Look what came to live with me!
It is a brand new Lendrum DT spinning wheel, fresh out of the box. I picked it up a week ago.
I've wanted one of these wheels for quite a while. My Louet is okay but it is limited in its capabilities (or at least what I am able to do with it). The Lendrum has a huge range of ratios and is more versatile. A few months ago I inquired with a local company to see if they had any and they told me they had a shipment arriving in August. I decided not to put my name on one because I was going to Sock Summit and would need more time to save up for a wheel after that.
Last week the company emailed me to let me know that they'd received a shipment and one of them was unspoken for. Would I like it? I was torn. It took several monhs for this order to come in so if I didn't get it I could be waiting a long time. Then Augie said he'd buy it for me. Yay!
I've been spinning on it all week (and neglecting the veil oops) and I love it.

Congratulations! Looks like you're having fun with it. Spinning (just spindle) has been trumping knitting here, too. But you have a deadline, and I don't! :cracks whip:
