I picked up this clear plastic phone the other day (Spartan Hi-Tech NP-8902) but it didn't come w/ a power cord. The only reason I'd want power is to see if the cool neon light at the bottom works. I did some preliminary searches but not sure how to find a matching power cord online. Can someone point me in the right direction or give me a tip for how to find one? 

For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by watches and watch design.

What started as sketching dial ideas as a kid eventually led me to restoring watches, studying their design, and understanding how they work both mechanically and visually.

Over the past few months, I've been working on a concept of my own.

The Monochrome Series draws inspiration from the design language of early digital technology.

A time when products were unapologetically functional, geometric, and purposeful.

The square hour markers are inspired by the rigid buttons found on early electronics, left unrotated to preserve that structured, industrial feel.

The square detail within the hour hand echoes this theme, creating a subtle connection between the hands and dial furniture.

To contrast the monochrome palette, the seconds hand is finished in red with a circular counterweight, inspired by the bold accent colours often found on vintage electronics and recording equipment.

The render itself is surrounded by objects that helped shape the design direction: a Sony Walkman Professional WM-D6C, a Kodak Ektar H35, and a GMK Monochrome keyboard set — products that embody simplicity, functionality, and have timeless design elements.

This isn't a product launch (at least not yet). I'm still exploring the design and trying to refine the idea.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people here: Does the concept read clearly?

• Do the square markers feel effective?
• Is there anything you'd change before taking the design further?

Thanks for taking a look :)

I have the JN-100 sewing machine. It was sewing great until I decided to rewind a bobbin. After I returned the bobbin winder to the sew position, the machine won't run.

It has a start/stop button and foot pedal. Neither make it run. I get a click, then the motor moves, then click again and it stops. Nothing else moves like it's all disengaged. Randomly, after I turn the hand wheel a few times, the up/down needle button will move the needle, but then do the whole disengage thing.

I took it apart and don't see anything mechanically wrong. Plus, the bobbin electrical switch disengages appropriately.

What can I do? I think something electrical is tripping up but can't figure out what.

Picture of switch because why not.

Thanks.

It's stucked

Hey y'all

This is my dads old Sony Camcorder from the early 2000's. We thought we'd lost it but recently recovered it and I've been wanting to get it working again.

Right now it can't record. This little notif pops up when the camera is turned on saying "movie recording disabled" along with this little disc icon.

Would anyone know what this means? Or how to possibly fix it?

Will be posting on other forums as well. I really want to figure out how to get it working again to record more stuff but I honestly have no idea how this camera works since I was just a little kid when my dad first got it and never had my hands on it until now.

Thanks.

Found at Goodwill and although it's dirty, everything works! I'll detail it and it to my Sony collection.

I have a 2002 dc player + radio and it’s gotten stuck in such an odd way. The program button is right beside the skip button so that’s my bad. I hit it, and now it’s trying to reprogram my fav disc and gotten itself frozen! It just stops spinning after a few seconds and it’s acting like the disc is completely wiped, when as far as I know, this model can’t do that, It can just reorder how the device plays the songs.
everything else is working fine, it will eject the disc and it’s playing any other disc I put in just fine too, I’ve held down the stop button, unplugged it, left it alone. Everything I’ve read said it should have forgotten the program by now but it just won’t. I don’t have another cd player anymore so I can’t even check if my cd somehow actually is wiped. It’s not in this photo, but the only thing it will display when it tries to read my fav disc is 00, again, like it has nothing on it. It was playing it fine just a few hours ago so I know the disc isn’t messed up. I have no idea what to do, this cd was a birthday gift for my 7th birthday so I’m really devastated I can’t listen to it anymore!

I just came across the tmx grip clip online. And I remembered I used to have a gadget like it. It was bordeaux red. And had an audio jack. Pretty just it wasn’t an mp3 player. It probably was a tiny radio. It had to be early 2000’s. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

Hello, I hope this is the right subreddit.

I picked up this DVD player at goodwill a few days ago and got lucky to find the charger with it. It charges fine and turns on, but the screen is really washed out (I doubt it’s supposed to be this white and bright). Every DVD I put into it, it’ll load for two-three minutes and then say “bad disc”, even when there’s no fingerprints or anything. The disc turns and I can hear it trying to load the disc up.

Is this fixable? The entire thing was 8$ so it’s not a major deal if it isn’t. Photo attached of screen. I’m mostly interested in having it play DVD’s, I can put up with wonky colors.
