I'm not sure what the limit is, but videos can get really huge. What file format did you try to upload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtA Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Mike, Convert your video to MP4 and it should work. You can use an online converter like this one: https://video-converter.com Edited February 29 by CurtA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodPickett Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 The FORUM will support MOV files as well as MP4; however, MP4 format is preferred and will most likely be smaller. Very large file can be uploaded by Administrators or Moderators. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlund Posted March 1 Author Share Posted March 1 (edited) I have reposted the video of the finished restoration of the Victor sign. It is in MP4 format and file is 32MB size. When I originally posted it, only the audio played but no video.

phonogfp Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Too often, the restoration of an object goes too far. That's not the case here, and the sign retains its originality while its defects are not distracting. GREAT!

RodPickett Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Agree with all comments. George was "spot-on". A perfect restoration would detract from the appeal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlund Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Crated and ready to ship. 150" x 20" x 41" 400lb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran604g Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 How much does this weigh, Mike? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Details, please, on that clock hanging there. It looks like a Telechron dial, but the hands are definitely not Telechron! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtA Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Fran, Mike told me it weighs approx. 400lbs crated, maybe half of that uncrated. Henry, the clock is in the restoration shop in Moorhead, MN, so you need to ask Chris Orth at: https://firelineneon.com/about-us/ Mike, it looks like Chris did a good job on the crating, but at 400lbs. it's going to be a b!#ch unloading it into your music building...

Mlund Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 (edited) The sign arrived today. Delivered and uncrated. Now just thinking through how 2 old guys are going to get it hung up on the wall. Thanks to Curt for his help. Edited April 21 by Mlund 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtA Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The only small problem is figuring how to get it mounted on the corner of this wall, while trying to prevent it from tipping over before its secured... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlund Posted Sunday at 11:59 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 11:59 PM (edited) Victor sign hanging #2 successful!! Prep work: Cut, paint and mount wall brackets. Step 1. Lift sign upright onto furniture dolly bolted to the base. Step 2. Roll sign into position. Step 3. Tighten guide ropes attached to the top of the attached wood framing and to the upper wall bracket eye bolt to keep sign from tipping over. Step 4. Roll low profile jack under the floor dolly to lift the sign into position Step 5. Jack the sign up to proper height and position to attach bolts to previously placed wall brackets. First upper bracket bolt Then lower bracket bolt. Step 6. Unbolt and remove the remaining crating from the sign. Step 7. Lower Jack to remove crating Step 8. Last bit of crating removed from sign. Step 8. Plug it in Step 8. Sign hangers pose for posterity A special thanks to Bill Beam, Bob Barnes and Curt Angstman. I couldn’t have done it without their help. You guys rock!!!
