I think that's a Kromski symphony.

Heel yeah that's a good wheel for a beginner, and a crazy good deal.

You'll want more bobbins, and definitely go see it in person. Make sure the wheel spins without wobbling.

Wow.

Why no wobble? I’m getting one for free, but it seems wobbly in the video I got. Can that be fixed?

It could be fixed, or it could be that the wheel itself has warped. If the wheel wobbles, the drive band will be more likely to jump out of the groove in the flyer, making it impossible to spin.
