Hello, I have a question regarding a loom that is for sale at the link (below) -- can it be a Glimakra (perhaps Bohus)? Anyone have an idea if this loom is indeed a Glimakra? If so, is it worth about $150? Thanks for any light you can help to shed on this mystery :)

This may be an older Glimakra table loom, as the warp and cloth beam handles look like old Glimakra handles.  However, I have not seen this loom in any of the old catalogs.  This is a typical loom designed for use in retirement communities, as the large handle is very easy to use. 

This table looms has two shafts.

Thanks so much for your quick response, Joanne :) I found out today that this is, in fact, a Glimakra loom, but the seller didn't have any other details (no user's manual, etc). It was sold earlier today (the auction had a "buy now" option, which somebody took advantage of, quicker than I did). That's ok though. When you mentioned that it only had 2 shafts, I thought it'd be better to wait for a loom that had (at least) 4 shafts. I'm new to weaving as it is and should perhaps gain a little more experience with the rigid heddle looms I have (one being a Glimakra Susanna, 80 cm). Thanks again :)
