Can anyone recommend a neon repairman in the New Jersey/New York area ? I have a large Buick sign I would like to hang in my Dad's new barn. The glass tubing is long gone, but I thought it would be neat to resurrect one side of it if the cost wasn't too painful. Thanks, Ed

Ed if you check with the sign shops in your area they can point you in the right direction. Get a couple quotes & see who can give you the best price & see if the other guy can beat it. If you want to post a pic of before & after we would love to see it. You can send it to me also & I can post it for you. Good luck

Thanks Brad I will definitely get a before picture when I dig it out. Most of our stuff is buried in storage so the old barn could be knocked down. It will be a trip rediscovering all the goodies and having an "empty" canvas to start filling up when the new one is done!! Do you have any relatives in Jersey? I have my VW's worked on at Ralston's Sunoco. Ed

Ed I have no relation with the Ralston last name there. I would like to see a pic of the Sunoco service station. That would be cool

Not in NY/NJ, but I know there is a neon shop in Bangor, PA and one in Allentown, PA., neither of which would be too far from you. If you want, I'll get the names/pnone numbers.
Also, would you have Kozy's phone number. I know where his shop is but I'd like to call him before I go there. I know you and he are buds.
