Hi all, I'm the proud owner of a very old but built like a tank Brugnetti Simona Top - a small HX machine that has long been discontinued in Australia.
I have a permanent search set up on eBay in case one turns up for parts - I'm worried the electrics may go one day.
For the first time in three years I was notified of not one, but two listings.
It looks like there is a new edition. Google doesn't reveal much, but there seem to be two models - a single boiler and a dual boiler (possibly HX?).
Details, even on Brugnetti's website are very sketchy, but styling and dimensions appear similar to the originals, and there is one big improvement - a 2L reservoir. The original has about 1L and it always runs dry at the most inconvenient moment (when it cuts out and ruins your shot).
I'm wondering if anyone (particularly site sponsors) has seen these in the flesh and can confirm dual boiler or HX on the Top Plus version.
Pricing seems to be in the $1400-$1600 range from the ebay listing and one other local website.

Here is my original

And the new model on eBay (not the Top Plus)
