Now for the princely some of $50 and a drive to Clunes, I have a lovely old Ashford Traditional wheel. Here's some before and after shots after I have oiled and waxed her.
So now to get a repair kit and some more bobbins and a bit of tinkering to work out the tension etc. and away I go.

That's the wheel type I learned on originally. I ended up replacing the flyer on mine as it was warped, made a huge difference in how she performed! I've since upgraded to a lovely handmade wheel and still enjoy spinning
you lost me on that last bit when you said tinkering...that sounds like work :)
Lovely new addition. Amazing what a little wax can do.
Enjoy your new (old) wheel.
Oh how exciting for you :)
Looks lovely. Happy spinning.
