Backtothearcade Neon Signs... bad transformer, need help
Endprodukt:
The transformer is potted... no chance for a repair job. :(
We don't have ANY neon-sign shop in my hometown in germany, next one seems to be 120km far away... bummer :(
I will try to contact Malice95, thanks for the help guys!

What? No roads in Germany? 120km is nothing. Get to driving.

maybe give the shop a call see what they can suggest.
they may ask about the sign (tube diameter and approximately how long it is and what kind of gas (color)) and ask if they have a small transformer that would work for a decent price. it may be worth the drive. 120km is an hours drive...Heck in germany, what with the autobahn, 5 minutes. :lol
if not, ask what specifications of a replacement transformer they suggest and maybe order one off ebay.

Well I think you guys are used to different gasoline prices. ;) Besides that I have a heavily pregnant wife that I'd rather don't let a lone for a neon lamp :D
I called the shop and they didn't seem to be very helpful actually. They're more into the big signs on Hamburg Reeperbahn that cost a lot more than my small lamp ;)

Go to the store that sells cheap junk for college kids, buy some neon sign that's about the same size, steal the transformer.
