I finally got around to posting a few short video clips of my POP motion signs:

Great collection! I have the "Zenith Chromacolor" sign; the retiring dealer couldn't believe I'd want "that old thing".

I love these signs. At Zenith, "The Quality Goes In Before The Cat Goes On".

That Quasar sign is cosmic!

Glad you like it, but the Motorola underneath is my favorite. I believe it dates back to Motorola's first foray into color with the 19 inch roundies. When I got it the motor was dead. It was marked 4 rpm. The only mechanically fitting replacement I could find is marked 16 rpm, which you can see is quite slow. It's hard to believe that it originally was four times slower - doesn't seem like such a slow color change would attract much attention.
