How to hang a Victrola sign

Post by Mlund2020 »

While we will never make it as professional sign hangers, we were able to get the Victrola sign hung and lighted today. Hanging a 8ft x 3 ft 150 lb Victrola sign 11 feet up on a wall was a bit of a challenge. I am happy to report that the sign and all 3 sign hangers survived the ordeal. A special thanks to Curt Angstman and my very understanding wife - I would have never gotten it up without their help. It is now securely hanging in it’s new home and lighting my music building.
