Seal kits for La Peppina

[luca]

Hi guys,

I dont know if there are any other la peppina owners out there, but if they are, this thread will be of use.

Timo, a member of home-barista.com, is a massive lever machine fan and quite the engineer. He bought a few la peppinas and decided to completely refurbish them. Unfortunately, when you do this, you often find that the thirty year old seals will crack. For this reason, I have left mine alone for the moment. Anyhoo, Timo went on an epic quest for a complete seal kit, which involved him having to order bulk quantities of most of the parts. I think it must have cost him half as much as the machine itself! Anyhoo, rather than spending 85 zillion years sourcing all of the parts, I am just going to buy a complete set from Timo and have him post it from the US. If anyone else wants some and is in Melbourne, please get in touch with me and maybe we can split postage.




An old photo of one of my first shots with the machine, for those of you who have NFI what the hell a "La Peppina" is :P


Cheers,

Luca

Hey Luca, Did you end up with any spares?

Ive just paid for my Peppina, I imagine it will need some work if/when it arrives at Christmas!

I will nee seals no doubt.

I got two sets of everything, but I did it in case I screw anything up when re-installing and so that I can have a spare set if needed. Still havent gotten round to installing them.

If youd like the spare set, I could always put it in the package with the presso when it goes back up to you, or you could get yourself two sets direct from Timo - he has heaps of them and postage isnt that bad.

Cheers,

Luca
