I like it too. I'd probably put in a quartz or radio controlled movement and keep the original parts safe. (I don't like it enough for international shipment though.)

Is it clicky?  :wink:.

You guys are welcome to these.  I don't want any clocks like this, IBM or otherwise.  Looking at clocks like these remind me of, for the most part, environments I don't need/want reminding of, :smile:.

Property of Bridgeport.  Maybe someone stole it. lol

I agree it reminds me of my school clock I would watch every day waiting for 3-4pm. lol

Check out that IBM clock. It would look great with some of the newer IBM computers.

That reminds me--I was getting new hydraulic lines for the wood splitter when I noticed the IBM systems in the farm equipment store. And guess what I saw? A 122-key Model M, along with a couple of computers with the same color scheme as that clock.

You should get some shiny rubber dome keyboard and ask if you can trade it for the "ugly old beige keyboard".
