Hello Andy, I read your recent message about the mechanical neon clock you have. I’ve seen something like this awhile ago but I can’t remember a lot of the details or appearance of it. Would you be considering selling this? As a member of the Neonixie group, I am just crazy enough to attempt a repair out of curiosity and thrill of conquest!. Please advise at your convenience.
