Fricke sold their drum carder business to Strauch in 2000, so this is comparable to the Strauch 200 series carder. It was purchased new in 1989 (I think!) and only used to do about half of one fleece before life got complicated.
I also do not quite remember the price back then, I think it was around $350-$400. The 200 series now sells for $615. I am not sure how much to ask for it, it is in excellent condition.
Please direct questions or offers to my e-mail (just click on my name above).
Thanks,
