Studio mod. 323 is a punch-card knitting machine with 200 needles, 4.5 mm apart from each other. Studio mod. 323 is one of the last models in this series not to include a built-in knit leader (although Studio mod. 322 already has a built-in knit-leader… Hmmm…).

Studio mod. 323 is very similar to Studio mod. 321 and Studio mod. 324 with some minor differences in the look. Thus, read the corresponding articles on these machines.

I like that the plastic end caps on the needlebed of Studio mod. 323 do not have plastic rivets but attach using metal screw (there is a corresponding metal plate inside the grooves of the end caps for a more secure connection). Studio mod. 324 features the same but Empisal Knitmaster model 324 I recently also worked on, had the usual plastic rivets. Maybe depends on where the machines were assembled?

Other knitting machines very similar to the Studio mod. 323 are Singer mod. 323, Studio mod. 321, Silver SK321 as well as Silver SK322, Studio mod. 322, and Singer MemoMatic 322.
