As of 1:30 pm EST, I am the proud owner of a new (to me) Structo 4 harness table loom. **HAPPY HAPPY DANCE** I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!! Lord knows I prayed on this one, I found it on ebay in the antiques section not in the weaving section and I was the only bidder. For a week I've checked everyday, expecting someone to outbid me, but it didn't happen, I got her for $ 125.64 including the shipping, can you believe it. I was so shocked it took me a full 30 seconds before I realized that I really had won it. Considering that I'd been beaten quite a few time over the last past month. Well good bye birthday cash, hello my little loom.
Isn't she a beauty, well a little rough around the edges but hey, so are diamonds. I just paid for her and they will be shipping to me soon, I can wait. Not that I know what to do when she gets here, but one step at a time. I think I'm in luuuuurve!
Now the fun part getting some kind of manual, instructions etc..
I've already put on hold some books at the library for 4 harness looms so, this should be fun!! I guess I should start hunting down some shuttles and reeds.
What do you guys think??

What a find, congratulations! It looks to be a workhorse-just think of all the things you will be learning on this! Hope it gets here soon!
Congratulations!!!!!!!!! You got a great buy. Have fun using it.
I just got your comments on my blog and had to say-my sons both work for SW in No FL!! A very good company to work for. I love the fimo clay-it looks hard but is very forgiving-you will see more of it in future posts.
Congrats on your new loom! I've never used a Structo but I know a lot of people love theirs. Enjoy.
I always love hearing about a new loom!! Those Structos seem really cool. Enjoy!!

Oh! Congratulations! I've seen one of those looms before and really, really wanted to get my hands on it. You are so lucky. I know you will absolutely love it!
I have heard great things about those looms! Let us know what you think when it arrives and you get the chance to play with it.
I don't know a thing about that loom but it looks like it could be fun! And it sounds like you got a good deal!
Check out the all_things_structo group on Yahoo. They have the manual, some history, and the original patents in the Files section. You've got a newer structo, and it looks to be in good shape. Congrats! I enjoy mine a lot.
