I have been picking at the edges of the Gaggia, trying to find bits and pieces that I can pull off without cleaning the Garage up to find the tools that i need, but unfortunatly it seems that i may have to bite the bullet and actually get off my arse and rationalise the good old Aussie boys shed..
Ill pony up for some new plastic handles when I can justify the cost..
meanwhile a Mate ran me up 2 new porta filter handles from New Guinea Kwila (to 80% still need some work with the Dremmel - god only knows where that is) Cleaned the Stainless trays drip, and over heater and mildly polished them.
I would appreciate some input on aesthetics..
The front side Panels are aluminium and have been painted with a Brown finish- ex Factory I can get a Panelbeater mate to match this, Mission Brown - describes it appropriatly, ? Should I try to keep it original or Go for broke and put a Fancy Paint job on it . FWIW I dont want to sell the Group, it will probably reside in my Garage, the Kids may want to sell it when I pass away.. The Other Option is to find a Current Gaggia Colour..
If I get time next week Ill hook the seperate under bench pump up to power and water and test it..
I will also get off my arse and take some pics with the Nikon and post them..
