    Do you still have this? Would you be willing to sell it?

    I know i'm dredging up ancient history but are there any sources for these naked portafilters still?

    Cool, do you think that you could do one for me and Ill pay you for it? Unfortunately I dont have a hole saw to do it myself.

    Thanks, I like it!

    It took me about 10 minutes to get through it with the hole saw, and I spent about half an hour polishing the edge up...

    Nice job Iconiq.

    It looks better than my naked I got from an online retailer!

    How long did you take?

    I own a sunbeam, and had been thinking about the mod for a while. I called sunbeam to see if they would sell me one, and they told me they dont sell to individuals, but asked my address. They they gave me the closest parts dealer, who sold me one for just over $80. I took to it with a 52mm hole saw, and cleaned the edges with my dremel, this is the result... Im really happy with it, and think it was well worth the money, and doing it myself gave me much more satisfaction than waisting a further $40 for a job not much better than my own...

    I dont mind paying $80 for one but by the looks of it, its going to be twice that.

    E-Gene,

    You would have to be lucky - very lucky.

    Only genuine Sunbeam PFs fit..... and until a unit fails (out of warranty) and the owner sells off the bits.... you wont get one from that source.

    For a while Sunbeam asked for just the base unit to be sent back if faulty.... and they sent a whole new unit. Some lucky people got a spare PF that way (even noticed a couple for sale)..... but that was some time ago....

    Might just have to be $100 for a new one..... or forget the idea. (By the way commercial machine naked PFs are about $80 for an after market - but not for a Sunbeam)

    If you dont care too much about the appearance being perfect, you could buy a second PF and take to it with a hole-saw. Its been done before...
