Title: Neon clock
Post by: cohammer on January 22, 2014, 09:33:19 pm
Picked up this neon clock but the label is gone and I am not sure what make it may be . Does anyone know who may have made this spinner clock ? Thanks for any leads.

Good luck getting hold of Wayne

I met Al Bodrie through Slider Bob, and his work is phenomenal.  Al is prolly the premier  neon clock restorer in the nation.  And yes, Wayne has sent  gis clocks to  Al to be repaired/restored.   He's done repairs and  my game room  neon, and has a a big slection of neon clocks I so need on a wall in my house

Oh yeah, he also replies =)

Love the clock btw

Kilroy is right, for about a year and a half I tried to order something from Wayne, terrible to deal with

I have bought from wayne at shows but it is easier in person. I know this to be an old clock but I am not fond of the color. I have seen this style case but not this exact case. I am taking it to a clock shop and get an estimate on changing the word antique to something else. Maybe they can tell me more about this clock.

If you're anywhere close to Detroit  Al can do new neon and  go through your clock.

This is the sign he did. The picture sucks, not the neon work
