Hey guys! I’ve been pretty busy this week, so I didn’t get a chance to tell you guys about my recent find until this evening. ;D Anyway, I was at my grandparents' house last weekend, and my grandpa gave me an awesome exit sign that my uncle apparently picked up at a garage sale. I was told that the seller had like 20 of them! ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Anyway, my grandpa passed it on to me, and I just put it together this evening. Also, it’s mint! It was still in the original packaging, complete with the instructions, mounting hardware, and light bulbs. It’s a Prescolite, just like my other two exit signs. ;D The cool thing about this one is that it’s green. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) I always thought green ones were neat. Exit sign is dated 1993, so it technically classifies as vintage. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Here are the pics: ![](http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac297/rickster-23/PrescoliteExitSignC7BaseIncandescent001.jpg) ![](http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac297/rickster-23/PrescoliteExitSignC7BaseIncandescent002.jpg) ![](http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac297/rickster-23/PrescoliteExitSignC7BaseIncandescent003.jpg) Wiring: ![](http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac297/rickster-23/PrescoliteExitSignC7BaseIncandescent004.jpg) Here’s the inside.

I’ll get a video soon.

Really cool, I love the green. There were/are some cool exit signs at my Habitat that I wanted to pick up, but they're always more expensive than I'd like and they haven't been anything great.

I seem to get exit signs from random places; I've never seen any at a Habitat. What kinds did your Habitat have? Just cheap newer ones?

We get all sorts of emergency fixtures at Habitat, it's ridiculous. You could fit out a whole small business with emergency/power outage lights, exit signs, fire alarm system, etc. with items from Habitat. There's a lot of newer stuff mostly, but older stuff shows up occasionally, like I found an older one still NIB awhile back that was really cool, but it was like $20 and I could buy another fan with that money. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

Alright, a green one! Hmmm...most Exit signs I've seen are always red...newer ones are LED.
