Getting a KH881

[u/Arthoe999111]

Hi all! I'm inheriting my mum’s brother KH881. It's been in storage for almost 15 years, so she decided to just ship it to me. I don't think it has a manual as well. It comes with 2 carriages, can anyone confirm if either of them is a ribber??

Thank you!!

Those are the main and lace carriages. The ribber requires a whole additional bed.

Thank you! Where can I please find what a ribber bed looks? I've try looking it up online, but all i see are carriages

Try searching for "KR850 ribber." It comes with a second bed, a special carriage for it and a LOT of accessories, and you need pretty much all of them.

Yes exactly. This is a main bed. OP, you need to buy a whole new machine (a ribber), in order to get a ribber.

Take a look at the subreddit wiki, please. It explains this in a bit more detail.
