Part 7/8:
The session wraps up with a sense of unfinished work; the speaker plans to carefully store and display the restored items and possibly repaint some of the equipment to preserve their historical appearance. They emphasize the importance of softening and preserving rubber and wires with substances like WD-40 or Vaseline, a testament to the delicate process of restoration.
The speaker concludes with broader reflections on technological progress—acknowledging the role of computers like iPads as useful tools but lamenting the declining interest in the mechanical intricacies that once defined human innovation. They express hope that future generations might appreciate these "Old-Timers" and the stories they tell about a different era of engineering excellence.
