New to forum and need advise. I have a 10 year old Elektra Cappuccina machine that is starting to misbehave. I performed some general maintenance on it (i.e. replaced the group gasket and the showerscreen) but it doesnt seal properly under pressure most of the time because the group head is corroded on the inside (especially the rails the filter basket runs along when you twist the handle to secure). The portafilter isnt properly seated inside once tightened... The machine makes a pretty good shot when it works, quality wise it isnt bad (has a brass boiler, copper tubing, etc). Can the group head be replaced? So far I havent had any luck sourcing one. If not, can it be fixed, or is it time to invest in a new machine? I could run out and purchase a new Sylvia or similar but the Elektra was a wedding present so I would like to salvage it if possible. The group head is 8cmx8cmx4cm high. Photos below.
