In addition, inside the clock, under the clock mechanism, the mold serial numbers are the same. Strangely, they actually look sort of like fingerprints. To illustrate, returning to the speaker base indentation on the bottom of the clocks, and paying particular attention to the bottom of this circular indentation or, well, the tooling marks (swirls) are identical. These mold impressions are like finger prints, clearly identifying the mold used in production. This cannot be disputed because not only does the model number read "RC-6010" on the bottom, the mold impressions on the white RC-6010 are identical to the brown based, simulated wood cabinet clock with the model number RC-6010. The importance of the distinction between the two variants of the RC-6010 concerns a glaring manufacture error made when producing some of the RC-6015 clocks, what we are calling here the "RC-6015/6010 Error Clock." When producing these simulated wood clocks, the brown base was erroneously made using the RC-6010 mold of the similar configuration. The remainder of this discussion concerns the first type of RC-6010 which has the same speaker style (that is, the bases are identical except for the color). If you have an RC-6015 and this particular version of the RC-6010 side by side, the difference in the depth of this impression is clearly evident. A circular depression on the bottom is deeper on this clock variant. Without taking the clock apart, this is evident on the underside of the base. To accommodate this, the clock's plastic base internally has a higher post where the speaker rests. However, a variant of the RC-6010 exists which holds a speaker inside with a different shaped base. In fact, the internals of these clocks can be swapped without difficulty. This clock has a base that besides being white and having the model number RC-6010 molded into the bottom, has the same shape as that of the RC-6015. The first essentially is identical to the RC-6015 except, of course, for the color. Besides the color, this flip clock is nearly identical to the simulated wood cabinet model RC-6015. The white cabinet version of this clock is the model RC-6010. To explain, it's important to be aware of other variants of this particular clock radio. Could it be possible that this is not completely true? In buying and selling this particular flip clock a few interesting facts have come to light. Without fail, collectors assert that the model number of this clock is the RC-6015. In the movie classic, Back To The Future, Marty McFly wakes to the alarm of a simulated wood cabinet, Panasonic Digital FM-AM Clock Radio (a type of vintage clock, now typically referred to as a "flip clock"). What Flip Clock appeared in the movie, Back To The Future? - The answer may be more complicated than once thought.ĭiscussion of the "RC-6015/6010 Error Clock."
