The EMC6M version with Melco Head was a machine with a white plastic base and a white embroidery head and arm.  The EMC6M version did not have trimmers and had to be connect to the PC to operate.  The head of the machine was also more plastic based than the more metal Tajima head.


The Toyota 820A is a 6 needle machine and the Toyota 830 is a 9 needle machine.  Otherwise, the two single head machines were identical.  The machines did not come with disk drives however a very rare amount of external disk drives we sold.  The machines have a 25 pin serial port that most operators used to connect directly to their PCs to transfer their data designs.  Special software is needed to transfer the designs directly to the machine.  The [[BlackBox]] is also a solution to read designs from a USB stick directly into the machine.  
The EMC6MT version featured trimmers and had a floppy disk port.  These machines can now be upgraded with the [[Floppy To USB]] reader.


The 820A and 830 were redesigned and upgraded from the previous 820 model.  A much more sleek control panel was used and the machine came with the ability to store more that one design at a time.
The EMC6MTL version had all the features of the EMC6MT and a large bobbin.


Although the 820A has '820' in its model, the 820A is very different from the 820 model.
====EMC10====
The EMC10 machine is a 10 needle single head Melco embroidery machine manufacture from 1994 - 1998.  The machine came with optional trimmers and standard bobbin.  The machine came with optional floppy disk drive.  These machines can now be upgraded with the [[Floppy To USB]] reader.


The 820A and 830 did not use the cap system with the motor used by the 820 but instead used an all mechanical version.
====EMC10/4====
The EMC10/4 machine is a 10 needle 4 head Melco embroidery machine manufacture from 1994 - 1998.  The machine came with optional trimmers and standard bobbin.  The machine came with optional floppy disk drive.  These machines can now be upgraded with the [[Floppy To USB]] reader.
