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.

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

You should post a picture on there, too.

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.
