Hello. I could use any help or info about this Binder loom. It was graciously gifted to me 6 years ago. I do not know how to use it. First I need to understand the mechanics of it and then I need help warping it...I haven't been able to find any videos on how to warp it. There doesn't seem to be much info on the internet about Binder looms. Anyone have any helpful info, please?

Thank you.

Some time in 2010 I found an 8 harness Binder loom on the side of the road in Tahoe California.  The family was clearing out grandma's house.  The loom had to go.  The thing weighed over 400 pounds.  Long story short, my beautiful loom was destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire.  I have just found another Binder in a house where it had lived for 50 years.  The loom is in very good shape, but there are missing parts.  

The loom needs heddles, tie rods and a crank.  I know that I can use other newer parts.  I would rather restore this beautiful old lady to her former glory.  Please let me know if you can help with some or any of these parts.

Camilla Valley Farms carries Leclerc loom parts.  Many manufacturers have used Leclerc parts, and they are very adaptable.  I would try there.
