Bought more clocks today, i definitely have an addiction for these things.  The Slice is pretty crappy and the Mission could be amazing again but the plastic cover is cracked and the light and motor need attention.  The Costa Cola just needs a good cleaning.  Anyone have some info on Costa Cola?

Is that the right light in the Costa Cola? Looks red/pink to me.
Needs a white one, definately!!

Don't know a lot about Costa but their cans say they where located in Newburgh NY and the ones I have seen are from the early to mid  70's.

thanks guys, hoping to find a new plastic cover for the mission if anyone knows anything about these.  The Costa Cola looks pink but in person it is red with a white bulb.  Keep in mind i took that picture at night with it lit and through a few layers of grime I ye have to remove.

I got this website from this forum

waynesneonclocks.com

but I think their clock covers are glass.
You can find motors for sale there as well as some light
components. Maybe an email to them can recommend
a source for plastic covers? .

Brooks, here's a 1960s Dr. Pepper clock if you're interested...
