I thought I would throw this out there…I am about 95% finished restoring an older Macomber B-4-- 12 harnesses and 48 inch weaving width.
(I have pictures on my project page of before and after on Ravelry...will try and post here.)
It only had a sectional beam that the wood was beyond repair, so I am ordering a replacement from Macomber. Before I order my other ‘missing pieces’, I thought I might see if any one has any spares they might part with. Hoping to find a more budget friendly option!
The parts I am in need of are:
4- 48 inch heddle bars
a cloth advance bar
a back crank
and lots of regular sized hooks…mine came with 8!
a regular beam and/or hardware
I have toyed with idea of trying to make my own regular hooks--wire rods or texsolv-- but I am not sure about this.
Rusty parts are ok too!
If I end up having to go with new, I will just have to do it as my budget allows.
I will also try cross posting on Ravelry.
Thanks!
Tamara
