Back in my youth I took over my parents basement and had about 20 neons signs…mostly beer. My lady friend never let me port them to our house, so I ended up selling them all as a lot at a pretty good price.

But today, I made a comeback. She agreed to a non beer sign…a jukebox. So I picked this up today and was like “oh crap…how will I make this work?!” It was a little bit larger than I anticipated…

I’ll post when I’m able to get this thing in the game room and hung!!

Boom sha ka la ka!!! It took me like 2 hours, but I got this thing hauled into the basement and hung on the wall. I’m just glad I lined the walls with hickory recently and didn’t have to find studs. Getting this up today was not as bad as I though it was going to be.

I wish it wasn’t hidden slightly by a pin, but what can you do…this light is 4’ by 6’

Still have some cleaning up to do and I’ll build a walnut/hickory box to hide the transformers as well as an acrylic shield so my kids don’t demolish it!! Baby steps…

I’m glad I saved you the burden!!

I’m waiting for the picture when it’s hung on your wall above the pins!!!!

I know nothing other than a gentleman was a collector of a lot of things. He had a few older pinballs and lots of traffic lights and gum all machines and …well… like 3 small warehouses of stuff. He found this along the way. He passed a few years ago. Niece and nephew are clearing estate.

I picked up the jukebox neon for $500. Definitely vintage and needs to be cleaned up. But I like!

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!
