Turbo 16 Neon Sign
« on: November 18, 2015, 05:53:13 AM »
So I finally got in the little plastic clips that hold the neon tubes in place and decided to take some pictures of this Turbo 16 sign since I cant seem to find much info about it anywhere. Someone local told me these were used in the Montgomery Wards Department Stores back in the day but not sure. Enjoy and any info would be appreciated

That's pretty sexy, even without the 'grafx'.  :mrgreen:

Neat, shame it's not orange.  I guess there was a bottom piece too?

Dont think so. It has 2 chains to hang it and 3 acrylic pegs to rest it against a glass window.

I'd guess it was made at a local sign shop for some game store, not official gear distributed by NEC.

Love it. I would drive my wife crazy with that sign. It just might be the single purchase that caused our divorce. It would be like Kramer and the Kenny Rogers sign!

Always loved neon light...especially on kitschy mom and pop motels!  Another era!   :)

Maybe a larger chain, but yeah, I can't see NEC straying so far from their own style sheet.
