Well well zozee, its not badged Toyota but....what do you think?[ATTACH=CONFIG]571027[/ATTACH]
My research reveals that the J-A5 is one of the few J-A numbers that has never been identified by the VintageJapanessewingmachines - Yahoo groups which started compiling their JA list sometime prior to 2011.

Did you find that it came with a free sewing machine in 1961? Also did you find a J-C 2?

I thought I saw a red lense that would light up on the nose as indicated by the arrrows.

If it is badged what you have the pictures named, I don't understand in your opening post -- "Yet, I didn't find it on issmacs under the badged manufacturer nor the pics posted in the threads here, or anywhere!" Understand that maybe not this particular machine, the badge (If it is badged what you have the pictures named) name is fairly common.

Joe over at VSS is pretty good about knowing what the J code indicats (it is for manufacturer) but I'm not near as up on japanes made machine.

I have a Fotomatic by Morse, never hears of Foto-magic.
