Hi all,
I have run into something rather unexpected here in the United States. I was offered a Boema 2 group lever machine from the late 60's to early 70's for pretty cheap. The Caveat is the machine is missing a few bits and bobs, notably the portafilters and one of the lever rods w/handle that screws onto the lever fork. I sent an email to Boema about this directly, but in tandem I would also like to ask around here if there is a suitable modern portafilter that can fit the group, and perhaps a resource on the missing rod + handle rather than making a replica. I know there are many seals from Astoria/CMA and others that fit the machine otherwise.
The biggest reason I am interested in this machine in the first place as it's the only one I have personally seen outside of Australia. I just hope it's not like the 3-ear Pavoni pf in terms of unobtanium.
