    This might have been discussed already in this thread, but almost at 1k posts..... prob not going to read them all.

    Where/how can you learn neon sign making?

    A few years back I picked all the neon signs off the wall at an arcade in southern Illinois that closed. I think it was in a town called Marion if I remember right....

    And then I came across a few closed arcade signs at one of those old Super Auctions.......

    And got a couple of the storefront signs from an operator I purchased quite a few games from, American Amusements.

    Quoted from Viggin900:

    Those are great! I love the vintage stuff from arcades. Reminds me of Flynn's. It would be well worth the price to have them going again. These rarely survived.

    I have all the transformers for the neons as well. Grabbed those too

    Just haven't hooked anything up yet.

    I'd love to try my hand at repairing some neon signs. Glass bending and all. Anyone know of a good source for a nice set of everything you would need to get started with this? Could be fun to learn I think.
