  • Vintage Bo-ema

    Hey guys, not sure if anyone would be interested in this either to restore or for use as parts but recently we removed an old Bo-ema machine from under the building at the place I work.  Its probably been sitting under there for at least 20 years.

    Boema themselves were impressed that the machine was in the good condition it was despite some rusting - however they dont supply parts for them anymore (they mentioned the rubbers would definitely need replacing) so they didnt have any suggestions for what to do with it.

    I have uploaded some pictures to flickr to give you an idea what it looks like.  If anyone has any suggestions/offers please let me know.

    It has been cleaned up a little but its still got a bit of dust on it.

    Nice find   Dont be to worried about finding rubber bits for it as the piston assemblies werent made by Boema but are an Italian import.

    In all honesty is is worth some reasonable money to the right person even in its current state.  If I didnt have a Z9 2 grp already I would be up for buying it to rebuild. But I could be convinced to add another project to the shed

      A real leaver...

      Thats what I have been on about for some time...

      However while I have some experience with the standard units... This unit and getting quality spars may be an issue...

      Need to think about it... PM Sent.

        I thought as much.  I might do a bit of looking around at where the parts are available and what kind of stuff would need to be done to get it back up and running.

        At the end of the day its not my call as to what it sells for but Im pretty sure that the asking price wouldnt be too high considering that its not operable and has been sitting for a while.

        If anyone has any offers or would like more information or to ask any questions, feel free to send a PM or reply.  Ill probably be on quite regularly throughout the week and beyond.

            Hi John

            A lot of people would be interested in this! Its a rare find and seems to be in pretty good condition, ie. valuable.

            Any parts that may be required wont be too difficult to come by.
