----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trans-Lux Corporation ("Trans-Lux") hereby amends Schedule TO and Schedule
13E-3 previously filed with respect to the offer by Trans-Lux, a Delaware
corporation, to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") up to $15,000,000 principal
amount of Trans-Lux 8 1/4% Limited Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due
2012 (the "New Notes") for currently outstanding $15,000,000 principal amount of
Trans-Lux 7 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Old Notes"), at
the exchange rate of $1,000 principal amount of New Notes for each $1,000
principal amount of Old Notes tendered. Subject to the terms and conditions of
the Exchange Offer, Trans-Lux will issue up to $15,000,000 principal amount of
New Notes in exchange for up to $15,000,000 principal amount of the Old Notes to
the extent such Old Notes are properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the
expiration of the Exchange Offer. Trans-Lux reserves the right to extend or
terminate the Exchange Offer, if the conditions set forth in the section of the
Offering Circular (as defined below) entitled "The Exchange Offer-Conditions of
the Exchange Offer" are not satisfied, and to otherwise amend the Exchange Offer
in any respect. The Exchange Offer is open to all holders of Old Notes, and is
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Circular, dated
February 23, 2004, (the "Offering Circular") and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") (which, as either may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, together constitute the "Disclosure Documents").
Subject to applicable securities laws and the terms set forth in the Offering
Circular, Trans-Lux reserves the right to waive any and all conditions to the
Exchange Offer. The Offering Circular and the Letter of Transmittal were
attached to Schedules TO and 13E-3 as originally filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and
(a)(1)(B), respectively. This amendment to joint Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3
is intended to satisfy the requirements of Rules 13E-3 and 13e-4 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Trans-Lux has extended the period of time for which the Exchange Offer is
open to 5:00 P.M. New York City time on April 14, 2004. The Exchange Offer was
originally scheduled to expire on March 31, 2004 at 5:00 P.M. New York City
time.
All information in the Disclosure Documents, including all schedules and
annexes, is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in answer to all items in
this Schedule TO, except as otherwise set forth below. This Schedule TO is
combined with Schedule 13E-3 since the transaction might be deemed a "going
private" transaction. Where items under Schedule 13E-3 are not part of Schedule
TO, they are listed at the end of this Schedule. Where the same item is covered
by both schedules, the Schedule 13E-3 reference is below the Schedule TO
reference. Items 1-6 are numbered the same in both schedules.
This amendment amends Items 1, 4, and 6 of Schedule TO and Items 1, 4 and 6
of Schedule 13E- 3. The text of a press release dated March 31, 2004 by
Trans-Lux announcing the extension of the Exchange Offer is filed as Exhibit
(a)(5)(C) herewith and is incorporated by reference.
ITEM 12. EXHIBITS.

After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that
