Brass Vamo V5 Thanks To Ronaldo For Helping Me Solder

[itsmeiank]

So finally got it all sanded and polished and reassembled.
Took bloody ages to sand down had to get through the chrome plating then the copper layer.
Ronaldo What a great guy was a great help as when disassembled the Vamo i broke the wires to the board and i sent it to him and he solved the problem big thanks to him.

Here it is Finished.

Yeh great guy really helpful.
Took soooo long to sand down i think they put copper over the brass to make thr chrome plating better.

Too much effort for me i'm afraid, i buy mostly brushed kit because i'm lazy & if i can only get polished & it's practical i'll brush it myself.

Shiny does look nice but it's not long before it needs buffing up again & again & again.....

Exactly what i thought

Once you've gotthe finish you like why not lacquer it to seal it?

Renaissance wax is what you need www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Renaissance-wax-Probably-the-finest-polish-available-/10000000000778905/g.html

Looks fantastic

I use it on the copper/ bronze chainmaille I make to keep it nice n shiny.
Build it up in thin layers apply leave to dry buff to shine then apply next layer. Aim for 5/6 layers minimum

I have seen this vamo in the flesh the photos really don't do it justice it really is better than the photos very good job done looks totally different and being brass as a better electrically contacts so less power loss
