I just bought a Centennial on eBay...I was surprised, as of last night eBay had 15 Centennials for sale and I think 3 222's. Some people didn't know they had a Centennial and those that did want more.
The one I bought needs a new paint job, so I'm having it painted either brown with gold or periwinkle with black. I've seen a brown one and it was beautiful...Periwinkle would be fun and funky. :)
I have another centennial, a blackside, and 2 regular ones. I'm trying to collect enough so there will be one for each grandchild when I'm gone. They've all come over and sewn with me, but they always want to use the Bernina. go figure. haha
I use 2 of them all the time. I have one set up at my house, and then one set up at my friends house so that I don't have to cart it back and forth. I love the way they sound. They're such a great little machine...compact and cute....
