This is the one available for $175 (mentioned in the other angora thread, didn't want to hijack) - I don't know anywhere near enough about them to even know if all the parts are there... I see where you feed the wool through, and the hooks for guiding it. The pedal goes up and down to move the wheel (it wobbles a little bit - not sure how normal that is?) - no cord to connect the big wheel to the part that would spin the wool and wind it, but I am guessing that's an easy fix. DH asked me if I went ahead and got it, so that tells me he wouldn't be opposed if it did make it home :lol:

For those that know more about this than I do - are the extra parts sticking out in various places handles? Or what?

Ha! Diagrams are so helpful!

Given that information, I *think* it's all there? Minus the cord... and the treadle is attached with a cord rather than a solid wood bar/dowel - that shouldn't be too hard of a fix either. Can I get more bobbins for it, or are they pretty specific to each wheel?
