!!!SOLD!!! - FS: Rancilio MD50 commercial grade grinder

[jima]

Hi all,
Have had this for around 7 years used it a little when I first got it but its been in storage for +5 years or so. I cant tell you the condition of the burrs as I just dont know, but it seemed to grind OK for my Gaggia Classic. Had to be put away due to size, its a large commercial type unit not the best for a small kitchen.
Has 1 broken post where the hopper goes on, but the other 3 hold it on OK.

$220
Pickup Thornbury or Bulleen VIC

Nice grinder! I bought one of these second hand recently. Very easy to change burrs, found burrs cheap on ebay.

do you think the broken post could be replaced? would you take $150?

[jima]

Hi Kaffa,
The broken post has the old broken thread / screw still in the slot, so it would need to be removed before a replacement can be put in. I am not sure how difficult it is to do, but beyond my abilities. The hopper stays on fine with the 3 existing posts so never thought it was a major issue.
I was hoping to get a bit more than that so will hold off on your offer if thats OK.
Thanks, Jim

I might add that the post on my md50 is also broken and seems to have no effect on the hopper at all. Still rock solid.

thanks for the advice SuperDavid!...l wonder if broken posts are a common problem with the md50?
