Ah, another closet flip-dot collector. I have a speed radar "MPH" sign that works with my speed gun and quite a few bus signs. I managed to get in there when AVS, the electric bus company in Chattanooga, TN went bankrupt and got a few. Someone had removed all the driver boxes though. I see a clock in the future, though only an HH:MM one. I could imagine bouncing off the walls, stark raving mad after listening to those things flip once a second for a few days :-) I almost got a freeway overhead one. Alas, the junk dealer said take the whole sign (requiring a flatbed truck and cherry picker) or nothing. He wouldn't let me strip out the display boards. *sob* > > Came by this site.

Either that or the new Firefox they just pushed out is really hosed.
