Griesbaum Whistler Bellows Restoration
By Don Haga

I want to express my appreciation for all the good information
I have found in MMDigest concerning the restoration of my fledging
collection of Karl Griesbaum whistlers.  I have recently, successfully,
restored the bellows on my first whistler and I decided to video
document the process I used.

I created a nine-part video series that describes the entire
restoration process, including fabrication and installation of new
silicon valves to replace the old internal "paper" valves.  I hope
they can help others to restore or understand what is involved in
bringing the old whistlers back to life.

The first video can be found using the following link:

The rest can be found on my channel and have the same title as the
first except the roman numeral at the end goes from I, II, ... IX.
Enjoy!
