Default Added a Morse to the fleet

The local GW store had a Morse Duomatic TZ.50 #18103 that I could not resist. I have never worked on a Morse and it looks like it will be a real challenge. It is missing the cams and I have no idea what they look like. The machine in its case weighs 43 ½ pounds and will not become a travel machine.

Very Pretty Ken. I just love the looks of those dashboard machines.

Does the cam door have a window? It looks similar to a couple machines that were just being talked about a few days ago but don't ask me what thread it was. Very cool looking.

As much as I like my little black ladies, I'm taking a liking to these machines as well. Looks like slots for bread on a toaster on the top of the machine.

I wish I knew what cams they took. We have a Japanese machine thread

You should post a picture on there, too.

Like, like, like. Doesn't look too bad condition, either.

I really like this machine. Beautiful color, great condition, all kinds of controls and chrome, great design. I've seen Toyota and White versions of this machine and it looks like it's the higher-end version of the Ambassador machine posted by Rodney some time ago.

Once this is shined and polished, it will be stunning. Congratulations!

Edit to add: the cam door looks identical to the other machines posted re. Rodney's recent Ambassador acquisition. It likely takes the same cams.

I was just going to say that. There are enough similarities to mine and Macybaby's machines. Look for the "Goodwill Ambassador" thread. Flip your machine over and see if it says Toyota or has JA numbers to indicate Toyota underneath.
Cool machine! I haven't worked with mine yet. I've got a few machines further up the list to deal with first.
