Not sure what it is, but $49 is a great price! Looks like it works how it should. Drive wheel drives the flyer (which makes it scotch tension), and I see a tension knob for the brake band to go around the bobbin, but you may have to use your own piece of cotton string.
It looks like there are only 2 bobbins, so if you wanted to make a 2-ply yarn from separate singles, you would have to wind the first bobbin onto a toilet paper roll, and then ply together on the empty bobbin. But since there's a skeiner, that should be easy.
Seems like a great deal for someone who wants to try it out! You may even be able to sell it for more when you go to get rid of it. If you're learning to spin, I recommend Start Spinning... I checked out tons of books from the library, and this one's the best.
Let us know how it goes! I want to see it in action!
I got start spinning.
