Hi everyone
Last year I started on a project of getting together the things needed for a programmable knitting machine. I got all the pieces needed around March. Unfortunately my mental health has been very bad so I haven’t even opened some of the packaging let alone set anything up. Right now it’s all just a horrible reminder. I would like to donate everything to the makerspace but wanted to mention everything here and find out if you have space for it all.
I have:
- 1 Brother Electronic Knitting Machine KH-910
- This is the thing I’ve done most work on, but it needs the most work as it came to me in poor condition without a power supply and with most of the needles jammed. I opened it up to check it was in tact (as I had no power supply) and everything was there. Both spongebars need replacing as they were badly perished. The perished needle retaining sponge bar had leaked on to the needles, making them sticky so I removed them all for cleaning and they still need to be cleaned and put back. The machine is currently in its original box.
I also have the All Yarns Are Beautiful interface for the KH910 which I bought off Evil Mad Scientist. The knitting machine won’t need the power cord if this is in use.
The following things I bought off eBay and are in whatever packaging they were sent to me in, unopened and I haven’t checked that they are as described from the ebay listing.
- Power Cord for Brother knitting machine KH910
- KR830 KR838 KR850 Carriage Complete for Brother Knitting Machine
- Brother KRC-830 Colour Changer
This set up should allow for programmable double bed jacquard knitting.
Given the work that needs doing in setting this up is it something you would accept as a donation?
