A YouTuber from central Ukraine has restored a rusty old alarm clock that dates back to the time of the Soviet Union.<br /><br />Footage from July 28 shows the restoration process, which took a total of two days, where the parts of the 1940s-era Slava watch are painstakingly taken apart and gently dipped in acid to remove the rust.<br /><br />The YouTuber, who runs the popular Olly channel, then put back together all the tiny cogs and pieces.<br /><br />Olly wrote: "The clock has some rust on it and I was to sand everything flat and replaced the parts that have been nickel-plated originally.<br /><br />"Disassembly was very difficult because the parts were very small, some bolts were one millimetre in size.<br /><br />"First, I took the clock apart and began to process it, [to] remove rust and dirt. [I] also dipped parts in acid to dissolve rust.
