I read with great interest the article about the Brother Linker KA-8310 in this month’s magazine. Does anyone know if I can use it on my Silver Reed LK50 machine?

950i Lace Carriage
Does anyone know whether it is possible to use a lace carriage from a Brother punchcard knitter and use it on the 950i electronic?
Thanks for any help.
Marie.
I don’t think you can use the punchcard model – the Electronic version has a little magnetic piece which presumably reads the pattern.
You can use one from other Brother Electronics like the 910 or 940.
We have a spare from a 940 machine that will do the job for you.
Do you need the Rails as well?
Kind regards

Looking for a local club
I have returned to machine knitting after more than 30 years and seem to have forgotten most of what I once leaned so I need a knitting club in or around Loughborough in Leicestershire. Can anyone help?
machine jamming
The test square etc is fine as it doesn’t use the needles 70-75 on the right.
Can anyone help?
I live in the Braintree area of Essex and would like to join a club if one exists.

Have you tried taking the needles out also checking to see if the underside of the carriage has been oiled also check to see if the needles are not bent.
If it has not been used for some time also see if the bed is not bent.

I’m being given an old (new condition) knitting machine without instructions. If anyone could supply these or a copy I would be very grateful. All expenses paid.
Thank You – Rosie Lincoln
Ribbing attachment SRP-50
I’ve taken my knitting machine out of long term storage and have been unable to fine both Auxiliary pieces (L+R) for Ribbing Attachment SRP-50. Any idea where I could buy replacements?
punch cards
Hello Anne, I have a new Silver Reed knitting machine which came with a set of punch cards. When knitting using a card obviously I start with the card set on row one. But I believe that it is row 5 (or is it row 6) of the card which is being knitted. Can you please advise what row should I start with if using other manufacturers cards. I have a number of Brother and Toyota punch cards which which I would like to put into use.
Kindest regards
Anne
