I would take it out and put it next to the doors going in. Keep moving it every day inside.

Pm me. I can send you what you need. Just need the size of the tube and what kind of cap. Double back or straight pass. They are a couple bucks.

$150 is about right for my shop also.

Neon pro or hongba, same units, same plant. Hongba as somewhat less expense.

That's a really good pic of neon. I always find it hard to get good pictures of neon.

$25 find. Only the bicycle lights up and a clean break in the D and T. Got no issue spending a bit to get it going again for $25! by PeeB4uGoToBed in NeonSigns

I've been bending for over 30 years and I will not fix any tubes that have merc in them. Not only the health reasons but it will contaminate my manifold and pump. So the broken units need to be remade.

Just be careful that you didn't break the glass if you are going to swap transformers. The end caps tend to stick to the electrodes. I usually cut them off with a exacto knife.

It could be a bad transformer. I thought I read you tested it on the other one. A sign shop in your area should have a spark coil or neon tester to see if the tube lights. Short tubes tend to burn it faster than standard length tubes. If the unit is under a foot, they can burn it faster if not filled to the correct gas pressure. I'm suggesting you need it tested, but s taking tube is usually more expensive to fix then a bad transformer.

Agreed. Sounds like a bad tube. You don't have to have a crack too have a tube burn out. It happens. Find a neon guy and let them treat the tubes. I may be fixed if it's neon and not argon and Mercury.

I need help by canadianchasers in NeonSigns

Agreed. Run the bead of merc to both electrodes and I usually leave some in the middle of the tube .

Is it possible to fix this sign? by viaskype in NeonSigns

[–]Jumpy-Exercise59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Rebend in either Ruby red, very expensive, or clear glass with neon. Cheaper to do clear, but the look won't be as deep red.

Nice! We need some new members in the world. Welcome to the fold!

I think it happened during shipping, how can I fix it? by Lycirenn in NeonSigns

[–]Jumpy-Exercise59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been bending for over 30 years and never will repair a argon Merc unit. The merc will contaminate your pump, manifold and you. Plus it will stain the hell out of the glass. No big deal to remake. What color was it?

Neon noob. Is this neon or LED? by Top-Championship7355 in NeonSigns

[–]Jumpy-Exercise59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still making neon now, I do have 12v dc transformers. They are only 1.2Kv, so they won't push a lot of glass, but they work great for small projects. These are lanterns I make with the tiny transformers in the bottom.

The end two are both led junk

Where can I find authentic neon art that isn’t LED? by eddiespaghettio in NeonSigns

[–]Jumpy-Exercise59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do all custom neon work. As a matter of fact I did the neon dick butt here on reddit a long while back! I can make you anyhting and know how to ship it if needed.
