway. Charge 'em for blocking you in. Or charge your kid for Playstation time. Tell him he doesn't get the pocket money back until he's done his homework!

Dear sir, you forgot to put the black strip, ( police will not turn the handle ) Check the video.

I think I'm old enough to have seen them but growing up we never went into the city
