    Thanks Andy I'll bear them in mind if I require further work, the machine has been collected by Coffee Machine Warehouse.

    It would be nice if people couple put a little note on their socials/website if they are not currently taking on work.

    Correct, he's following other pursuits. Hopefully he gets back in the game one day though!

    In Melbourne you would be best to have a chat with Specialist Espresso
    https://coffeesnobs.com.au/forum/new...alist-espresso

    Huge amount of experience on all the old Italian machines right up to Slayer and hipster gear.

    I too tried getting in contact with him with no response to emails. I do hope he is ok

    Quick update, finally got a quote from Coffee Machine Warehouse, which I will go with.

    Coffee Machine Technologies who I also contacted failed to even acknowledge recipet of my email, so they're now on my blacklist.

    nickm we're in Richmond, I'll give them a try ?

    Javaphile Thanks I'll give that a whirl if all else fails ?

    Romar Elements in Bayswater ph(03) 9761 0299 maybe worth a try also if local coffee service companies don’t come through.Maurice

    Thanks noidle22 that sounds like it could be a good option the source I've found in the UK has the elements at GBP 72.00, so when you facture in freight $160 is looking pretty competitive. What is the name of the company?

    I had an element custom made by a Sydney company for a discontinued Brasilia. Was around $160 which I thought was pretty fair.

    Neat, it appears you may have the original Faema Compact model. I would suggest using the QUOTE link found at the top and bottom of every page. This will send your request to every Sponsor and those who can provide the service you need, or can point you to someone who can, will respond back to you. Include as much information as possible in the Quote request for the best responses.

    Where are you based? I've had good experiences with Coffee Machine Technologies in Tullamarine Victoria

    I would have thought if you have access to an assortment of tools you could install a new element yourself, if you are relatively handy that is. I suspect the element will be a little difficult to remove, nothing that patience won’t cure. Maurice

    According to the plague on the front of the machine it's a "Compact"

    The second image isn't my machine but the same model
