Lacehim... La Cimbali on eBay

Kelsey

You've seen there's another 2 group lever on the bay of evil?

It's in Vic. Would share the link but they make it hard via eBay.

Should've been clearer - it's hard via the eBay ipad app.

Are those factory lumps of MDF as side panels?

Lacehim

Nice find but the freight would be a killer from Vic.

I may well bid on this one as it is only a couple km from where I live, but suspect it will go for way more  than I can afford right now. It is completely unknown as to whether it works or not, so might go cheaply. Then again, being in melbourne, lots of people are likely to be wanting a lever. Gotta love that chancer offering $150 cash. If anyone interstate wanted it , I could pick up and pack carefully for ego or similar to ship.

Anyone going to buy this machine?? Pretty cheap, would make a excellent project!

I am struggling here. Should have looked at it yesterday, but didn't manage to organise. So sight unseen, is it worth the potential divorce? Bear in mind I have 4 espresso machines already. One of which is a two group in bits, next to the motorbike in bits in the garage. If anyone else wants it, happy to collect for them and prepare for shipping.

Depends on the state of the marriage... :-| Not saying MY marriage is in trouble, but SOME marriages should never have happened in the first place.

Your a lucky man bf.  make sure we get some photos when you've picked it up.  Am might be interested how it compares to his machine. Mind you, 15 years in storage... Might not be so lucky.  We will have to see!  Still a bargain for $600 I recon.

Just arranging a trip to pick it up later in the week  Coffee crawl of the inner Eastern suburbs and maybe a side trip to Bayswater if time permits.

Good to see ya back Timbo. Bayswater currently has a gaping hole in the ozone layer above it.......seems roasting, roasting and more roasting till I'm about to turn monk brown myself ........we have been flat to the floor trying to break new records. Will be pretty busy here till Thursday and then closed Friday - Sunday for the first time ever.......one of my customers is getting married and of course as a true measure of any mad keen coffee lover he certainly has his priorities right - invite your roaster to your wedding (nah, he is a great guy and a very special customer !).

beanflying

Starting to look at when I can get to town myself and before the weekend looks unlikely. Tuesday-Wednesday next week is more likely depending on the sellers availability. Enjoy the mini break and remember to scrub behind the ears to remove the roaster chaff and oils

mycuppa

OK - sounds good. Think I might need some cafetto with my beer and pizza tonight.
