I have one, bought it nearly 40 years ago. had the lace carriage and i bought the ribber too. I had a lot of fun with it but haven't used it in years. Made a lot of sweaters as gifts as well as for my kids. problem was, at the time there was only one place to buy the cone yarn needed and it got expensive with a growing family. I don't know if the newer ones require it now. it's packed away in the attic, maybe i'll revive it someday.
