I am now the proud owner of a B5 Macomber Loom with a sectional beam. I just had my first weaving lesson from a local fiber guild member when my husband came home and told me he saw a loom for sale in a thrift shop. He made me go look at it even though it was way to soon to purchase one but he said it was well made and he knew I would be wanting one sooner or later. So a few days later I bought the B5 Macomber Loom. I called Macomber and was told she was built in November of 1962, I was totally amazed that she was all in one piece and I only had to replace the rubber stops. She was dusty and dirty but now that I have cleaned, polished, oiled and lubricated everything that I was told too by Macomber, she is looking great. Now I just need to learn how to weave!
