I picked this up yesterday for $52.50. I figured I could get $50 at the scrap metal yard for it.
Seller claimed it worked 12 months or so ago when they pulled it out of a cafe. Looks to be in reasonable condition internally. It was originally brass I think, as inside panels are, but it has had a respray and I was told a rebuild. It is a 94 model.
I will wire it up on the weekend and see how it goes. I still have a few spares from a previous rebuild of a 2 group so should be able to get it going.
So I will see if I can get it working, if so it will be a descale, respray and replacement of gaskets and probably a sale, as a 3 group is a bit big. But it will give me something to do at night anyway.
