Billy, my long awaited 222K just arrived from the UK. The seller stated that it was working, but it is missing the bobbin case. I can get replacement (new) ones on ebay, but you don't happen to have a vintage one tucked away in one of your nooks or crannies do you? The sellers listing them on ebay will only send to the USA or Canada.
Otherwise, what is your opinion on the new versions?
I am incredibly lucky that this machine arrived in what appears to be OK condition, it was so badly packed, you would all have fits if you had seen how little packaging there was. Also, the little round feet on the foot pedal need replacing. Three of them seem to have melted and welded themselves onto the bottom of the pedal. Do you have those too?
