Item 1. Security and Issuer This Amendment No. 36 to Schedule 13D on the Common Stock of Trans-Lux Corporation (the "Issuer") is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D") which was originally filed on May 5, 1992. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D. Item 2. Identity and Background This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mario Gabelli"), Marc J. Gabelli ("Marc Gabelli") and various entities which either one directly or indirectly controls or for which either one acts as chief investment officer. These enti- ties, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker Indus- tries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc.

Certain of these entities may also make investments for their own accounts. The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to time require action which could be viewed as not completely passive. In order to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater investment flexibility and administra- tive uniformity, these persons have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.

For information required by instruction C to Schedule 13D with respect to the executive officers and directors of the foregoing entities and other related persons (collectively, "Covered Persons"), reference is made to Schedule I annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference. (f) - Reference is made to Schedule I hereto. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Item 3 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as follows: All Reporting Persons used an aggregate of approximate- ly $70,406 to purchase the additional Securities reported as beneficially owned in Item 5 below since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D. GAMCO and Gabelli Funds used approximately $46,218 and $24,188, respectively, of funds that were provided through the accounts of certain of their investment advisory clients (and, in the case of some of such accounts at GAMCO, may be through borrowings from client margin accounts)in order to purchase the additional Securities for such clients. Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer Item 5 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as follows: (a) The aggregate number and percentage of Securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is 246,860 shares, repre- senting 22.15% of 1,114,765 shares. This latter number of shares is arrived at by adding the number of shares reported as being outstanding in the Issuer's most recently filed Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 (964,905 shares) to the number of shares which would be receivable by the Reporting Persons if they were to convert all of the Issuer's 7.5% Convertible Notes held by them (149,860 shares) into the common stock of the Issuer. However, at current market prices it would be uneconomic for any person to convert any of such Convertible Notes and substan- tially all such Convertible Notes and not just those held by the Reporting Persons would be converted if it became economic to do so. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons believe that the percent- age of beneficial ownership attributable to them under the rules of the SEC are artificially high and that a more realistic per- centage of their aggregate economic interest, which does not take into account the conversion of such Convertible Notes, would be 10.06%. The Reporting Persons beneficially own the Securities as follows: Shares of % of Shares of % of Common Class of Common Stock, Class Name Stock Common Converted Converted GAMCO 10,000 1.04% 0 0.90% Gabelli Funds 87,000 9.02% 236,860 21.25% Marc Gabelli 0 0.00% 0 0.00% Mario Gabelli 0 0.00% 0 0.00% Mario Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons other than Marc Gabelli. Gabelli Partners and GAMI are deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons other than Mario Gabelli and Marc Gabelli. (b) Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Securities reported for it, either for its own benefit or for the benefit of its investment clients or its partners, as the case may be, except that, (i) Gabelli Funds has sole dispositive and voting power with respect to the shares of the Issuer held by the the Funds, so long as the aggregate voting interest of all joint filers does not exceed 25% of their total voting interest in the Issuer and in that event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each of the Funds shall respectively vote that Fund's shares, (ii) at any time, the Proxy Voting Committee of each such Fund may take and exercise in its sole discretion the entire voting power with respect to the shares held by such Fund under special circumstances such as regulatory considerations, and (iii) the power of Mario Gabelli, Marc Gabelli, GAMI and Gabelli Funds is indirect with respect to Securities beneficially owned directly by other Reporting Persons. (c) Information with respect to all other transactions in the Securities which were effected during the past sixty days or since the most recent Schedule 13D, whichever is less, by each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons is set forth on Schedule II annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference. (e) Not applicable. Signature After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
