As if I didn't have enough to do...
I've got an old spinning wheel that has been calling to me. It's been "decoration" for I-don't-know-how-many years, but I'd love to learn to use it. I know it needs a drive band, the legs fall off every time we move it, and the flyer needs to be fixed (I have the other half), but can someone tell me what type of wheel this is and what I need to do to make it functional?

Thanks!
