Barber Pole

[Eric]

Thank You Craiglist!!!
$50... Needs a little TLC but it lit up (before I
had to cut the wire and take it down)
but doesn't turn.... But I'll get it going?(I Hope)...
Did anyone ever find a place for parts?
This one is a Marvin?.... Needs to be cleaned can't read it all...
But I thought it was a good deal.... And will
look cool
over my barber chair... (Barber or Barbor) Hmmm...
anyway..... Anyone ever mess with one?
Didn't collecture or Signguy go to an auction a
little  while back for 2 poles?....

[Eric]

Hmmm... try this one

[Jim]

Try the attachments one more time...
This usually happens when we get close to server space limits, so I have raised the limit...

[Eric]

Whew!... OK.... there it is.... she ain't the prettiest...
But will be nice with a little elbow grease and a few new parts...
Thanks Jim...

I have one just like it. I found all my parts in Louisville.

Great Job!
The William Marvy Company is still in business.
Willaim Marvy Co. website
They sell everything you might need to get it looking good - glass, motors, striped paper insert...
There were two type motors - A & B
They can tell you the difference between the two.
As I recall, one was like a cup and the other had a pin.
I called them and they were real helpfull over the phone.
I needed an 18" tube insert, but had to order it uncrimped so I could use my original parts.
I checked with a couple of barber supply houses here in Phoenix also,
but they were the same price and would order them from Marvy as well.
Again - you got to love Craigslist.
Congrats!

I have the marvy pole from where I got my first haircut. Cost me 75 bucks. I just replaced the spinner and painted it in silver hammertone. It looks great.

Thanks collecture I sent them a email...
also found a place called  www.pabarberpole.com
has the same parts will se how they compare...

It was a older couple .. she had it out on their back porch.... she plugged it in to show me that it lit up
but said it didn't turn anymore... She unplugged it...
gave me a ratchet and a wire cutter It was down and paid for in minutes! I have a barber chair from a shop
that closed down in the town I live in, I have a OLD
hat rack that's made out of a pine tree from the shop
that cut my hair in Springfield, MO
I would say the rack is 70+ years old and  now this
pole! All I need is some sissors and a razor and I'm in Business!!!!! '>
