Wanted - Instruction manual for Passap Duomatic 80 knitting machine

I was able to get a Passap duomatic 80 knitting machine cheaply, but no instruction book and I would deeply appreciate a photocopy of that if someone would be so kind. Scanned and emailed would be ideal. Happy to cover your costs. Thanks so much. Trishala de l’Ascension Trishala_inu@bigpond.com.au

I am trying to replace 2 old faithful woollen garments that I have treasured for years. The young lady who knitted these is no longer working in Brisbane, no doubt she has probably retired, and I am wondering if you have a list of machine knitters who actually knit for customers. Do you have such a list? If you can help with this enquiry, I am available at the above mentioned e-mail address or my mobile phone is 0433136219, or, land line 0733496185.
Thank you, Noeline Hodgson (Mrs)

I have bought an old singer 500 electronic knitting machine. Unfortunately it has no power unit- this is a 12v transformer with a wall plug and a lead to the machine. It also has no mylar sheet patterns. Any help locating these to buy would be very much appreciated. Please contact me on triciadev@activ8.net.au
