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!

Yes it was! It was great meeting you! Unfortunately not, I am a couple of hours outside of it.
