  6. Billboard Tensioning Systems??

    If they are jut sandwiched between 12" I beams as it appears in the pics you just need to go up in the bucket and reach your arms into the top attachments for ther straps. And the same thing for the rest of the perimeter but yea if they refuse to put a backing on there do not give any...
  7. Billboard Tensioning Systems??

    Let them know they need to add a backing of some sort, corogated metal or plywood. Also you can put some angles on the backsides for more attachments. You can at least do the one side of the backing on the ground and maybe have the crane operator flip it over and do te other side before they set...

  9. Irritating electrical sign....any thoughts

    I was thinking about going from a 6 down I have never run into issue replacing a like for like size mag ballast that isn't ancient, almost all manufacturers I know of have an industry standard wire color schematic. Some ancient ones have been diff colors, but like you and other have repeated...
  10. CDL Truck or not?

    You are absolutely correct. Flatbed with under deck storage is the best. the only time you get one is if you have the truck built new or stumble on someone else's sign truck. If you are planning on pulling trailers and doing bigger jobs you really need a heavier duty truck

  14. Irritating electrical sign....any thoughts

    I was just making the point that the replacement with a different brand doesnt matter, you just wired it wrong. And every magnetic ballast I have ever used has universal wiring colors for the most part. It was likely manufactured with a 396 and you probably only had a 496 on the truck and...
  15. Irritating electrical sign....any thoughts

    Brand has nothing to do with anything. Did you size the ballast wrong or wire something wrong?
  16. BIG banner well for me

    First off dont use a staple gun to install anything into drywall. Even if it is a steel building and there are drywalled walls they used studs. if it is commerical most likely steel studs. Use toggles, wall dogs, caps and screws or tek screws into studs ect. Not a big deal.

    get a better angled shot of the sign. you cant even read it. one piece center hinge for sure

  19. Irritating electrical sign....any thoughts

    why couldnt you test the sign before you left the second time? have you tested the primary voltage and the secondary even after replacing the second ballast? what about the voltage at the sockets? do you have a tube tester to make sure you still dont have a bad lamp in there? its not uncommon I...
