This layman thinks that the neon tubes on these old school signs would be similar to a 1952 refrigerator's ability to not lose it's "freon". If not messed with, they function a long, long time.
I bought an inoperative neon light Genesee Beer sign having the same set up as your Busch sign 20 years ago from a drive through owner. Gave her $20 and I had to get my fast talking on to get it. I had been eyeballing it for several years up there in the over-the-cooler area just looking skunky and lonely.
Took it home, got shocked a couple of times before I found the electrical problem. Has worked flawlessly since. It'a pretty cool.
Here's a pic from the below website. I'm not at shop so cant get a pic. Site is selling for $478 but I'm guessing it's a boutique type place? No idea of real value.
