Finds at an antique store

[bgadow]

We stopped in a few antique stores today to pass the time. One had a rather large lighted sign advertising Philco Color TV, dating from the 65-67 era, I would say. No bargain, though-$175. Unfortunately the colors had faded away and it was all pretty much "monochrome" now.

Wow, I would give that for it. I am looking for one that was outside a repair shop down here in the south and I hear is that they will not take it down, too much trouble or they want 350,450, or more. I am going to have to make a trip out of my area and see what is around.

The cost is in the labor to take it down.
A sign firm, with a boom truck, probably charges $200 or more an hour.

I know where there is one now I would probably give 200 for. Its not too high,maybe 10 feet. I would take it down myself if he would sale it. I have removed similar things like this. But he told me he is just going to leave it on the building and sale it with the building.
