Title: Shop Refreshed Revolving Sign Parts
Post by: SodaShopNick on May 04, 2012, 10:07:35 pm
Anyone know where I might pick up the other lens for my Shop Refreshed Sign?  I think there were several versions, but I have seen a few that say "Have A Coke Here".  I have some running searches on eBay, but no luck so far.  Any help would be appreciated.  Please see the pictures.

I think you might have a struggle there...

Is it something that can be reproduced and stickered??

davethebirdman,

You may be right.  If anyone knows of someone that can reproduce this please let me know. 

Thanks

how big across is the disk?  Gas pump restro part sites ( weber's, Vic's , etc)  sell blank lens for gas globes( I think  the standard is 13" don't quote me) . Don't know if its the same size you need. From there a sign shop should be able to make a decal for you.
good luck, I love those signs.

I know a guy that has one and I did not buy it because I did not have holder. But the bad news is I can not find his number and he lives about 2 hours from me. I will be going back and see him in a couple of weeks and I hope he is at home . He has an old general store set up on his property and I bought several items from him last year .

That wil be a hard item to find or remake.. the lenses in these are different from the gas pump lenses..

These have a lip on them , where the gas pump lenses don't ..

probably will have find just one of the wall hanging ones or double sided ones that hang.. and swap it out

Good luck!

Kilroy,

It looks like mine is about 15.5 inches, but from what the signguy is saying the gas pump route may not work as these do have a lip on them.   Thank you either way.

Cohammer,

Let me know if you make it back to the guy you know.

Thanks everyone for your help.
