TO PLACE AN AD: Write a paragraph listing size, brand, harnesses, condition, accessories, location, and price along with your email or other contact information. Send back to me and I'll post it for you. If the item you are selling is a standard brand, there's no need to include a picture.

There is no charge for this service, but if you appreciate having this page available, either as a buyer or a seller, please consider making a contribution by check or through Paypal.
 I will use the money to help fund the Brown County (IN) Art Scholarship which provides funds for a Brown County High School graduate to attend an Indiana University to study art. (And many thanks to those who have contributed ... I appreciate it!)

Please notify me when your loom sells or you find your "wanted" so I can make room for other items. I
 will be removing listings after about two months whether or not I've heard from you. If you still have the item for sale, you can email me again with the new listing.

40" 4 shaft/harness (but room for 6 more!), 6 treadle Macomber B5 Ad-A-Harness. This loom was built in the 60's, but has been lovingly used and is still in good shape. I'm only the second owner and have woven on it for 4 years. The warp beam is plain (not sectional) with a friction brake, which I replaced when I bought it. The dimensions are 52" wide x 36" deep by 49-1/2" tall. When folded, it's only 23-1/2" deep. I added the casters, which allows you to move the loom for easy cleaning of the floor. Included is a homemade raddle and 6 reeds: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 20 dpi. Some of the reeds need to be cleaned a bit but I believe all are usable. I've used this loom for all types of weaving and it's a real dream to warp since both the front and back beam will fold up or lay down on the floor for easy access to the heddles.
All this for only $600. The loom is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Contact Tina (tlhilton@gmail.com) for more information.     6-20
