Well guys, I’m at a loss here. Got all these Neons here and don’t know what to do with them.
I’ve mentioned that my original neon didn’t work. It’s a shame too, because, besides a dime size dent on the trim, it’s really in mint condition. So I order a glitch inverter. Kinda sucked to wire it up, and it still didn’t work. Took it to a neon light shop, they hit it with the “wand” and it didn’t light. They said if I could get to the bulb, they “might” be able to fix it. So I started to look for a spare...
I stumbled across a chrome light assembly that is in very nice shape. Only flaw I can find is about a 2” sag in the diffusor. Hardly noticeable really. The inverter is bad with this one, but threw the glitch inverter into it and it came alive! Ah, Neon!
Y’all know the problem with installing a chrome light assembly on a red LSC. I could have it painted, but I still don’t have the right letters on it.
So a red one comes up on that auction site. I’m sure somebody around might have been looking at it. Described rather poorly, questionable feedback. He had a 7 day return on it. Personal message says it is not damaged. I get it...
This one has been repainted (some orange peel) and some scratches in the lens that I can buff out. Some yahoo also put “Custom” letters in front of the LSC letters. It has very minor mold in it. Plugged the glitch inverter into it and it lights.
So I have two not “perfect” working lights and one “near perfect” non-working light. Wife says I can’t just keep collecting these things (I disagree, I call them “commodities”).
Any ideas? Not real crazy about cutting them up yet...Has anybody gotten the “LSC” letters off without damaging them?
