Walking past a bunch of rubbsih out the front of an apartment complex, partially concealed by a smashed TV and a mouldy mattress I found this beauty. Given the location, the lack of group handle and a bit of crusty milk means shes shat her boiler or fried something.
Hmmm... Home she is carried and soon dismantled. Well all wiring is good, absolutely no sign of any leaks from boiler, pump or any other significant place.
The lugs on the group look like they would have out of the factory- edges arent rounded and the main seal itself is reasonable though itll be one of the first things replaced.
The pump is loud compared to my pavoni lever sweetheart (haha) so a little aluminium backed closed cell foam later and at least it doesnt sound like a hammer drill.
Everything works as it should. Amazing!
Better get the Super Jolly down as I havent made espresso at home for a while.
If anyone has a spare group handle and basket surplus to requirements and is in the inner-west of Sydney then we need to talk. Otherwise one of the sponsors gets my cash.
Stay tuned for crema shots...
