I just acquired (fished out of the dumpster) a "Morse Contact
Printer."; mfg'd by the Morse Instrument Co. of Hudson Ohio. It's one
of those "old" things that has an array of switches on the front, one
for each of the 39 Argon tubes that are used to make the exposure. It
has a pressure blanket and looks to be in pretty good shape. I'd love
to use it for non-silver printing.
Any information or pointers to information about this unit or the
Morse Instrument Co. would be gratefully appreciated! Has anyone had
any experience with one of these things. Specifically I am curious
about the power required. On the back there are to male sockets for
power/control cords; one looks to be a regular 120V having two
rectangular male posts, though I can't be sure as I have seen foot
switch plugs with this configuration. The other has four rectangular
male pins and one round male pin (a ground??) configured like this:

There is a round cover which allows only one of the connectors to
be exposed (used) at a time.
Help...
