Wow, that's pretty cool.  A late one too - either a '78 or a '79 model.

Hey Joe

Hey Joelippard-------any chance of a better view of the timer? IT looks like 4 cycles?
Thanks
Mark

 

[akronman]

oh

I blew up the pic, but still fuzzy and it would be great to see a better shot.

It looks like the regular cycle starts on the lower right, moves acorss the bottom, and up the lower left. So 3 cycles total--------I wonder what the KNITS cooldown cycles has different than the PERMPress CoolDown cycle?

while Joe replies

here's a couple views closer up

Thanks

... for the closeups, but probably gotya run it through the cycles to find the difference between KNITS and PermPress

 

[joelippard]

Why of course, here you go.  I really only use the regular cycle on this one.

Joe...

Joe-
That's a great looking machine! Do you have any vid's of that beauty in action?
Would be nice to see it running.

Thanks guys, no I don't have any videos of it.  What I can tell you is that when I got it most of the beauty had been preserved by dust and dirt and it had a broken belt on it.  It would seem this machine was low mileage because it is very quiet for a 1-18.  Getting it going was basically turn key because it just took a little sprucing up.  I use this one more as my daily driver while preserving the Poppy 1-18 for occasional usage.
