Can you ID this machine?
My sister inherited this machine. Under the machine, it says it's a Morse 1000. I can't find anything anywhere about a Morse 1000. She's never used it, as she doesn't know how to thread it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found two more just like it, one on a old Morse group on Flickriver. No one knew anything about it. There's an identical one on Ebay right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-Morse-Mo...gAAOSwCGVX6GsR.
The one on ebay says, "super stretch stitch" where mine says "Super".and has a Morse insignia on the face.
I assumed it's a Japanese model that's badged Morse. I read some history on needlebar and they were mostly Japanese. But not all. Morse didn't manufacture anything.
The old flickriver group, http://flickriver.com/groups/vintage...l/interesting/, has photos of Morse machines that say "made in switzerland".
I'll look a the Husqvarna machine from that era and see if I can find anything.
Thanks,
bk

As far as I know, it's from the early 70's or before. Unless she replaced the machine, it's one she had in 1972 or so. I don't know how long she had it before that. She died in 1976. So, it has to be before 1976.
