In this video, I restore an old rusty live steam machine Naumann made in Germany in 1929.
More about the restoration process: It was highly challenging, but the end result is gratifying. I learned a lot about steam machines and how they work. I was motivated to see if I could make it work again, so I put a lot of soul and effort into this restoration project. When I saw it, I was shocked at how bad it looked; it was full of rust, cracks, and broken parts!
If you want to learn more about this antique German steam machine model, I encourage you to watch this video.
More about the steam machine: The machine was made in 1929, and thanks to the Naumann company, the year can be seen on the boiler. I found out they were making sewing machines, but I couldn't find anything related to steam machines. Prague 777 made the stove in the former Czechoslovakia. The machine model was probably used by a salesman to pitch his industrial technology or by a teacher in mechanic schools to make demonstrations and teach students about this fantastic engineering at that time.
At the end of the video, I made a test so you can see how it works!
I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you! Cheers! Johnny.
