Help needed please

[lisa0307]

Hello all you lovely helpful knitters, remember me, Lisa the loopy stitch knitter, well I'm back again with a request for help needed by a friend of mine, really hope someone can help, here goes....

Does anyone know where I can find spare parts and an instruction book for an electric Toyota Linking Machine model A500. I believe it is almost identical to the Silver Reed DL 1000. This is a machine for joining seams on knitted garments, maybe they all work the same way in which case an instruction book for any make would do.Any information would be appreciated. She has already been intouch with Toyota but they can't help and they don't know anyone that can.Thank you....

We are in the UK so all help really appreciated, thanks Knitters, love Lisa :D
