Chris, way cool. Correction though, you mention it having a "fixed neon tube" but I believe you should have said "fluorescent tube"?
Kinda reminds me of the rotating color wheels that people would place in front of their white artificial Christmas trees.
I saw a "Patent Pending" sticker on it. Too bad it doesn't show a patent no., you could track some history with the patent no. Not sure you could find the patent application just by a description of the device.
Is there a name of a company anywhere on it? Just judging by the font used, I'm guessing most likely late '60s or early '70s. The font and the "psychedelic" colors suggests that to me. Early Tempest lettering was script style, any signage would probably have duplicated the script.
