I've owned a couple of Marvy Poles, a 55 and 77 and they were fun to have . My 55 needed a lot work, the motor, glass, insert were terrible and metal castings were really black with oxidation . The great thing about Marvy is that they produce all the parts necessary to maintain or refurbish vintage barber poles. It was fun to play around with the simple old style motor with a few parts Marvy sells and actually make it work. I called Marvy and spoke to the technician in the video, great guy, he gave me good advice on getting the metal professionally polished or he offered the option of just sending them to him for polishing . Also , all Marvy poles have a serial number. You can email this to the company and they will send you a nice embossed letter informing you of the date of production, previous owner and updating there record to list you as the current owner. If any member ever comes across a Marvy barber pole, no matter how awful or broken it looks it can be easily saved and made to work and shine, it should be adopted immediately.
