The message
from "Marcus" contains these words:

First thing to be aware of is that Passap no longer make machines, (stopped
a couple of years ago I think, so parts & accs. will be hard to find.

Brother no longer exists but I managed to get some spares through a firm
called Bingo Office Supplies Ltd. They seem to do a range of knitting
machine spares - worth knowing about.
