Ebay is your best option. When buying seals, DO NOT buy the paler blue seals which cost around $10-15. These are poor quality aftermarket seals which cause problems.
You should expect to pay around $25 for a genuine seal.
The portafilter spring you'll probably have to source second hand, many other springs from 58mm portafilters will fit but it's trial and error to find one that grabs the basket well. Otherwise, you can try to re-tension the current spring. Remove it then with pliers give the bent parts a slight bit more of a bend. This might improve it.

Sunbeam EM7000 Replacement Group Head Seal, shower screen and group head spring
Hi Fellow snobs,
I've bought myself a new PID/HX machine (more on that in a later thread) & so I want to give my Sunbeam the once over before selling.
I understand that I will not get much money for it but I'd prefer to sell it knowing I've at least fixed the issues I know about BUT....trying to find parts is very frustrating.
I can find the replacement group head shower screen at coffee parts warehouse.
But I'm struggling to find the seal which is falling apart or the spring that sits in the group head to hold the basket (or in my case, not hold the basket!).
Any hints, tips, place to source these spare parts?
Cheers all
Matt
