Gday all,
I just inherited a used Boema 1 group from a friend at a local pub, who was going to throw it out due to a large repair quote. I made a few enquiries with him and he let me have it for the right price, $0 deposit and $0 repayments
.
Ive decided that rebuilding this would be a good project to keep me occupied during the summer months.
I remember FC mentioning in another post that older model Boemas (along with a lot of other old machines) being notorious coffee burners.
My questions are thus:
1. Can anybody identify this model and tell me roughly how old it is? (I cant seem to find the build date on the machine, but it looks fairly old).
2. If it is really old and falls into the notorious coffee burner category, can this over temperature be cured?
3. What are the buttons for on the side?
4. What is the middle knob on the front panel for? Is this an ancient volumetric dial?
5. Is it worth the effort to rebuild this machine?
Ive attached a few piccies for your perusal.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve.
