JCPenney cleanup
Naked sign without the panel I cleaned-up. Original tubes still inside, I can't remember what bulbs this used but they're not cheap. The original tubes did light up but not very well, so I bought new ones.
----
JCPenney sign recovered from Northridge Mall, Milwaukee.
Abandoned for 18 years after the store closed in 2000, and merely covered-up with cheap spraypaint (likely because it was infested with wasps). The paint covering the white plastic scraped-away easily with a quarter to reveal the letters. From there I cracked it open (to vacuum out 40+ years of dead wasps and found it just needed a regular 120v cord and some bulbs to light up, again.
