SOLD – Erlbacher Erl (Legare 400) Circular Knitting Machine for Sale $2100

I am selling my Erlbacher Erl circular knitting machine. This is a rare find. The Erlbacher Erl is a reproduction of the Legare 400 circular knitting machine. The Erlbacher Knitting Machine Company briefly manufactured it in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, USA.

Like the Legare 400, it is a closed-cam system with a 1:1 crank ratio.

Unlike an antique Legare 400, this a newly manufactured machine. It utilizes modern metals for better wear and tear. It has an adjustable and slotted yarn carrier and slotted yarn mast topper. This machine also has a reliable bail-style row counter that is standard on all Erlbacher Knitting machines. It can use Legare 400 cylinders and ribber dials.

This machine purrs and has made hundreds of pairs of socks. It knits and ribs like a dream.
