So today I made some progress on my sign, I removed the old transformer, timing unit, and the sketchy wiring.
I received my new transformer with the blinking feature from the sign lady.
I used JB weld to secure a couple of posts to mount the transformer inside. I went and bought a piece of colored acrylic sheeting and cut a piece to replace the broken glass.
After I get it all together, I will try posting a video of the sign blinking.
