Hi all,
Ive recently found and bought this old 3-group Brasilia machine. Found it in a shed behind an Italian bakery in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was covered in tomato sauce and had been forgotten for six years. Originally it used to be the pride and joy of a coffee shop in Milan, and since I now live at lake Como close to Milan I thought it was about time to bring it home and restore it to its original splendor. Im pretty sure its about 20+ years old, nut other than that I have no info. Can you maybe help identifying it? Is it a Portofino?
Since its now back with me in Italy there should be a lot of opportunities for professional help, but before getting started on the restoration I would like some advice as to how I should begin. I have not had it plugged in yet since the power cord is broken. I think first step should be calling an electrician...
By looking at the pictures can you guys maybe give me a few impressions? Did I buy a half dead horse or an Italian stallion..?
I have attached a few pics - incl. how/where I found it.
Cheers,
Kasper
PS: Will update with pictures and more info along the way.
