My Antique Mac has developed a fibrillated clock. It jumps to random other
era's, or dies completely February 6, 1940 at 6:28:15 AM.

I took the CPU board out, and ran the computer while watching and waiting
for this to reoccur.

The chip stops dead... This could be the $0.39 crystal, but I
suspect it's probably the clock chip itself.

The problem is I can't identify it, let alone find a source for it.

It's a little 8 pin with the numbers 8504 on it, but that looks suspiciously
like a date code to me.

Does anyone know what this chip is, and hopefully, where I could get one?

Thanks,

	jim
