JUKI KE-1200 knitting machine
JUKI KE-1200 is a standard-gauge knitting machine with punch card capabilities. These cards are called ” memory cards ” in the manual (more below).

Super Speed SH-20 knitting machine
Super Speed SH20 machine is very likely a standard-gauge knitting machine, also resembling one of the Mitsubishi models: its color combination is closest to the Mitsubishi MH-15, but the MH-16 has similar functionality. Despite differences in color, I do see the most technical/engineering similarities with the Mitsubishi MH20. Thus, refer to that post for additional…

Art Knitter Synchro Hi-matic DX-3000 knitting machine
Wow, quite a name! Synchro Hi-matic!! So… Art Knitter DX-3000 is very likely a standard-gauge knitting machine with an 8-push-button mechanism. The only difference I see from the earlier model, DX-2000, is the markings on the pushbuttons. I agree that when the buttons are simply numbered as 1 through 8, it is hard to remember…

The most similarities are with the ARS Amoretto MT-2 model. Refer to the corresponding posts, in which I described the features in…
