WheelHorse79 271 #1 Posted November 29, 2013 Last week, I bought a Wheel Horse dealer sign listed on Ebay near Roanoke VA. One side of the sign was in pretty good shape, but the other side was almost obliterated. The seller said he found the sign in an old barn where the roof had collapsed on it from the snow, so I guess it was fortunate that the sign survived at all. I took it apart, cleaned it, and replaced the bad side with a piece of white paperboard. I also had to replace the old mechanical ballast with a new electronic one. Once I wired it up 2 of the 3 fluorescent tubes still worked! I plan to hang it on the wall in the garage for display. I tried to convince my wife to put it in the window for a Christmas display, but she wouldn't go for it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse79 271 #6 Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) The ironic thing is the one I bought is still listed on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261204719067?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 FYI: I didn't pay anything near $200 (less than half), and I drove to pick it up, so no shipping. This is one of my Christmas presents this year from my wife. Edited November 29, 2013 by WheelHorse79 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
