There is a 160 cm (63) 10 shaft Glimåkra standard for sale in Cheyenne, WY $2K. I've checked it out in person, and It is in excellent condition. It comes with three reeds, lease sticks, warping sticks, all Texsolv cords and heddles, all its jack and lamm pins, anchor pins, and shaft holders. It does not have a bench. Both I and another weaver friend who are helping the seller can likely help with transportation in southeast WY or anywhere between Cheyenne and down the front range of Colorado.
