    Buddy of mine just opened up a New Orleans style cafe here in Lexington called Tchoupitoulas(named after a street in NOLA) and asked me what I could do with a busted up Heineken neon sign with this at the bottom. Salvaged only these two unbroken tubes and mounted on background with added digital prints of comedy and tragedy faces. I better get some really good grub out of this bad boy!!

      It's a great way to recycle old tubes that would have more than likely been tossed. I like it!

      I hear ya Neonking! Hated to toss other busted up tubing but just not cost effective on the Chinese made beer signs to repair/replace. I'm more inclined to restoring old porcelain/neon signs and clocks but happy to make "something out nothing"!
      LOVE NEON!!!

      Hey Neonking, you wouldn't happen to have any of the old school porcelain pass thru bushings that are about the same size as a #100 glass housing would you???

      Can you post a pic? Not sure what bushings you are referring to
