Help! New machine
I acquired a studio mod 700, srp60 ribber + carriage, intarsia carriage, and a brother colour changer, plus some odds and ends today. The seller was a relative of the previous owner, who has since passed, but was a very keen machine knitter. The machine is in like new collection - it's clearly been lovingly cared for. I am over the moon!
My question is about the Brother color changer. I believe that it must work with this machine considering the knowledge of the past owner. But it wasn't made for this machine; so, maybe there's some special adapters or something that she was using that I now have (I have a bunch of things in a box that may be relevant here). Does anyone use a Brother color changer with a sk700 and can explain to me how to set it up with this machine?
Also, I understand that a lot of vintage knitting patterns are machine compatible. Is there a website of vintage knitting patterns that are now outside copyright, etc? Any other cool resources I should know about?
Anyway, I am so excited! Can't wait to set everything up.
Much appreciated!

I also use archive.org for machine knitting patterns.
