Important Notes Regarding the Takarada-style noodle machine, I am listing this item. I hope someone will like it. Thank you very much! Takarada-style machines are rare! The machine works well, but it makes a squeaking noise when it rotates. One wooden round stick is missing, and another one is about to fall off. (I will remove it before shipping) Because this is an old item, it is being sold as-is, as junk. Please understand this before purchasing. m(_ _)m There are scratches, stains, and rust. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these issues or if you are looking for a perfect item. m(_ _)m Please only purchase if you understand the need for maintenance and cleaning. I plan to ship the item as is, with simple packaging. Would anyone like to have it? ^_^ Please purchase only if you understand the above points and the information in the profile section. Instant purchase OK. Comments are also OK ^_^ Retro Vintage Antique Showa Retro Old tools Antique Noodle making Noodle machine Home noodle machine Commercial noodle machine Pasta Pasta machine Udon Soba Shimizu Shimizu style Shimizu style noodle machine Noda Type 1 noodle machine Noda style noodle machine Takarada style Takarada style noodle machine Cooking utensils
