Recently I picked up a Newcomb Studio Loom. It wasn't put
together, needed a good clean-up and I still need a new reed and heddles
but soon. In putting it back together I noticed
something. The castle seems out of square relative to the side frames.
Looking from the front of the loom it seems to go back to the rear of
the loom on the right side. I don't know how that's possible as all the
original bolts holes are there and not tampered with. No extra or
elongated holes. When you bring the beater up to the castle it hits on
the left side first. One of the metal bars that the lams bolt to was
bent at the bolt hole which is the only other odd bit. I did straighten it somewhat. Have you got any
ideas why the castle might sit like that, or if you think it will mess my weaving up?
Thank-you,
John O'Shaughnessy
