I have received a Maruyama standard gauge knitting machine. It does not have a manual and is not the Princess model. The carriage has “MK-70” on it. Can you help me identify it or lead me to a manual? So far, my extensive internet searching has resulted in little knowledge of this machine.
Thank you so much,
