I have a 222 that I bought and received shipped from England. Anything $600 or less is a bargain!
The 222s were made in Scotland for the English market with the English power only, so either a converter (which I got with mine, but did not work well) or change the motor for our power here. Wall plug will have to be changed, too.
None of that was a problem for me as my wholesale supplier has motors and everything else that I could possibly need.
By, the way 222 were made from 1953 until 1961. Serial numbers were EJ, EK, EL, EM, EN, EP, ER, and ES.
Let me know if I can help.
