    Typically selling for well over 00.00 for a whole machine, this is a parts machine.
    The only thing wrong with this machine, is that the computer doesn't turn on and it does not come with a carriage or lid. it is the machine only.
    THE COMPUTER DOES NOT TURN ON, IT DOES NOT COME WITH A CORD, it does not come with a carriage. either the brother 270 OR BROTHER 260 will knit yarn on this machine.
    Once you obtain a carriage and sinker plate, this machine WILL knit stockinette with out being plugged in.
    bulky 270 or a bulky 260
    carriage
    you can enjoy knitting 144 stiches a minute in stockinette, hand manipulated stiches such as cables,  hand manipulated lace and many more interesting textual knitted fabrics. These stitches do not require the machine to turn on in order to work. The only thing the computer does is pre-select needles for pattern knitting.  This machine will pattern knit if you manually select the needles with a needle selecting comb. see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBetcOguzoA for how to knit with out the computer. and here is a really good video on how cable knitting is made on the knitting machine:

    If you are handy with a soldering iron and can solder new capacitors, replace the battery, and diagnose other electronic component issues, and repair the computer, you may be able to get away with getting this rare machine for a song. you can download and read the repair manual here: http://machineknittingetc.com/brother-kh270service-manual.html. if you like to hack knitting machines, this just may be the project for you.
