LOL Pony Express? I'm checking with Laurie to see if either of these has a deep castle for 16H. Connie

I've checked and am told neither loom has room for more shafts.

The wood on the 12S loom is in decent shape, but the metal parts have some rust.  I am told nothing major is missing, that we are talking nuts and bolts kind of things, but one would want to check that out.  The price is low (for our area) so that the buyer has the extra to do what is needed.
