WOW~~NICE MACHINE AM!! I was struggling between my Giotto and my thesis, I did not find AM got a fantastic machine. Although I did not really have the knowledge how good the lever machine is. But as a newbie, I can understand it must be bloody GOOD!!

Off topic but I'm pretty sure these guys supplied gaskets for a fluid bed kiln exhaust upgrade I worked on a few years ago - some if the gaskets operated at +1000 degC and the flange OD's were around 1700mm - big & hot! from memory they were a pleasure to deal with.

Was it a 57 mm tamper you needed AM? I have a 57 Espro that isn't needed and I'm sure we could come to a barter arangement. Let me know

Asbestos causes cancer. Smoking causes cancer. A single exposure to either won't kill. Try telling that to a school teacher who won't go into her (or his) classroom because it has asbestos in it :🙂 :doh:

AM, it would depend on a few things. Can it run on 10amp? What's the condition like? When you get it up and running let me know and we can discuss.

Just placed an order for about 80 Euro, plus shipping from a supplier of parts in the EU. Was going to cost about $280US plus and then plus shipping from the USA :o AND if I tried here, well it would take me weeks to go through every page on coffeeparts. Some items available but trying to find is just not worth the hassle. And some would still have to come from OS. In addition the costs on some items are quite interesting... A few cents VS dollars. Thus, log to the EU site, call up exploded views by model or by manufacturer and select and build your order. Save and come back late, after you realise you need other things ??? . All my bits from one supplier and less stress...

Excellent! Makes sense that if a machine comes from Europe that'd be the best place to source parts... Especially the more obscure parts. Can't wait to see the final product! :thumb:

I think bf will need a full set of seals. From memory that machine sat in storage for 15 years!!!! I doubt your supplier would sell lusso stuff would they?

Hey AM, PM me the site and I'll have a cruise. I'm not after anything but who knows.... 😉

derrilex

Get any oysters out of it ?

Lacehim

Nice job AM. It's great to see lots of piccies and progress on the machine despite your hectic schedule. So what will you be replacing the asbestos gaskets with?
