A demonstration of the Nagy Castle Spinning Wheel. This is a 1981 model built in Wellington NZ. A classic sought after wheel. Now that this wheel is well oiled in it works great as you can see in the video. It spins and plies perfectly and has excellent adjustment on the scotch tension mechanism. It is missing the original orifice hook but one could easily be made and one that would fit into the original storage hole on the wheel. The whorl has an insert spacer that is not original to this wheel. This spacer is made from wood and works fine. Keep it oiled so the shaft that runs through it spins smoothly. The original leather bushings are still in excellent condition and now well oiled once again. The footman leather was replaced. I tried to tie it up with linen thread and it was just too sloppy so I put in a leather strap to hold up the treadle to the footman. Now it works much better. The wheel fits nicely in the corner and has 4 bobbins and 4 bobbin holders. The front two holders double as a lazy Kate for plying. It is only a single speed wheel but it does not over or under spin so it is easily worked and you have nice finished yarn.
