Another lot that love the Pfaff 1222. I own three right now... my original one that I sewed my wedding dress on and diapers and clothes for my family. It now under heavy use starts to "run on" and no one seems to know why. If I quit using it for a while then it works fine for quite a while. I have since bought 3, one of which I resold to another enthusiast. One needs a new main gear by my OSMG told me not to use the buttons and it will sew on for a lot of years. The other is a 1222SE - whatever that means - and it is a lovely machine. They are just three of my "herd" - I have nine vintage and a Janome MC4800.
