Amazing machine with reasonable learning curve
The Brother KX-350 is an amazing machine with a learning curve. This cleverly designed machine allows you to knit on up to 130 needles at a single pass. The needles themselves are like latch hooks, if you remember those from the old days. I made a 48" (XXL) v-neck vest for my brother in worsted wool in just a couple of hours on the machine. It can handle increases and decreases through the use of a little hand manipulation tool. All it needs is mattress stitch up the sides to finish. It really appears to be handknit and my hands are very grateful for the break.
My particular purchase was a 1987 model with all the parts and manuals, which helped significantly. There are also good videos online to help you get started.
If you decide to purchase one of these, know up front that unless stated otherwise, YOU the BUYER will need to replace the sponge bar which supports the needles. It's not as bad as you think and, barring any other mechanical problems, your machine will run like brand new when you finish that operation. You can find a seller here on eBay for the sponge bar (less than $10).
Be prepared to make your own patterns, but that can be fun. Your tension swatch will guide your designs and you will have some ups and downs as you get started. An intermediate level knitter with an interest in something different would probably love the KX-350 adventure. Have fun!
