My 1222, purchased new in 1975, was supposed to be kaput a few years ago, but I found a technician who got it apart and said there was nothing wrong with it but 40+ years of gunk. He said he used a product you would use to free up gears in a car, or something like that. Anyway, good as new! And they said it was one of the best old workhorse machines made.
