It is devastating to hear that the future of such an icon could be in jeopardy. What are we thinking to let landmarks die all around Melbourne? Our retained history is one of the things people love about our city. Dimmys in Richmond, the skipping girl and the Nylex sign are some of the historic sites which link generations of Melbournians. ... and anyway, what will Paul Kelly do with his song line stating, "The clock on the silo says 11 degrees"?

I have grown up with this clock....always marvelled at it and as I grow older, rely on it's temperature and time as I pass each night on my way home. SWITCH IT ON! Surely there is enough State revenue to foot the bill. It’s an essential service to Melburnians.

The <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/02/12/2489678.htm" rel="nofollow">company collapsed in February 2009</a> and is currently in receivership. A source at the company informed me today that the <a href="http://www.adonline.id.au/neon/nylex.php" rel="nofollow">Nylex Clock</a> was switched off as a result of the collapse, and is not likely to be switched on again until the company is sold. There's more info about the sign at <i><a href="http://www.adonline.id.au/neon/nylex.php" rel="nofollow">Melbourne Neon</a></i>. I have contacted Nylex Limited.

I have lived in Sth Yarra for many years and the Nylex Sign shapes my day when I get up at 4am (shift worker relying on outside tempertature and time I have to get to work). I returned from a vacation in February 2009 and to this day the lights are off and there's still no one home! I miss the lights, the landmark in all it's glory. Please restore my faith in the Nylex Sign;more importantly restore its globes ! Keep me posted, Stephen of Sth Yarra My apartment faces the Yarra River.
