ARS Amoretto MT-5 knitting machine
ARS Amoretto MT-5 seems to be a standard-gauge knitting machine. I just finished a relatively detailed article on ARS Amoretto Super 8, which has very similar features as this model. Thus, refer to that post. There is a manual for ARS Amoretto/ARS knitter online. Refer to it for further details.

The whole series of ARS, ARS Knitter, and ARS Amoretto machines looks and feels vintage compared to more common and known machines by Silver Reed, Brother and Toyota. For example, one of the unique features of this model is…

Koyo KH-777 knitting machine
There is very little information on Koyo CH-777. However, it looks identical (except for the color) to Corona CH-707, about which I also do not know much. So if you are reading it and know anything or have a manual or have the actual machine, I would really appreciate it if you get in touch…

I found information about Brother KH-264P on a Japanese website. I’ve never heard or seen this model before. At first glance, it looks identical to a popular 9-mm 24-stitch punchcard machine, Brother KH260. Stay tuned as I am researching more.

Empisal KH601 knitting machine
Empisal KH601 knitting machine has 200 needles (4.5 mm apart), and a pushbutton pattern center for automatic needle selection. Empisal KH601 looks identical to Empisal KH610 and KH680.

Silver Reed SK-101 knitting machine
Silver Reed SK-101 is a standard-gauge knitting machine with 200 needles, 4.5 mm apart. It has only basic/manual patterning capabilities. Despite having the same model number as Studio SK101 and Silver SK101, I see some minor differences: Silver Reed SK101 has a built-in row counter (not a slide-in as in Studio SK101 and Silver SK101),…

Brother KH32 is a standard-gauge knitting machine that appeared on the market in the early 1950s. It has 184 needles, 4.5 mm apart. The machine has only manual (basic) capabilities of needle manipulation. It also looks very similar to Brother KH35, about which I already wrote a very detailed post.

Empisal KH67A knitting machine
Similar to the Empisal KH67 knitting machine, Empisal KH67A strongly resembles Brother Profile 551 but has eight pushbuttons. At the moment, except for minor visual differences, I cannot see any principal distinctions between the KH67 and KH67A models. Thus, I suspect that Empisal KR67 ribber will fit the KH67A model as well.
