The third and last machine from my most recent shipment is this La San Marco Tipo 75. I intentionally wanted a two group as I like using them in the winter and fall. Perhaps down the road I can fit in an Export version
. Initial state looks pretty promising on the outside. As a two group machine it has an additional steam valve and a cup tray valve compared to the 1 group. The only damage I can note is a small dent in the body panels on the top left of the machine when looking from the front. It was already present when I purchased the machine and did not occur during transit. The traffic cone orange panelling really sticks out but it has splotches of random paint on it. I am still debating whether to keep the panels original. The LSM 75 uses the same knobs and portafilters as my earlier LSM 6X machine except for the water inlet knob, which is a button rather than an actual tear drop knob.
