• (Note: The clock you order will be very similar to the sample pictured but not exact. No two clocks are the same when using recycled, vintage computer components.)

• This clock's disk platter is from a disk pack used in the early 1960s on IBM 2311 Disk Drives.

• The disk platter's original surface has been beautifully transformed into an awesome patina earned from some 5 years of use and 45 years of storage!

• Mounted in the center of the clock is a plexi-glass contained comparison of this vintage platter's storage capability versus today's platter.  The statistics are rather astonishing!  See the comparison below:

 This rare, vintage"disk platter" from the 1960s was grouped into a "disk pack" that usually contained 6, 14 inch platters. This platter could hold about 1.5  megabytes. In 2009, a single platter could hold about 500,000 megabytes and was physically, 4 times smaller !

• This is a wall clock that is 14" in diameter with 1/8" raised golden clock numbers mounted on circuit board sections for an awesome contrast.
  

• Artist signed and numbered "Certificate of Authenticity."

• Get one for the serious collector as these platters are very scarce.
