Hi Retroman,
I also have a Vulcano. I am envious of your badges, as mine came without them.
I bought it at auction a few years ago. It was so stylish, but I was amazed at the lack of interest from other bidders. I had no idea at the time of the brand or model. I eventually noticed a picture of one at the LM museum in Italy at Paul Pratts website. I contacted him about the grinder. As it happens, about 18 months later he aquired one along with a single group LM "Comet". Im pretty sure hes written an article about his restoration somewhere on the web.
I have replaced the original burrs with Mazzers that are pretty close to original size, but have not really done much more apart from cleaning. I kind of like the patina of age and dont want to over restore it.
Heres a few pics.......



I posted here at CS a while back with more pics etc. Happy to discuss anything about the machine if you like.
Regards,
Phil
