Model numbers part two


Here's the scoop on the Portable Loom numbering system as well as the Extra Large Macs.
Portables (Baby Macs)that are older than about 1976 were all numbered as CP 11. After that date the models are labeled as follows:
  • CP-F = 16"
  • CP-G= 20" 6H frame
  • CP-H= 20" 8H frame
  • CP-J = 24"
And finally the Type B1 Folding Looms, or Extra Large Macs are the following models:
  • B1 - M= 98"
  • B1-N = 122"
  • B1-O = 146"
The serial numbers are as explained in my last post, sequential from 1- 10,000. And as I mentioned, these model labels are more for the loom builders, so that they can build the correct parts for your loom. Hope this unravels any mystery you might have had about the model and serial numbers!

Keep the questions coming! Happy weaving!
