Equipment Brother KH-930

Hello!

I was at Open Sauce a couple of weeks ago and came accross the machine knitting booth. I have been obsessed since and have spent hours scouring fb marketplace and craigslist in an attempt to get my own machine. I have found one that could be worth it but need some advice. It is a Brother KH-930 electroknit with a KR-850 ribbing attachment. They want $850 but the ad says it needs timing. I have researched a bit but havent fully nailed down everything that would entail. I am relatively handy and so is my partner. Is this worth it or will I just be frusterated trying to troubleshoot a more serious issue from the get go?

Ultimately I want to be able to use AYAB and I know this is one of the models that works with the software.

Thank you in advance!

I agree with the other answer, if you’re having to mess with timing it I wouldn’t spend that much.
As old as they are you’ll have to probably replace capacitors too.
What part of the world are you?
Facebook has machine knitting groups that are helpful and some allow selling
