My partner bought an old Brother knitting machine and ribber attachment during the lockdown. I think it was the KH820 if my memory serves me correct, one with a punch card reader.

When she bought it, the machine had been sitting in an attic for a couple of years so by the time she had it it wasn't in the best working condition. Took a little while for me to learn how to strip it apart and clean it, but one done it was back in perfect working condition. It's amazing how well some of these machines were designed. Easy to see why they can still fetch such an expensive price tag.
