Hey a date with a clone machine could be good as long as it does what it's told and doesn't talk back

Likely some time in the 1950's. There were dozens of names slapped on these machines, and there isn't a whole lot of information about them.

Thanks for all the information. I passed it along to the friend with the machine.

I've not tried to date my friend's machines, but I have invited a few to come live at my house!

That is a very neat looking machine - I love the look of some of those clones, the Japanese got real creative with the names they put on the machines.

What is the serial number? I can see there is one, under all the dust in front of the pillar. Might give a clue as to who and when made.

Serial number is either M021 or MO21 I'm not sure if the second digit is a zero or an oh.
