left Coff's on friday night 12 oclock travelled down to Newcastle, arrive 5am to drop off  aluminium pinball trolley I made for Rackaball (thanks for fixing my dukebox and Meteor),then continued on to Sydney to pick up the trailer and sign ,it was in a weather damaged condition,worse than the pic's on ebay(he must have put on photo's when new.It is made of wood and had fallen apart in areas ,specially the bottom,then the seller said the people who stored the neon&trailer have tested it 6months ago and it did not work.I'm thinking (not another shit ebay deal) !!! !!!.Trust me in the day light it looks shit ,a sign that does not work and paint peeling off it every where,wood work rotting/swelling and falling apart,but the tandem trailer it was on was only made in the 6th month 2008 and my mate I bought down with me was happy to buy that off me(thanks mackdog).Well we towed it back to Coff's ,  tired as all shit , arrived back at 7.30 pm saturday ,looked at sign and no glass was broken(rough trip back for a glass neon sign) so what the heck ,lets plug it in and see what happens , maybe some of it works??? and we could not believe  our luck , the thing works , not just some of it , the whole bloody lot #*# $#$
