Except this is FAKE neon.

Finally joined the club

That's a nice sign. Labatt makes some nice hockey related signs. If you look through this thread I have pics of several Labatt Penguins neon signs and clocks they made.

Whilst not neon, still pretty neat sign. If it's transparent enough, would be great if you put some LEDs behind "pinball" to light it up a little.

Where’d you have this made, or was it something you did yourself? I’d love to get a gameroom sign made like that.

Yeah, I’d love to know your process to make this, like what led strips, dc converter, and how you shaped the strips or what you used in design…if you’re willing to share!

Got them all working now. The C2 Corvette sign needed a new power supply.

Hello, looking for some technical advice; I have a Yuengling beer sign that went out. All I get is a brief flicker, then nothing. I did what I usually do, go to Amazon and buy a replacement power supply with similar specs. I got a lot of buzzing and the tubes in the middle of the circuit glowed only dimly. I think of that as an indication of insufficient voltage. It "worked" for 10 or 15 minutes and went out. Now I'm back to where I started; just a brief flicker when I apply power, then nothing. I suppose the replacement power supply could have been defective out of the box. Any other ideas? The first picture below is of the original power supply. The second picture is the replacement power supply. Thanks!

If it is a newer sign might be a bad electrode which is not uncommon.

I had the same thing happen.

I bought it new, probably about 15 years ago.

Sounds as if you have a bad tube, not a bad power supply. If you don't have a tester you can test each tube individually. Take the rubber boots off, untwist the wires and check each tube individually. MAKE CERTAIN THE WIRES AREN'T TOUCHING THE FRAME OR ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE TURNING ON. You'll probably find that one of the tubes is bad.

I had exact same problem with Captain Morgan sign. Worked fine for 15 min with new power supply and then failed again.

Tube tested fine with tester. You can see the angry electrode in picture.

Asked a local vendor for a quote on replacing the electrode and the guy would only reply with "just send it, talk about price later"

eh.. no.

Yeah the tester is not always the best way to go as it sends pulses so it can appear to be good when it's not.

Your local vendor close enough you can drop off? If so, that's how I meant the one I used for years. Lady ran the place, was skeptical at first but when I dropped it off I had her give me a receipt that showed I left it with her. Week later went to pick it up and she told me "no charge, give me your business going forward". Did for ten years then she went out of business. In short, you never know.

Nope, 3 hours round trip.

Not quite neon, but pretty damn cool none the less. I finally picked up a Dairy Queen lighted cone. Hella bright, and super obnoxious. I also recently acquired a huge blow mold sign half. That thing, I have absolutely zero clue what to do with lol but I could t let it go to the trash.

Hi all, found a picture of this on the internet. Does anyone have this or perhaps this was a special order? I’d love to find one….
