    Just picked up a few from a liquor store that was closing down (getting bulldozed over). Spent a few $$ fixing the broken ones, and trying to sell locally so I don't have to deal with shipping (hence the reason for not posting in classifieds). Pics attached of the two I have, will upload more of the two that are coming back from repairs as soon as I get them returned and working.

    I'd love to know where to take them to get fixed, I have one that needs some work.

    How big is the Bud Light sign? :)

    Took them to these guys:

    New transformer is going to cost me around $100, and Im getting a tube replaced on another (probaby 6-7 feet of tube) for $90.

    The Bud Light neon is 55" wide and 17" tall. It's huge! The Heineken is almost as wide, but not quite as tall.

    What do you want for the Heineken sign? I could pick it up.

    Damn, I was just in Frisco, last Thursday!

    As you found, using the right shop, neon repair is pretty easy!

    Check your PMs

    If you're interested, I may be heading down to Houston (Katy specifically) in a few weeks to hang out with some of my navy friends.
