Title: Amazing--Capco neon sign in action
Post by: sc1101 on June 03, 2014, 09:57:59 pm
This is one neon sign I would love to find. I've never even seen one for sale before. You must watch video to get the real effect. Picture would do no good here Johnie.

Any clue what the size is on it? The Capco miniature title throws it a little bit for me.  Definitely a cool piece.

That is definitely a cool sign to have in your collection.  When I saw it I knew that I had seen one in the past few years and it was at Morphy Auctions.  Here is the link:

I kinda figured it would be in that range. I didn't see that auction. Thanks for the info. That info makes me want it even more.

There are new  spped control transformers available now.  I had one installed in a sign to rpelace the original that smoked. While it may be  $$$$ to have one built, I imagine it's still  cheaper than finding an original

That's good to know if I ever find one of these. I doubt I'll ever see one up for sale though. The rare stuff comes up for sale every once in a blue moon and seems to disappear. I think there must be one person or company that has an amazing Coca Cola collection never seen by the public because it seems like signs and other machines seem to be sold and are never seen again.. Could it be in the basement of the World of Coca Cola along with all the other missing items???? Or are one of you holding out on showing us your collection of amazing items??  :biggrin:

If I had any of the rare stuff, I'd sure be showing it off
