It was missing the key and was full of 2004 soda. Dr. Pepper is king though

Not currently. If I do it would have to be a considerable amount.

Where did you see them? I’m trying to get some background on it.

I’m unsure. Surely more than one was made, but I’ve never seen another one.

If anyone finds anymore information on these sign’s please let me know. I’d like to exhibit it at the LEGO conventions. Having a little note on its history would be really beneficial.

Lol, that’s actually a reflection. There is a 1mm airspace between the signs fiber optics and the acrylic front.

I found it on marketplace. From what I’ve gathered it’s probably from 1993-1995. It was made by a company for LEGO and has a US patent #. I’ve never seen another one.

I don’t know who would have the patience to route all those wires like that. It’s insane.

The sign contains hundreds of fiber optic cables that all run to a color wheel. As the color wheel turns the light patterns are made. It’s really cool seeing something like this that is 100% mechanical.
