Welcome to the 26th short from Flip Clock Fans in our ongoing effort to catalog all the flip clocks in the Flip Clock Fans Collection. You're looking at the Copal Model 801

The Copal 801 flip clock played a role in a film classic from the 1980s.

Back to the Future - a 1985 science fiction film starring Michael J. Fox, and Christopher Lloyd.

Very likely, you've heard of the "Back to the Future Flip Clock" - The clock that appeared on the shelf on the headboard of Marty McFly's bed - The Panasonic RC-6015.

But did you know that this was not the first flip clock to appear in the movie?

The opening scene of the first movie in the "Back to the Future" Trilogy shows a vast array of clocks at the home of Doc Brown.

And there it is. The first flip clock to appear in "Back to the Future" - the Copal 801.

We have a much more detailed long-version video on this clock, and hope you'll consider checking it out.

The Copal 801 is very hard to find online but is worth the time and effort to acquire.

The flip tiles are probably the largest in the Copal Line up – very impressive.

The 801 is a huge flip clock that can be set up on its stand or displayed on the wall.

The Copal 801 flip clock - the first "Back to the Future" flip clock and a prized part of the Flip Clock Fans Collection for a very good reason.
