Passap E-6000 Knitting Machine+Stand+4-Color Changer+Electra 3000A Motor ~GREAT!

Description

The Passap E6000 was made by the MADAG company in Switzerland. It is a 5mm electronic double-bed machine. E6000 console contains a program which walks the user through casting on and setting up to knit in pattern. It also includes a Form program which allows the user to input swatch and body measurements and knit a garment with the help of prompts from the console. The electronics program the carriage to set the front pushers in pattern. The back bed also has pushers - these are semi-automatic, i.e. the user sets these up and the carriage can be set to alternate them.
Strippers are used for different kinds of knitting - orange strippers shown on the picture are for double bed work. Black strippers are for single bed work and tubular knitting, although there are some exceptions to this rule. Strippers are paired and they slot into metal holders, which swing up and down on every pass.
To my mind the finest semi industrial electronic knitting machine produced. Passap E-6000 is considered a Cadillac of knitting machines and with an added Electra 3000A motor - the sky is the limit! The machine also comes with a large pattern book with the most unusual textures and stitch patterns. This is coupled with the fantastic 4-color changer (included into this sale) – it makes even large projects into exciting knitting! A printed copy of assembly instructions are included also.
