This machine was clearly inspired by the Mignon but made much more cheaply. When I got it, the carriage was detached and was missing its bearings. I was able to fix it up and get it working ... for was well as I suspect these machines ever worked. Still very cool.

I also made it new 3d printed feet and rollers, the first time I had designed and printed parts for a machine on my own. I also had to replace the 2mm fed roller shaft since it was simply crimped in place. Rather than crimp in the new one (with the new rollers) I used commercially available rubber "boots" to give it a little lateral stop.
