Hello all,
I have a Leclerc traditional spinning wheel I would like to put up for sale on eBay or ??? I am not a spinner and want to be sure it is complete before I offer it for sale. I think there must be a piece missing from one end of the flyer as the small rod appears too big to ride correctly in the leather hole. Here is a link to a photo of what I mean: [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/photofuji/leclercspinningwheel4.jpg][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/photofuji/th_leclercspinningwheel4.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
I would think a that perhaps it needs a wood or metal piece sized to fit the leather with a properly sized hole for the flyer axle? It is not a problem for me to make something for it but I want to be certain what it requires, if anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW - we would like $225 plus shipping for this wheel. Other photos of the wheel can be found with the following links:
