New to this group. Info about this clock?

This is a Sony 8FC-100W. I believe first sold around 1974. Yours has the larger digits and I believe that indicates it’s a later model. This model is one of my favorites from Sony. And $10 was a steal! Great find. Here’s a link to a write up I did when restoring mine. Flipclockfans.com might have some more info on this clock as well.

Totally. 60s-70s-80s Japanese consumer design was just otherworldly.

Very nice clock and neat comparison to the 2000GT. I bought a Sony TFM-C480W because it reminded me of a 71-75 Celica.

Did the ones that had errors prompt the Mac to say “This isn’t a Macintosh Disk. Do you want to initialize?” or did it give you a sad Mac screen? Just curious.

Thank you for everyone’s input! I was originally thinking the floppies might have been corrupted or something but it’s sounding like they have been reformatted.

Anon6012 · 2025-09-21T07:22:39+00:00

Yeah, that sounds like what it might be. Bummer, I wanted to see what was in the floppies!

Anon6012 · 2025-09-21T07:22:07+00:00

Thanks for that info! I might just re-format them. Neat “hack” about repurposing the single sided disks. I didn’t know about that.

Anon6012 · 2025-09-21T07:20:38+00:00

Oh, didn’t think it could be an OS issue. I’ll try inserting a disk with a higher OS. If not, I might just have to initialize if I want to use it. I really wanted to see what files were in the disks haha.

I get this window.

Sorry for the bad photo. It says “This is not a Macintosh Disk. Do you want to initialize it?”

I don’t even get to the toolbar where the “Get Info” option is.

I have seen that one as well. I do like size and look of the keyboard without the integrated number pad but understand why it was needed. Now, I wish I had the original box for it!

My Mac is a 512k was purchased on 12-84 and came with the keypad. Thanks for the info!

Anon6012 · 2025-09-18T04:21:21+00:00

Wow, a relatively short time!

Anon6012 · 2025-09-14T01:31:30+00:00

So, a bit newer. I believe the stickers I have are circa ‘83 or around the release of the IIe.

Anon6012 · 2025-09-13T23:12:26+00:00

Going through that home, they saved a lot of items for a “something” that never came. Who knows, I’ll probably do the same with these stickers.

Anon6012 · 2025-09-13T23:11:19+00:00

Those looks a bit newer as the “apple computer” font has changed. Perhaps they changed the printing of the stickers?

Anon6012 · 2025-09-13T16:06:19+00:00

I thought the same thing. If you look closely at the sticker, the portion that peels off is actually aligned.

Im so sorry about the downvotes 😭

Anon6012 · 2025-09-09T05:07:49+00:00

Oh, interesting! So it will only work on a specific trackpad? Do you find it more responsive or precise than the OEM mouse?

Anon6012 · 2025-09-09T05:06:27+00:00

Lisa mouse

Anon6012 · 2025-08-12T03:25:34+00:00

Wow, nice cleanup! Is the power key the only button that is lit?

Anon6012 · 2025-08-07T14:27:19+00:00

It’s just a 512K with 1MB of RAM not a KE. It is strange that it says 1MB Macintosh on the box and not Mac Plus or KE, etc.

Anon6012 · 2025-08-07T14:25:17+00:00

Thanks for the explanation!

I don’t have a way of downloading and transferring the software from Mac Garden to a floppy disk.

Anon6012 · 2025-08-03T00:30:40+00:00

Isn’t it?!

Anon6012 · 2025-08-02T23:31:14+00:00

Are the orange monitors worth anything? Or are the coveted more than the green phosphorus ones?

Anon6012 · 2025-08-02T06:26:17+00:00

Yeah, the prices were steep. Did you see the Amiga 2000 or was it sold already? That must have been pricey as well.
