I have a a Tin Lizzie 18 along with a Pinnacle Frame. The frame comes with everything you need to assemble it, no need to buy extra parts. I have it set up for king sized quilts, 120". My DH put it together in a few hours. We carried it up a flight of stairs around two sharp corners with no problem. As far as servicing, my DH does that too, we called Ernie and he told us how. By the way, I didn't buy it to make money, I bought it so that I could finish all the tops that I had accumulated. Sure beats trying to quilt them on a small machine. Hope this helps :!:
