When it comes to repairing an iconic neon sign, it’s not just about fixing the broken tubes or replacing the faulty transformers. It’s about preserving a piece of history and ensuring that the sign continues to shine bright. Recently, our team here at YESCO South Central PA had the opportunity to repair one of our local neon signs.
Our process involved doing a thorough inspection of the sign to determine the extent of the damage. This involved climbing up onto the sign and using a cherry picker to get a closer look. Once the inspection was complete, our expert repair team began to assess what needed to be done to bring the sign back to its former glory.
Next, our team carefully removed any broken or damaged tubes and replaced them with new ones. In many cases, we may replace faulty transformers or wiring to ensure that the sign is functioning properly. This is a delicate process that requires a steady hand and an eye for detail.
Once the repairs were complete, the team tested the sign to ensure that it is lighting up properly and that all of the colors are vibrant. This involved making adjustments to the wiring or transformers to get the perfect balance of light and color.
Finally, the team cleaned the sign to remove any dirt or grime that had accumulated over the years. This is an important step in preserving the sign and ensuring that it continues to shine bright for years to come.
In the end, repairing an iconic neon sign is about more than just fixing a broken piece of equipment. It’s about preserving a piece of history and ensuring that future generations can appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of these unique and iconic signs.
