As promised in my last posting here is the rejuvenation of my "new to me" Garter Carriage. There are photos of the condition I received it in, a picture of the whitening process, putting it back together and the finished result.
I am thrilled with the way it turned out and it runs great! This is not a difficult process, just some screws to remove and off you go (lots of cleaning and whitening done here).
I implore all machine knitters after each big project to de-fuzz any of their KM's, Garter Carriages and etc. The tarn fuzz builds up, collects on excess grease and oil and can cause damage. Don't over grease, oil or lube; it builds up and again, can actually do more harm than good!
