I just picked up an awesome sign

Rootbeer

When you whiz by the first four pix, it looks like a giant, delicious bottle of Maytag Automatic Rootbeer. Very thirsty now!

Pas de photo pour moi non plus!

Sorry! I think in French most of the time... Can't see the picture on my Windoze 7 PC...

Guys, here's a direct link to the photo. For some reason the height and width fields in the source code are blank (which will result in no photo being displayed in some browsers).

Yeah, no pix here. Using XP. And the whole thread is really kind of jumpy when I scroll down--as if it was loaded with pix.

Thanks for the link Jeff.

Todd - this is an awesome sign! I've seen ads in Maytag News for this sign and other from around 1952 - 1954; never seen one in person.

Thanks, Jeff.
Ralph, my browser is jumpy on this thread as well.

Ben, thanks for the approximate years. I was wondering.

The sign lights up nicely. The original flourescent bulb & socket have been replaced by a small ropelight-type light. The original setup was included with the sign, though. This is the first one like this I've seen.

Win2K, Firefox 3.5.8. All pics are showing.
Win2K, IE 6.0.2800.1106. No pics.

WinXP, Firefox 3.6. All pics are showing.
WinXP, IE 8.0.6001.18702. No pics.

IE is the problem.

Also, another thread in which I posted a picture an hour ago, it doesn't show in IE.

I was able to view the sign using Jeff's work around using the direct link. Thanks Jeff! Cool sign. Still unable to view the sign on this site. I have Windows Vista and use AOL.

I'm having the same problem:

When I'm scrolling down on all of the Postings, my Pages are Wavy. I did get to view the Sign through the Web-Address given by JeffG, by right clicking onto the Address, then selecting Create Shortcut, then going up to my Browser Window, putting the Curser in the Window and clicking on Control & V, then clicking on the I-Con Web Search. The Pix of the great looking Maytag Sign opened right away. Good luck to everyone who hasn't been able to view the Pix, maybe you can try what was suggested to me, as to how to get around items not opening.

Peace and Kind Regards, Steve

The pictures of the sign will have to be re-posted now for all to see.

 

[seamusuk]

Maybe this will sort it??

but it was worth the wait! Runematic, I was lookin for a St. Pauli girl nearby, though. (smirk)
