I bought this new from Gilmore in either 2012 or 2013.
22 inch weaving width, very sturdy loom
Includes: removable lighted top tray
Cloth beam tray
sectional beam
Tons of inserted eye heddles - at least 800 are on the 8-shaft loom plus about that many more, all well organized
8,10,12 dent ss reeds
Raddle that fits in the beater
Warping wedge
Lots of warping sticks if you want them

The loom is in very good shape but there is a “modification” that I made.

As it turns out I like a really tight warp and this loom can give you that. Unfortunately that meant that I actually broke one of the attachments of the apron rod to the cloth beam! I spoke to Bob and he said no one’s ever done that before. Anyway, I fixed this by reattaching it with texsolve. It works fine but is not the prettiest, and the texsolve has worn some shallow grooves in the front where they go over the front of the loom - this should not be a tension issue because this is wide of the weaving space, but not cosmetically fabulous.

More photos on my project page. I included the groove from texsolve in the front of the loom.

Altogether asking $1800
