Title: Re: Looking for Karsten steam items and a Wilesci T125
Post by: NinevZ on March 01, 2026, 10:26:34 pm: Hi and thanks!
I'm not well-versed in his offerings. The 3 that I have are pretty simple ones and don't know if they have names. If you're willing, would you send me photos of ones you might be willing to sell and work from there? I'm at nkz427@yahoo.com
Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm new here. And I'm learning that what I hope to find is not easy to find anymore. I have 3 Karsten steam balls, but hope to find others and Karsten accessories as well. If you have any of these or can recommend where I can look, I would be very thankful!

Thanks, Ninev

What country you located in ?

I think i have a couple of items here in New Zealand

Cheers
Dennis

Hi Dennis. I'm in the US. I hope that isn't a problem. What items do you have. I'm not sure if it's allowed here, but you can also reach me at nkz427@yahoo.com

Thanks!

Post by: NinevZ on February 09, 2026, 03:24:14 pm: Thanks Stoker. Yeah it looks like it's gonna be wait/hope/see.

Post by: Stoker on February 09, 2026, 11:15:57 am: Certainly the don't show up often, but I would think the eBay would be a good place to keep tabs on, as well as some of the Facebook steam groups. Other than that, steam shows and gatherings would likely be a fair bet, though as you say, the field is rather sparsely populated, so you'd have to expect to come away empty handed most of the time.

Best of luck in your search and happy steaming in the meantime!!!
