Fixed this one today. I do enjoy the warmer weather, and they were kind enough to let us eat have lunch and a drink inside when our work truck wouldn't start.
To keep the transformers out of the water, I bent this metal shield. I also put transformers on the R and the B- os they have their own transformers instead of sharing one- a little more robust. I did leave the other letters alone (except for the A and R on the more paint chipped side, I remade those). The electrodes on the "A" cant be any further apart. I really should note that on my pattern. When your working with a tracing of a tracing, its tricky. I gotta digitize these patterns.

We actually have 2, 60ma transformers powering the 4/6 letters. I put in two, 30ma transformers. The lower current is less bright, but human eyes are really bad at seeing brightness. I bet you cannot tell which R and B are dimmer than the others ;)

Black and white metal bent and riveted with wood block and black and white plastic transformers mounted to it. Ceramic bushings come through with the high voltage wires. An orange WAGO connector connects primary wires.
Glass Housings with Electrodes off center. Black paint chipped on the surface of the sign with clear tube "A" wired in place
BAR neon painted to say "EAR" with ladder underneath and tree above all
Other side of EAR Bar with "est" 1817 AD underneath

Manhattan's congestion pricing proves to be a "predictable success" - only took 50 years for politicians to test economists' theory! 📊 Results: 10% less traffic, 70% fewer noise complaints, and buses so efficient drivers must wait to stay on schedule. Who knew charging for city access would work?

"#NewYorkCity Comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander was #arrested by federal agents at an #immigration court after he linked arms with a person authorities were attempting to detain.

Lander, as city comptroller, is the highest-ranking #Jewish elected official in the city.

A reporter with The Associated Press and other journalists witnessed Lander’s arrest at a federal building in #Manhattan, the latest confrontation between US agents and a Democratic politician objecting to the Trump administration’s mass detention and #deportation programs."

"Over the decades, #Jewish and #queer culture have intersected in a variety of interesting and significant ways, from a Jewish #anarchist who established one of the country’s first #lesbian bars in the #GreenwichVillage in 1925 to a former bathhouse popular with the #gay community that was run, for a time, by the famous Jewish songwriting brothers Ira and George Gershwin.

In honor of #Pride Month, we’ve rounded up eight #Manhattan sites of significance to the Jewish and queer communities, and the intersection between the two. Keep scrolling to learn more."

On Tues, the 5h day of unrest over the #immigration #raids, #protests that began in #LosAngeles grew in size & intensity across the country. Some demonstrators in downtown #Chicago threw water bottles at #police officers & vandalized at least 2 vehicles. In #NewYork, officers made dozens of #arrests near federal buildings in Lower #Manhattan, the police said. In #Atlanta, they used #ChemicalAgents & physical force [#PoliceBrutality] to drive A FEW DOZEN #protesters from their highway foothold.

Why Is #NASA Shuttering This Iconic Institute in #NewYorkCity?
Since 1966 NASA’s #Goddard Institute for #Space Studies (#GISS) has been at the forefront of Earth and planetary science from its location in upper #Manhattan. Now a Trump is ejecting its scientists to parts unknown
GISS itself has not been disbanded. But without a physical home and under threat of a #WhiteHouse–proposed 50% cut to the entirety of NASA’s science its mission is uncertain

Less Honking, Faster Trips, Fewer Injuries: Is There Anything #NYC's Congestion Relief Pricing Can't Do?
In 100 days, 6 million fewer cars drove into lower #Manhattan than had done so a year earlier. In March, the decrease was 80,000 per day. In the congestion zone, we're seeing half as many traffic-related injuries. The bus routes in Manhattan are so much less clogged that the drivers are being forced to slow down to maintain their schedules
