Title: NEON Post by: detroittvguy on October 30, 2011, 11:57:17 am Not coin-op, but here's a pic of my restored neon sign. I purchased it at a yard sale, along with another one that says "HAMBURGS." Paid a grand total of six bucks for the pair. I replaced the transformer, cleaned the neon and redid the wrinkle finish on the art deco case. The two signs hung in the window of a East Detroit, MI coffee shop for decades.

Title: Re: NEON Post by: MCarter on November 01, 2011, 09:21:47 pm I collect Chicago Cubs Neons
Title: Re: NEON Post by: mznb1u on November 01, 2011, 10:18:53 pm I have a couple. My favorite is a greyhound that is about 3 feet long and the lights that make up the legs oscillate so it looks like the hound is running. I have two adopted greyhounds so that is why it is special.
