Could be just nostalgia, or maybe there were not many Century 21/22 rigs
made. My first rig was a Century 21, so I always have to go check it out if
I see one at a hamfest. I had a Century 21 purchased used in 79 and I had a
load of fun and made a lot of contacts with it as a novice. If I had the
money, and room, I wouldn't mind having another.
