WIN A TEE SHIRT IF YOUR BOARD IS OLDER!

Long after this elder statesman should have retired, he’s still working. This 18-year-old Message Board was from the early years of Solar Technology, one of only four message boards made using 4 LED pixels. It’s not pretty – it’s a bit worn, the trailer design has been discontinued, and the color on the fenders has faded… but it’s still working!

This board was sold to Traffic Services Sales and Rentals of Allentown, PA on June 5, 1998, and was recently spotted directing traffic near our offices. “As far as repairs go,” says Stephen Hysick from Traffic Services, “except for some rusting in the battery compartment (metal battery boxes were replaced in 2000), it’s only been minor stuff over the years.”

Could this be the oldest SolarTech Message Board in the field?

Since we’re celebrating our 25^th Anniversary this year, we’re looking back to see how we’ve grown. If you have an older message board, send us a photo, the board’s serial number and the details (deadline is 10/1/2016). Winner gets a SolarTech tee shirt!

We love to see that our durable and dependable boards are still on the job!
