EX-99

                                                                    Exhibit 99

                     NOTICE OF REDEMPTION TO THE HOLDERS OF

                             TRANS-LUX CORPORATION

                  7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006
                             (CUSIP NO. 893247AD8)
                               (the "7 1/2% Notes")



    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that in accordance with the provisions of Article
Three of the Indenture, dated as of December 1, 1996 between Trans-Lux
Corporation and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, (the "Trustee"), the
Trustee has called for redemption on June 15, 2006 at the redemption price of
100 percent of the principal amount thereof with interest to the redemption
date, all $12,201,000 face value of said 7 1/2% Notes outstanding.

    On June 15, 2006, the 7 1/2% Notes subject to redemption will become due and
payable and are required to be presented for redemption and payment on or after
said date at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co., 17 Battery Place, New York,
NY 10004, Attn:  Reorganization Department.  Payment of principal and interest
will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the 7 1/2% Notes at the
address noted above.  If U.S. mail is used, registered mail properly insured is
suggested.

    On and after June 15, 2006, unless Trans-Lux Corporation defaults in paying
the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the 7 1/2% Notes called
for redemption.

    The provisions of the Interest and Dividend Tax Compliance Act of 1983, as
amended, require bondholders to submit their Taxpayer Identification Number
(either their social security or employer identification number, as appropriate)
with each 7 1/2% Note presented for payment.  Failure to comply with said Act
will subject the payment of the principal portion of the redemption price to the
withholding of 28% of such principal portion.  To avoid being subject to such
withholding, Noteholders should submit an IRS substitute Form W-9 at the time
the 7 1/2% Notes are presented for payment.

    The 7 1/2% Notes are convertible into Common Stock of Trans-Lux Corporation
at the conversion price of $14.013 per share, which is substantially over the
current market price for the Common Stock.  The right to convert shall terminate
on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 and is exercised by following the instruction in
Paragraph 8 of the 7 1/2% Notes.  No interest is payable on the 7 1/2% Notes
which are converted.

    Enclosed is a Letter of Transmittal for use in surrendering your 7 1/2%
Notes for redemption.  The Letter of Transmittal contains instructions that you
should read and follow carefully.  Please make sure the Letter of Transmittal is
properly completed, signed and dated.  You may submit your certificates
representing the 7 1/2% Notes and your Letter of Transmittal either by mail or
by hand at the addresses set forth in the Letter of Transmittal.  The method of
delivery of certificates is at your option and risk.  If sent by mail, it is
strongly recommended the certificates be sent by registered mail, properly
insured, with return receipt requested.

    If you have any questions regarding the Company's call for redemption of the
7 1/2% Notes or if you need additional copies of the Letter of Transmittal,
please contact the Redemption Agent at the address or phone number found in the
Letter of Transmittal.
