    Get in touch with Jetblack, a LeLit unit will fit.

    Just give the showerscreen and area under the gasket a good clean while youve got the shroud off, and should be fine.

    Re: Quaha/Lelit/Mokita/Nemox

    Hi,
    I have a cracked grouphead shroud on a Nemox Del Opera. Where can I get a new one? Will a Lelit or other fit? What else would I need besides a new gasket?

    Also, Im in the US, but have found no dependable sources for parts. If I have to order from down under so be it ... within reason.

    Thanks for any help.

    Pretty happy overall, Quaha Napoletana all up costing under $35, including machine purchase price!
    Id be more than happy with that!

    Glad to hear it all worked out well and trust youll enjoy the machine.

    I range the Lelit because its a good quality machine, and I would like
    people to have the opportunity to make good coffee at home with something that performs well and has proven reliability.

    Its not always about profits
    What a great philosophy! Its wonderful to have an opportunity to conduct business with sponsors who thinks like that!

    Best wishes, Russell
    I think our sponsors are people pleasers, and I for one get a real boost when someone notices then takes the time to make a comment like yours.  

    Thankyou Russell.  
    Anyway... back on topic, I managed to get the parts I needed from a local company in the wild, wild west. They stock spares for the Nemox Del Opera, which were identical to the items on my Napoletana (& no 3rd degree on where it was originally purchased!).

    Pretty happy overall, Quaha Napoletana all up costing under $35, including machine purchase price! Finally good quality coffee at work, Breville Cafe Roma will be in the bin tomorrow :P

    Re: Quaha/Lelit/Mokita/Nemox

    I spoke to the importer (AF), and he wasnt very sympathetic to my situation, fair enough. He did advise that there had been three designs for the shower screen arrangement, mine has the earliest, which is the version he never imported or sold.

    He suggested I speak to another non-sponsor who was the importer at the time, who so far has not answered my calls or responded to my emails.

    I plan to visit a local coffee machine seller/repairer to see if I can match up the parts with a different machine, which so far is looking positive. Otherwise I will be doing some panel beating...

    I certainly wouldnt advise against buying this machine new, from a reputable retailer. However I would suggest anyone planning on purchasing one 2nd hand make sure they know what they are buying, and be sure of the condition. That goes without saying for any machine, but is a little more important in this case.

    I will post any useful information I find on equivalent parts, and thanks to all those who have given their input to date.

    Perhaps I can shed a little light on this, though please understand at the outset, these are my personal opinions and those of Chris, and others who stock the Lelit may have a different outlook.

    I range the Lelit because its a good quality machine, and I would like
    people to have the opportunity to make good coffee at home with something that performs well and has proven reliability.

    Its not always about profits and those who try to be everything to everyone will eventually only upset themselves and others. The profit margin on the Lelit is very small. I sell the machine for $25.00 more than the importer charges. That $25 doesnt cover transport from Melbourne to Sydney, a $12.00 bag of coffee, backwash detergent, and training if required that I include with the machine price. Warranty repairs are my responsibility. If I werent entirely confident in the quality of the Lelit, I wouldnt and couldnt offer it. Ongoing sales of roasted coffee are really what its all about.

    As has been pointed out, the Lelit has been around under a number of various badges, and the previous importers no longer support those machines.

    The importer of the Lelit (AF) carries more than enough spare parts for the machines he sells. Hes not in the game of supplying spares for every machine thats ever been sold, and neither am I. I am able to get spare parts from him if required, and I do stock a few of the most likely spares that may be required.

    That way, my customers can rest assured that they will always have priority and that there will always be sufficient parts available. That goes for any machine I range and recommend.

    Hope that helps.

    I have no idea from where it was originally purchased.
    If you are lucky
    Get the serial number and see if it matches with a unit they or one of there distributors originally sold

    I picked up the machine (2001 model) from a 2nd hand shop for a very good price, so I have no idea from where it was originally purchased.  It clearly had not been cleaned recently (or maybe ever), and the only way to remove the shower screen was to sacrifice it all together, as the screw was well and truly stuck.

    IMO, Gregs tip about loosening the shower screen from new should be stressed to all new owners.

    No question this is a good machine, and I understand why several sponsors sell it.  However I wonder how the strange spare parts policy I have so far encountered could effect the re-sale value?  Its not as though this is a "throw away" machine, with care and maintenance I see no reason why it shouldnt last as long as a Silvia.  That is why I just presumed that basic (consumable) parts would be readily available.

    Live & learn...

    I am surprised... But then again not..

    I am aware that a few will only service if the equipment has been purchased from them.. But will still sell user replacement parts...

    Internals only to agents or other repairers due to issues with Electrical safety etc..

    Must admit.. Resale value of said machine would fall if ya can not get OEM parts or others to suit..

    Keep trying and best of luck...

    Indeed.

    Curious.

    An update for anyone interested; contacted the importer and was advised by email that group seals are available (to anyone), but all other spare parts are only available to customers who purchased the machine from him.
    Thats a very strange policy. I assume were talking about Mr A.F.?
