Special Features
The Roberta carrybag
To make your new Roberta electronic spinner more portable, add the purpose built carry bag to your purchase. Especially useful, if you also order the dual powered version of the spinner. 12 volt and mains power.
Please note, the colour of the bag textile may change, according to the availability of materials
The bag is conveniently made, so it can be washed, but still retain it square rigid shape for the spinner. It is made with a lining material, with 5 lightweight panels, that fit between the lining and the outer surface of the bag. These panels can be removed for the washing. The flaps over the top are fitted with velcro strips for quick and easy closing. The carry straps are soft and easy on the hand, but are strong and durable.
Dual Power version of the Roberta Spinner, (Combo or Jumbo models)
Dual power means that the spinner can be run from either of two sources. i.e. your mains power supply in your particular country, plus from a 12 volt source. It comes with a detachable additional power lead for plugging into a number options. These could be a car cigarette lighter fitting, a portable rechargeable carry pack, or from a small solar panel. This is a great idea for maximum portability. Do your spinning anywhere.
If you decide to have the dual power version, be sure to order this at the time of purchase. Because internal electronic wiring is done differently in these spinners, it is something that is not very convenient to be adding later.

Why not consider adding it to your machine. Easy to use. The spinner still runs as before, with the front on/off switch remaining in operation. To pause the drafting of the fibre, place your foot on the control, or just use your elbow or thigh pressure. Take the pressure off the control to continue drafting again.
Anyone able to handle a screwdriver and a drill, can very easily fit the pause control with the instructions provided. Only $58.00 Australian dollars, plus post and packing. Or if you prefer, you can have it factory fitted for a little extra. Personal cheques or money orders can be accepted. If desired, credit cards can be used by phone, or for mail orders.
