I have an Empisal Knitmaster 321 knitting machine that my Mum bought, probably in the mid-1970s. She used it a fair bit, but it wouldn't have been over-used and, as far as I can tell, it is in full working order. If anyone is interested in having it then I can check it out. It has punch cards for doing patterns, there is a wool winder and I have several skeins of wool - colours aren't great but they may be useful for practising. I can't find the manual at the moment, though I thought I had it - although I see that you can get copies of the manual on CD from ebay.
I've had a go at selling it, without any response, so I'm happy to give it away for free if someone can make use of it. The only thing is that it is a fairly big, heavy item so I'm not sure how feasible it is to send by post. If I was to post it, then I would want the recipient to pay postage costs.
I'm in Oxfordshire, so an alternative would be for someone to collect it. I'm not going to the Summer Moot, but if the recipient is going then there may be someone passing Oxford who could take it along for them.
