Just thought I'd start a fun thread about what clocks are on our nightstands or desks that we rely on daily to wake up. My TFM-C650W is currently my alarm clock as it has a nice snooze bar and a really good sounding radio. Please share!

Just my boring little Copal Caslon 701.

I was thinking about something similar recently, since I moved to a new house, I do not have bed stand yet, so for now it's my phone laying on the floor, waking me. Have not made up my mind yet for when I do get a night stand.
Copal model 703 is one of my favorite Copals, but I do have an abundance of the model 707 at the moment which is also cool, however, this is a dastardly engineered alarmclock for the switch to turn the alarm off is at the bottom
it's hard to operate as well, the switch, that is. Surely this was some Japanese dude who was leaving the company anyway and figured he might have a laugh? It adds to the sleek design of the clock, but practical?

Nothing boring about it, basically a 703 with a different look.Originally posted by Mackey View PostJust my boring little Copal Caslon 701.

Yea, I have a soft spot for the simple Copals. Especially the Caslons. I like this one because as cyb3rbyte indicated (and as you know), there are 12 of the number that are of different colors. It's cool because you can choose for them to be AM or PM.Originally posted by flipclock_nl View Post~ Mackey Site Administrator

Due to my current living situation, the Asanuma Copal is camped out on my little work bench. It keeps good time.
Once I have a proper house (hopefully soon!) I'll have plenty to choose from for all over the place.

I like your collection there. Very eclectic. But that Asanuma Copal .... it's creeping me out. It's like it's watching me ... always watching .... always.
But seriously. I do like that. It's not a big as I thought.
And that Computer!! Awesome.~ Mackey Site Administrator

Thanks! It's composed of whatever I found locally, and a few good deals on eBay- pretty much everything was an impulse buy at some point. About half of them still need work to get them back to really good working order, and I'm looking forward to doing that this summer if all goes to plan. As for the Asanuma, it's a deceptive little thing- it genuinely does look like it's pretty durably made, when in fact it's made entirely of plastic and has almost no weight to it at all. I'm sure the photography shops and camera dealers that had these back in the day were thrilled with them though.Originally posted by Mackey View Post
I'm working on the C64 right now to troubleshoot this joystick somebody threw away. I think it's got a broken wire in the cord, as only "some" of the pins are registering, but I'm willing to try most everything else first before I have to go about replacing a whole cord. I'm confident it can be fixed though, it rather goes without saying, retro tech holds up pretty good!Comment

As said, I do not currently have a night stand, however, I did find my bedside companion last week. I recently purchased a yellow (my favorite colour) Copal model 707. I have had several reds before and also a white one, but not a yellow one. Once I got it in and gave it a bit of a polish, its fate was sealed
. This one is not going anywhere but by my bedside as soon as I have a stand for it. It will need the usual restoration but everything seems to be working.
On my desk, currently is an orange Copal model T7, the 2nd I have in my posession ever and the first complete one and in orange. It is for sale, but I will have a hard time letting this one go for it is v-e-r-y cool!Comment

I LOVE that T7. If it needs a home, let me know. I’ll have to find the listing for it.Originally posted by flipclock_nl View PostComment
