Found this sign on marketplace. I drove 4 hrs. round trip yesterday to pick it up. I wife wanted to know what I wanted for Christmas and this is one thing that I showed her and she said "ok". It was very dirty and I had to scrub the plastic with a scotch brite pad. Everything works good. It had a crack in the plastic but I was able to get the plastic to lay back down. I glued it and you can't hardly see it anymore. Paid $40 which I thought was very good. The ballast has a date of 1972 so I believe it's made about that time.

Thanks!

It's hard to find around here. He had somebody 300 miles away that wanted it but the seller didn't want to ship it. I don't blame him. It's 3 ft. long x 18" x 10" . That's not an easy size package to ship.

That's a cool sign. Do you know where you are going to hand it?
Thanks!

I told my wife I was going to hang it in the kitchen so I could see it all of the time (I'm the cook in the family). She said no!!!

I plenty of wall space in my shop so I guess it will go there. :)

Looks good - two clocks will keep you twice as busy when the power goes off and you try and resynchronize the hands. Looks like right now one is a little later than the other. :D

Yes it will!

They are an hour apart so I don't have to switch them for daylight saving. :)

Damn it, wish I saw it first hee hee. Oh well, if I can get a Tecumseh or kohler sign or something like you got I'll be happy. Obviously the very first thing I need is a shed to put this stuff in, lol. Hopefully this year in spring

Took me a long time before I had the space and time as well but eventually it happened. Good luck on finding a sign and getting a shop.
