Here is a new video !!
This is a tin toy submarine produced by the English brand Sutcliff in 1951.
No screws, no rivets...
Tens of thousands were produced... A few remain into the lakes all over the world... I just tried to save one :)
The clockwork engine was in very bad shape and the spring had to be changed.
I really thought i couldn't fix the engine... but I made it ;)
I made new labels.
Please watch till the end to see this 1951's abandoned submarine in action !
By supporting the channel you help me make more of these video and find more amazing items.
I hope you'll enjoy this restoration.
Thanks a lot for watching !

  • Ohhh Mr. The Fabrik, you really are the absolute tops at this, aren't you bud 😁. Excellent work, and a beautiful result. Brought a really nice feeling as well watching it bobble along in the water. A heartfelt reminder of the childhood wonder and joy of playing with toys of things from the real world 😊. Honestly, if I had to choose between a games console and this - it'd be this every time 👊👊👊. Thanks man 🙏. 😎

  • Putting aside the amount of rust, the efforts you had to deploy to strip the paint including the lthographed markings, and open up the shell is an obvious testament to the amazing build (and mechanical) quality of Sutcliffe toys - with almost no part needing replacing!

    • Have you seen the box for these ?. it states that if the sub needs repair it can be posted back to the factory with 40p and the motor will be replaced and returned to the sender. If the repair is less than a replacement then it will be fixed and returned with the change !!!! Unbelievable.

  • I loved this, not only for the skill shown, but also because, back in the 1950s my parents bought me a similar submarine, a version of this styled on the Nautilus sub from the film “20,000 Leagues under the Sea”, a variation that Sutcliffe made. Hours of fun playing in the water-butt in the garden. I admire your skill and tenacity at fixing what I would regard as ‘hopeless’. Thank you for a blast down Memory Lane. And thank you that you always show your restorations working at the end. Toys are MEANT to be played with! Les in UK 🇬🇧

  • Incredible quality toy - all parts either soldered or brazed. I had a Sutcliffe 'Nautilus', which, sadly, now lies deep in the silt of an extremely deep local pond. Knowing the build quality, it'll probably be found, almost intact, by archaeologists, in a few centuries time! Great restoration! Thank you. 👍👍👍

    • @@nyotamwuaji6484 - I lost mine in about 1975. The pond is an old brick clay pit, and it was known to have been at least forty feet deep at one end. One end was shallow, but it shelved off really deep after about ten feet or so. It was fed by a spring, and the water was always icy cold. In the late 1990's, the Town Council made the area the pond is in, into a park, and ruined a lot of it by making it 'safer': a very long mudslide, enjoyed by thousands of kids over the years, had steps cut into it. A hazardous path over the edge of a sandpit (about 25-30 feet up), which again had been used as a test of nerve by generations of kids, was methodically cut away. The remains of this were dumped into the pond, making it a good deal shallower, and burying my 'Nautilus', (which had gone down in the deepest part), forever. 💀💀💀

It went down... And did not return. The pond (which was part of an old clay quarry) was about 40 feet deep in the middle: I had swum in it, and couldn't see the bottom. A few weeks ago, I was 60. I think I can leave my Nautilus to rest now. A really fun toy, though. (sigh). 🤬🤬🤬😆😆😆

  • This is just a suggestion and I'm not an expert on electronic pickling / electrolysis. I clean vintage cast iron cookware using this method. It is a line of sight type cleaning so the more sacrificial anodes you have around the tank the more thoroughly it will clean. I have sheet metal lining the inside of my tank and it does fine. Experiment with more anodes and see if your results improve. Love the channel.

Le submersible qui circule sous l'eau de la piscine à la fin - le jeux de la lumière, les rayons de soleil à travers l'eau, les reflets, je pourrais regarder pendant des heures... et tout le reste aussi... 17.55 minutes de pure joie. Et en plus, je pense avoir joué avec ce même jouet pendant mon enfance (comme un autre bateau que tu avais restauré). Sometime in the 1960s between France and the UK. Thanks a million.

  • Excellent restauration as per usual. The basic body design seemed very similar to the Nautilus that you did. Were they made by the same manufacturer?. I remember my envy as a very small child in the late 50ies when I saw other kids playing with the very toy at the local wading pool. 😁

  • I had one of these when I was about five. I always wanted to see inside it, so you have done me a great favour! It was great to see its characteristic porpoising through the water again. I can clearly remember sailing mine in in the intertidal pools on Ayr beach.1961or 62. What struck me from the restoration was how complex the manufacturing process was. It must have been hard to make a profit.

The shell-shocked Vietnam War veteran John Gabron had a hard time putting his combat experiences behind him. He should've received government compensation. Did you notice that the U.S. Congress never sent one man or woman who was a former porn star as an American G.I. off to combat? Not especially back in 1964. They didn't even do such a thing back in 1953. When Marilyn Monroe was the first Playboy centerfold.

  • Great job, very sympathetic to the original, which is always a prime requirement when restoring. The periscope is better thant the one that came with the submarine, but I doubt whether that one was original. Great post, thank you.

  • I had one of these Sutcliffe clockwork submarines when I was a kid. It worked pretty well. I don’t think they were finished that well from the factory. Ha ha

  • Absolutely amazing, you are VERY skilled. I don't think you could find anything comparable today that would be MADE IN ENGLAND. It would probably be from China.

  • I can remember playing with my one of these back in the 70's, I think early to mid 70's. I had a big plastic "modern" type sub as well that was battery powered, but this clockwork marvel was the right size for bath time.
