    I can't wait to find this thing a permanent spot on the wall in my shop.

    Very nice! Jon's a good one for hooking you up.

    I have a friend of a friend who builds neon signs, and let me tell you that depending on the size that's most likely a $3-500 sign to make.

    It's a lost art, no one does neon anymore, they all come to this guy.

    Give us a pic when it's hanging in the shop iffn' you don't mind that is.

    Jon1270 just hooked me up with a great deal on a 550xp off of his local craigslist. He's a great guy and a craigslist wizard.

    I was very tempted to hang this in my window for a few days as a substitute for Christmas lights.

    I have 2 separate neon guys right next door to me, and a third guy that used to due the glass work but doesn't any more- still repairs them though- has the others make a tube when needed. Like everything else the raw material costs are skyrocketing. The market is shrinking some due to the advent of the LED units- but they aren't all they are cracked up to be either.
