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.

I realise that this is an ancient thread but someone else might come along looking for the answer to the same question. The Morse 1000 you have pictured is pretty much identical to a Mica sewing machine for which I have no model number.

This Japanese website identifies Mica sewing machines as being built by the Nitto Light Machinery Co., Ltd...

Mica also released the SX 3000 where the company's name is given as Nito Keiki Kogyo on this link...

This machine is similar to the Electra SX 4000, Dressmaker Super Zig Zag Model 1200 and Lemair 1150 & 1200 which is my interest in this brand!
