Good morning all. As discussed in other threads, I have ended up with a few machines in need of repair or good for parts, I'll be as upfront as possible with these machines, but both were bought second-hand, so I only know so much about them:
1: Breville BES820XL.
I have had this machine for just over 12 months. Cosmetically it is a bit rough, but in the time I have had it, I have regularly descaled and cleaned. There are scourer marks on the chassis in various places and some corrosion, but overall it presents as acceptable. Comes with all original accessories and an extra group handle. I also have a generic single wall, double shot basket and an extra group head seal. The only issue this machine is having is that it is no longer creating the required back pressure to pull a proper shot. I have included a video so you can see (and maybe diagnose) what it's doing. I deliberately put too fine-a grind in, so you could see that it is back flushing the water when it gets to a certain pressure. Hopefully someone with the know how can fix this issue quite cheap, if not, then there are plenty of spare parts to make this worthwhile. I am chasing $50 or nearest offer. Pickup is in Officer, Vic, or Dandenong Sth (business hours).
(My son in the background, try keeping a 3-year-old quiet for 25 seconds!!)

2: Sunbeam EM6900
Cosmetically in quite good condition, bought second-hand, got home and there is next to no steam pressure, could be hardware, could be software... What you see is what you get, no group handle and no group head seal, as I have salvaged these for use on my 7000 (to recoup some of the loss). Asking $50 or if someone wants to throw me a fair offer (not sure what it's worth to someone). Pickup same as above :-)
