            TRANS-LUX ANNOUNCES UPWARD ADJUSTMENT IN NOTES ISSUED IN
         EXCHANGE OFFER FOR 7 1/2% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2006

NORWALK, CT, May 4, 2004 - Trans-Lux Corporation (AMEX:TLX), a leading
supplier of programmable electronic information displays and owner/operator of
cinemas, today announced that its Exchange Offer, pursuant to which Trans-Lux
Corporation offered to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") $1,000 principal amount
of its new 8 1/4% Limited Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 ("New
Notes") for each $1,000 principal amount of its 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated
Notes due 2006 ("Old Notes") and expired on April 14, 2004, was even more
successful than reported on April 15, 2004, as it actually received $17,868,000
principal amount of Old Notes, for which it has issued a like number of New
Notes.  The adjustment was due to a miscommunication with the Depository Trust
Company, in which the Old Notes withdrawn in the amount of $1,158,000 had been
counted twice.
