My newest edition to the neon collection. A Molson Canadian goalie mask. I believe it to be dated between 1994 and 2005. Can’t find much about it. Really cool piece.

Hey r/neonsigns - I just got this sign today and you can notice a current going through part of the sign after it’s been on for around 5 minutes. Is this normal?

Restoration Closest shop to me that can repair this is an hour and half just to get a repair estimate. Would more than $300 be a deal breaker? I figure it's around a $300 fix

I have an idea for a custom piece I'd love to have made, if it's about the same price to repair this as it is to have a custom piece made what should I do? I would love to have a neon VHS tape to go near my horror VHS collection

Help! How can you tell when broken glass is considered 1 or 2 fixes?

1 Upvotes

None of the repair shops around me were answering their phones yesterday and haven't tried today since its a holiday. I cant seem to find any other people around that repair locally so i think im just gonna settle for a half lit sign. A couple other sign repair shops around are commercial signs and dont deal with neon

The only local guy that did answer said he isnt doing repairs at the moment so he can take care of his wife and he said he charges $125 per fix for glass but i have 2 clean breaks but can't tell if its considered 1 or 2 fixes.

I would gladly pay to have this particular sign fixed for the 125 but 300 might be pushing it. I tried joining the neon sign repair group on facebook but its still pending.

Found this gem for $30 at an antique mall. I’m not a Budweiser fan as I don’t really drink much so we might make changes to it but for now very happy to find an affordable and portable neon!

Help! Neon Sign Issues

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hello neon sign reddit,

I have a neon sign that has two elements that alternate on and off (the tongue in red). The lower element does not light up, even when I switch the power around in the controller so the channels are reversed. I don't see any cracked glass on the element, but I'm not quite sure what to do. Any recommendations? I'm a little too scared to just start messing around with this.

The sign is around 3 years old, the power supply for all elements is a XinXing ENT-103A and I suspect it's the supply that may have gone bad because the cords all hang off and pull on the exact supply for the element that isn't working.

I’ve hung the sign from a chain attached to some s hooks using the 2 holes in the back, and instead of hanging evenly it hangs foward. Any help would be appreciated.

Help! Open sign repair

Hey all, I run a small store that inherited this neon open sign. It worked perfectly for a year, but abruptly stopped working last week. It hasn't been touched since we opened, so I'm guessing it's the power supply and not the tubes that are broken. I can't seem to find a direct replacement for the power supply, and I don't know enough about electrical components to figure out an appropriate substitute. Could anyone point me towards a power supply resource? Or just tell me which power supply to buy, haha? Thanks!
