  1. Jake, Good to hear from you. I met your grandfather a few times when I was a teenager. Went to high school in Highland in 1970-71. I have searched and been unable to find any information on Jetlite on the Internet, perhaps you can provide a Wikipedia page or something. It seems a shame that an in-ovation like this is not acknowledged on line somewhere. As shown earlier in this thread I found two of these lights, both green, on ebay. They were still in the boxes from a Holiday Inn in Paducah Ky. Thanks for searching this out, Dave
  2. Been there, done that, got the tee shirt..... I would guess. If it is a large construction company, they probably can't stop him, short of providing uniforms..
  3. So sorry to hear. I always enjoyed his comments on topics. Bizarre events surrounding his death it seems. Condolences to his family.

  5. Sorry but I just sold this unit last week. I still have a 2007 18 ton Terex crane for sale if you need one. Dave
  6. Don't hit it too big or the last thing you will be thinking about is staying in the sign business.... ?
  7. Gary, What meeting are you referring to? I don't see anything that fits that description.
  8. Rocco, Please look at a unit I have for sale on the Sign Syndicate classifieds. 2007 Ford F750 (under cdl) with a Manitex SC62 skycrane. Thanks, Dave
  9. Gary, Hahaha... Heck of a deal eh..... It was probably a little over priced at 95,000.00. Had a number of calls but nobody showed me the money. I think at 73,000.00 it's much more enticing. I know there are people out there looking, it's just getting it in front of them. December and April seems to be the best month to sell equipment. End of year planning and a busy looking summer in April for folks.
  10. Bruce, It is still available. I put it back in service shortly after I advertised it because we got very busy. But things are back to normal; and I have bought another nree truck also. I have lowered the price to 73,000.00. It's still in the same shape with maybe an additional 1,000 mi8les on it. Dave 217-254-0029
  11. Eddie, Thanks for the correction! It was Watco where I bought some of their old equipment. Kolux was out of Kokomo, IN. and had the Shell account I believe. As you said, it's been a long time. The old CEO from Kolux went down to Jasper county in Illinois shortly after they went out of business and talked the county into backing him in setting up a production sign company. They were going to make all signs for Pepsi. Needless to say 6 months later I went to their auction and remember buying 150 brand new ballasts for 2.00 ea. as well as a brand new spray booth and a few other items.It is indeed a tough business. Dave
  12. It looks like an extrusion that was used by a company out of Shelbyville, TN. They are long gone now. Kolux I believe or something like that. they made a lot of gas station signs. I still have some equipment of there's that I bought in their closing sale in 1990. Including the form press that could have formed the radius on that retainer you have. I doubt you will ever match that extrusion unless you find an old sign that has it on it. Most of those extrusions were made just for that company and they owned the molds.
  13. How many stupid people does it take to screw in a (l.e.d.)lightbulb? :-)

  16. Wow1 That use to be standard hardware that every supply company carried. I probably have some around still. Send me a pic if you haven't already found one and I'll see if I have them. There are a few different styles.
