This metal sign piece was originally centered in a Fair Play branded scoreboard. I ended up with this for free because it had a broken lens, old decayed wiring, and no frame. To make this into a working hangable art sign, I’ve done the following:

I’ve rewired the light fixtures using outdoor LED round bulbs mounted to a custom metal strip. Originally each light in this sign was controllable, but the controller no longer functioned. Now the lights all turn on and off at the same time as a decorative light fixture. ($11.87 for lights, some left over for myself)
I added in a glass dome tail light lens (amber color) into the missing lens hole. The tail light lens has a slightly higher profile but it is a similar enough dome shape and was way cheaper than other antique lenses on eBay (difference between about $6/lens vs. $30/lens). ($5.57 per lens)
I spliced the too-short LED light cord onto a long lamp cord. ($1 cord from estate sale)
I made a custom wood box frame with scrap wood and painted it gray to match with the gray metal sign color. ($6 paint, $0 scrap wood)
I added a cord notch in the wood frame.
I added picture hanging hooks and wire to the back of the sign so it could be hung on a wall. ($1 for hooks at estate sale, $0 wire I already have)

Total cost to repair this guy was $25.44 and my personal time. I am hoping to sell it in a local auction. This was a fun and nice project to save this little piece of history from the trash. It will also be a great decoration for a baseball or basketball fan’s room!

The wood frame lets the metal sign be hung on the wall while hiding the electronics.
