Even a high priced neon sign shop would not be higher then what the sign is worth in the sign market .Most signs like these are not bought by the average collecter,but , most of the time I happen to be at the right place at the right time..But it dose take 2 people who want something to make it go sky high

There used to be a dealer in Elsberry MO that had one like that, except it was double sided. A sign guy restored it for free to get advertisement for his business. I heard it later brought $5000 at auction. I had one tube replaced on a small Lawn-Boy sign. That was $150. I would guess the estimates of $1200-$1500 would be about right for the tubes. I have no idea what the transformer goes for.

Glenn, He ran back "to get us a table" and being the gentleman that I am, I bought Linda lunch & she shared with Fred. He called yesterday to return the favor and offered to buy me lunch at Red Lobster, of course I was clear across the other side of the county. How does he know that?? You think he has a tracker on my phone? When I am close by its hot dogs every time...Harvey
