Because physical problems make it difficult, I have not been able to work on machines for
the last couple of years. If and when these problems improve, I hope to work on a few
more. But unless I have posted a machine for sale on this site, I have none available.
My mechanically restored antique circular sock knitting machines are guaranteed to work
properly when they leave my shop. I do not re-paint my machines, as I feel it takes away
from their historical integrity. I will not normally sell a machine without necessary
accessories (such as weights and buckles) that may be missing from machines offered on
eBay.
When I work on a machine, I make whatever repairs and adjustments are within my
power so that my buyers know that they should be able to knit and rib (if applicable) with
it when they receive it. My final test of a machine is to make a pair of socks on it. If the
machine passes this test, it is ready to go!
Learning to use a sock machine happily requires a good bit of patience and perseverance.
Like any other skill, one must work at it to get good at it. Having a machine that is
guaranteed to work should help a beginner, who will know that it has been thoroughly
tested with knitting and ribbing before it arrives.
Included in the price of my mechanically restored sock machines is a promise of full
technical support via email (and in extreme need, telephone) for as long as it is needed.
I have worked on most of the common brands of machines, and I sometimes have
machines in various stages of completion. Feel free to contact me for possible availability.
Prices vary depending on the number of cylinders and ribber dials that come with a
machine, and also on the rarity of a machine.
Prices begin at $650 for a basic machine with one cylinder and no ribber. This includes
everything needed to begin making socks. Below is the general list of accessories I
include with every machine I sell.
Included with the machine as standard equipment:
*Please note: I don't make money on needles--these are current prices.
Payments may be made through PayPal, personal check, or money order/cashier's check.
A layaway plan can be arranged for up to four months--one third of the total amount will
hold a machine.
