Just a note for knitting machine newbies, that a vintage machine will need a fresh sponge bar to knit. It can be very confusing to find a nice looking machine but it drops stitches when you enthusiastically have a go. It's not the machine, it's you. Check the sponge bar!
I would also add that the average eBay special will need an awful lot more than just a sponge bar to knit! If you check out my restoration playlist you can see what I have to do to get a machine to a position where I am happy to sell it as fully working...
The card he used with the triangle pattern will not work for tuck. Tuck stitch cards are easy to distinguish because almost all the holes are punched. To use that design for tuck stitch, one would have to re punch it in reverse and punch all the unpunched holes and leave the punched holes unpunched from the original card he showed.
Bonjour. J’ai la même machine mais j’ai un souci avec la cames orange en plastique sous le chariot. Quand je met le bouton de sélection sur KC une cames se met bien dans la position haute alors que la deuxième reste en bas. J’ai ouvert le chariot, nettoyé il est comme neuf. Je n’ai rien vu qui pouvait bloqué. Tout le reste fonctionne très bien sauf la came cite. Avez eu ce souci ? Si oui pouvez vous m’aider ? Je suis français et je ne trouve aucune aide. Merci d’avance.

I am confused. My carriage on an 881 seems great and moved the needles but once the sinker plate is on, jam-city. Is there a chance it's the wrong sinker plate? Is there a way to attach the sinker plate that I don't understand?

Where can you get new sponge bars please ?
Actually the triangle card is a tuck card
Well, I have always taken the view that any card is fair game for any pattern which will work with it!

.... And this is why I have always preferred push button machines!
