machine supplies... ect

So I just got an old machine from a thrift store (it was a steal) and it works great as far as I've been able to use it but I'm wondering if the punch card reader works but it didn't come with any punch cards. It is an old studio brand machine and I was just wondering if anyone knows places where there are good deals on stuff like that.

There's a place in Independence, Missouri called knitcraft with lots of punchcards for sale in the back (they mainly deal with silver reed machines though). Maybe one of the cards would work on your machine though...just to test it out.

I used to buy from ebay, I found a really good shop there, but have also found suppliers through machine knitting magazines, I like Metropolitan Machine Knitting. It is a British company and I am sure you would like to find somewhere closer to home, there are often lists of stockists on machine knitting sites. Punchcards are generally either twenty four or sixty stitches wide, I think they will fit any make of machine, given the same guage.

Hi team

I have been looking into getting a simet motor for my silver reed machine and just wondered if anyone else has used/uses one. Would be great to hear how you've got on with it and also where you found it, they seem to be quite hard to come by!

Many Thanks

Sarah

The Ebay shop run by the username "leanneco" is the best one I've found so far for random spare machine parts / tools / punch cards (in the roll too, so you aren't limited to 60 rows!) I've ordered from there multiple times. Oddly a reliable source to find sponge bars, new cams, etc.
