I will have an Opel sign for auction at Kadettfest at midday. Pic below. There is a hairline crack on Lhs & neon does not work. All proceeds will go to Bone marrow for Lukemia trust.

Great idea and an even greater cause.

I already have one I bought from Germany 2-3 years ago and Neon was smashed. I converted mine to LED's and if you help or advice on doing it let me know.

Here's a photo of mine after converting to 12 V LED's
