    No sparkling wiggles in here, only dump truck grinches.

    They are cool. I had a couple old beer lights you used to see in the stores years ago. No telling where they are now.

    Sign shops used to restore/repair them... not sure how many still do, but that's where I would start.

    Let's just go ahead and make America great again!

    That is cool but not neon, neon is glass and has to be bent by hand over high heat with one end plugged and the other with a cap and hose to blow in to keep it from collapsing….. here’s one we made yrs ago

    I have a sinking feeling that neon signage will become a lost art the same way CFL lighting has been replaced by LEDs.
