Since
then, I’ve purchased 3 additional regular bobbins (for a total of 7), and the
very fast flyer (with one bobbin and orifice hook).
All
parts are made from maple. This wheel has a Scotch tension drive mechanism,
with drive ratios on the regular flyer of 6:1, 8:1, and 10:1. Drive ratios on
the plying flyer are 5:1, 7:1, and 9:1. Drive ratios on the fast flyer are
12:1, 15:1, and 17:1. Drive ratios on the very fast flyer are 26:1, 30:1, 36:1,
and 44:1.
I have
not used the plying flyer or the very fast flyer.
I
really do like this wheel, but I’ve got two other wheels that meet my wheel
spinning needs.
The
wheel is in excellent condition EXCEPT that I’ve written my name (A Tyler) on
the bottom of the wheel, on the fast flyer, and on all the regular bobbins with
a sharpie pen. I’ve also written the bobbin’s weight on each regular bobbin.
The current retail price of the double treadle “complete” is $790; the current retail price of a regular bobbin is $20, and the current retail price of the very fast flyer is $199.
I am
asking $750 for all. I’d rather not ship, but if I did, buyer would also pay
S&H and insurance (I’m guessing that’d come to $40-$75). I’ve got the
original box, but not all the cardboard bits that go inside that box. So, I
could ship the wheel in the original box and all accessories in a separate box.
I live
in Interlochen, Michigan (zip 49643). If you are interested, you can contact me

Hello,
ReplyDeleteIs this spinning wheel still available? I know you’d rather not ship, however I live in NJ. I’m a beginner & the Lendrum came highly recommended.
Oh wait!! I just looked at the date this was posted for sale. So sorry!
