Me Likey!

Hi Folks, Was wondering if anyone would be willing to share a wholesale LED poster Box source with me. We are putting a bid together for a local casino and they are asking for pricing on a few LED light box for back lit prints. I suppose if I had my choice a supplier located mid country would work best. Thanks Mike B Big River Sign Co.

Thanks Keith! MB

Hi Folks, Does anyone know of a wholesale source for these changable letter boards. School needs a few more. Thanks Mike B

It felt better to go up through the wires than over and down. Oh well, just another installation. Thanks MB

One side was phone and one side was power. The power to the building was shut off by City. It was actually roomier than it looks. MB

Im sure Paul will chime in on this one. He has both in his fleet. MB

Very Nice! I am conviced that design and presentation will win over price! Thanks MB

Hey Chubby, With direction from Paul. We used 3" channel and one inch tube with a flat tab so the ladder doesn't slide off. We had to keep it lower that 40" so the the boom counter wieght could pass over it on rotation. Cut holes in bed and weded to cross members under neath and bed as well. Hope this helps.

Thanks Folks, Keith it is a Model# EC-L-55 and yes that is the jib winch. I believe Elliott now places that at the end of the jib assembly instead of on the floor of the work basket. It does reduce your floor space but it is really nice to lift and manuver signs while in the basket. It can be operated from the ground controls as well. Paul, thanks you! I will be posting our other modifications and additions to the truck. I feel like we are turning a sow's ear into a silk purse! Have a safe work week every one!! Thanks MB

OK, ok,.... They're not OEM! But we did them by the spec sheet. Hope they come in handy. Have a great weekend Folks!! Mike B Big River Sign Co.

Man sometimes I wish I lived where Paul does!! 10 mile work radius would be freakin awesome!!!! I am refurbishing an older L55 right now and will post some picks when we are ready. It's not going to be near as flashy as Paul's stuff but we are dam proud of where we are today! Thanks guys and have a safe day! MB

For some reason this looks like it would be a good truck for Paul's Sign in New York! Um...... Maybe the red and chrome? http://www.signweb.com/forum/for-sale/just-reduced-2005-freightliner-m2-elliot-l55-with-jib-winch#.VVyFZ1I271E Have a great and safe day every one! Thanks Mike B Big River Sign Co.

How about ABC?

Hey Rocco, What is capacity and max height of crane? I am interested. How is it powered? Could you email more pics to mike@bigriversignco.com. Thank you Mike B Big River Sign Co. Peosta, IA

Thanks Folks!! Mike B

Hi Folks, Does anyone know of a wholesale vendor for the changeable copy sign in the attached pic? Preferably in the midwest. Thank You Mike B Big River Sign Co.

Just a quick follow up, we were informed by our vendor that a single print may result in some "washout" issues. We elected to go with a single print because we had to tighten our belt on this one. Thanks for everyones advise as it is always appreciated. Our vendor has always treated us fairly and delivered what was promised. This was an issue brought about entirely by us. We'll truth be told by me. Thanks Folks Mike B

Thanks Folks, Wife drove by last night while running our oldest to scouts. She said shes not quite sure what the customer is complaining about. She noticed a little "washout" of the lighter yellow and orange of the logo. She said all in all it looks fine. I'm going to swing by and talk to our client today. We had to go with printed faces instead of yellow cooley because he did not want the deeper yellow of the cooley material. In retrospect I should have had my vendor print both sides. We have done the single print for a number of Dick's Sporting Goods cabinets with nice results using day lights lamps. Cool whites produce a more yellow light and washed out the color of the flex face. When we installed daylights the color transmitle was much cleaner. Again, thanks for the input everyone. Mike B

Hi Folks, We refit a full bleed double sided flex face sign yesterday with new faces from M*****c. Cuomer reported that they look great during the day time but very washed out at night. We have used them before and never had a customer complain. Waht lamps does everyone use in printed flex face installations? Cool White or Day Light? Does Daylight illuminuate a printed face better? Thanks Mike B Big River Sign Co

Hi Folks, Was wondering if anyone might be able to identify the extrusions used to make this cabinet. Dimensions are 97" h x 96 1/2" L x 14"Deep. Large poly faces. Faces were drill screwed to retainer to keep them in place. Sign was hit by a van and I either need to replace damaged extrusions or build new cabinet. Any ideas? Thanks all!

Hi Folks, Was wondering if anyone knows who makes the signage for AMC theaters. Was driving with the family on sinday and noticed this problem the local theather is having. We drop cards off but often the manager makes a call and the repair goes to a shop that is on their "List". Well, does anyone know who we contact to get on the "List". Thanks and I hope everyone has a safe and profitable week. Mike B Big River Sign Co. Eastern Iowa.

Hi Folks, Had 72mph wind gust here last week and a half ago. Client had face and retainer failure. Does anyone know where I might be able to find a replacement? The formed face is simple. Do not know where to get the retainer. The face and retainer measure 88" across. Think this may be an old Phillips 66 sign frame. Thanks much. Mike B Big River Sign Co
