Just to update this - I sent it off to be serviced with the naked portafilter and the service tech said it doesnt fit my machine. Other than that the machine is in good nick - just needed a few new parts (shower etc), a descale and they were putting my new steam arm on and then I can pick it all up.

Have to say I have been massively impressed with the aeropress I have been using while the gaggia was in the shop.
