I'm not sure what the wax discs are - let me know where they are on yours and I'll see, but as far as I know mine doesn't have anything except the little black plastic plates with a knob on the top and the washer-type ring that sits on top of the yarn. The motor on it overheats very quickly and trips off regularly, especially when the weather is hot in my shed so I've been looking for a bigger cone winder - without going into the realms of industrial scale! Good luck with the knitting.

I've just bought one for my studio here in Northampton. I'm a knitwear designer & the 'Munty Maxi' as it is called in stricking 70's orange came with some knitting machines. I had never heard of them before in my 22 yraers as a knitwear designer & was intrigued to find out more about them. Mine hasn't got a hank winder but I think I can cobble something together! Also the wax discs look like they are going to give up at any moment- I was wondering if there is anywhere you knew of that sold them?<br />Happy weaving!(I did weaving at Birmingham Poly many many years ago, I loved weaving but knitting took over as it was quicker & didn't have the wait for the technician to help put my warp on)<br /><br />Claire Newberry.clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06212530948509411866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745566406854928141.post-63317152906080752132011-12-03T17:20:21.897+00:002011-12-03T17:20:21.897+00:00Hi, Just come across your blog & notice you ha...Hi, Just come across your blog & notice you have a Munty cone winder in one of your photos.
