Default Very Cool Morse Fotomatic IV for sale outside Boston

Lots of gleaming chrome and dials- http://capecod.craigslist.org/for/3727502790.html
I wonder what it cost when new, and how old it is.
I'm sure someone here must be looking for one of these.

Too far for me to pick up and send- sorry! I'm more of a treadle lover, but I find this one pretty attractive. Must be a magpie in my genes.

For some odd reason, there are about 5 of these rock 'n roll beauties for sale in the Seattle area on Craigslist. All priced from $35 to $55. I don't get it. Other, far less intriguing machines seem to be selling for a lot more.

I have one of these and I love it. It reminds me of a '57 Chevy!

I have fallen in love with the hot pink version of the Morse...upon researching it, I found out that these Fotomatic models are sought after because of the chrome and being rememniscent of an old Chevy. I'm not crazy for the Fotomatic but if anyone comes across the hot pink version of the Morse for less than $100, I would love a "heads up" (if you aren't going to buy it for your own "collection")

too bad the listing has already been removed, I'd have loved to see a picture of the machine.

I'm not sure which model was in that listing, but here are several Morse machines on Craigslist right now in Washington:
