Hi,
I am looking for information on the make of the vertical two lap machine in the attached picture to learn more about it. I can find nothing similar on the internet and there is no manufacturer name on the machine itself. It was used in the 1960s and I am interested in using it.

Anyone know anything about it?
Thanks, Doug

I wish I could help, I have seen them numerous times over the years. But for the life of me can not remember what they were/are called. sad smiley. Something "Devil" keeps sticking in my mind though.

I have the same problem remembering the name. I know I have sold one or two that I got in old collections in the past but haven't seen one in a long time. Try going to rockhounds.com. Go to table of contents. You will find discussion groups. There are a lot of old timers there that can probably help you.
