    Im pretty sure you just need to make sure the hz is the same and that it will supply a minimum of the old supply’s 9000 volts. My buddy just replaced his old 9k transformer with a 10k off amazon

    The big Blue Moon’s are great. Found mine at a great deal years ago along with a big Rolling rock in purple.F4804268-21DC-4967-B3F1-7602B077A337 (resized).jpegF4804268-21DC-4967-B3F1-7602B077A337 (resized).jpeg

    Quoted from meSz:

    Newcastle did a few of these "comical" signs. I had one that said "This will look great in somebody's basement".

    This one? Unfortunately its an led sign, I like it in the basement tho.

    Thats a bummer. Prolly wouldnt bee too pricey to have someone bend a new tube.

    #2162 7 months ago
    Quoted from gdonovan:

    I'm thinking about contacting the company that made the sign and see if replacement glass is available.
    I'm doubtful but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

    Looks like there are a few neon shops near Montville after a google search. Its a small one tube single color, prolly wouldnt be crazy to have one of them fix it.

    Quoted from gdonovan:

    Well that answer that question.
    Unfortunately I don't know anyone whom makes signs or repairs in the area.

    This place is an hour from Montville

    There are a few other neon shops a bit further out as well. Just google neon repair in your area.

    I bought the red arcade sign off CL a few years ago for a song. Its transformer died a year ago. A friend took it to his neon guy and added my name above it in fat tube and gave it back to me as a gift. Thanks Nick!

    Does anyone know much about LED signs? I have a Newcastle sign that was turned on and off rapidly and now does not power on. Worked fine for years until the rapid on off on off it got.

    Btw, It has an external brick power supply

    Quoted from Coyote:

    Get a new power supply with the same ratings (or higher amperage) first and foremost.

    So this power supply is just toast? Anyone repair one? Maybe ill crack it open and have a poke around.
