!!!SOLD!!! - FS : 1 group commercial Franken-lever SYD pick-up

[ArnhemR]

A bargain for a machine that will pull god shots all day, anyone who has used a commercial spring lever knows the magic of the lucious coffee that oozes from them. Will pull much better shots than a fancy electronic machine that costs 4 times as much.

If that was anywhere within 4 hours drive of me I'd be on it. I love my 2 group Boema lever ... but a single group would be more practical for home use ... and at that price, ready to go, I think its a steal - holes in front panel and all.

WOW!!!!
What a fabulous opportunity for a lever-lover!

I have had many wonderful shots from an assortment of lever machines. IMO they make the best shots.
This one has had the 'Kofekitt treatment"...so is ready to go. AND it is only $1000!

Good luck with the sale (to some lucky b*stard).

Hi all , need to clear some bench space , this one started out as a 80's Italcrem 1 group lever machine that i ended up changing quite a bit, just using available parts etc that i had in the workshop, or felt like making . It's a big heavy machine, plumb in and out, like most commercial levers, it needs a good 45 mins - 1 hour to warm=up

Frame , boiler, plumbing , auto-fill box, all Italcrem , boiler and plumbing were dismantled, de-scaled and new gaskets/seals

Lever group is commercial Pavoni dipper , has inlet valve to only allow boiler water into group when lever raised - helps stop over-heating. Group has new spring, bearings, and seals , shower screen and group seal

Steam and hot water valves are off a Orchestrale Nota, but are common valves with easy to get parts

New Sirai pstat

Comes with 1 new Pavoni p/f with wood handle

Size = 490mm x 470mm x 700mm high

This is obviously a bitsa machine, front panel has holes where old valves were etc, It's not perfect , but makes great shots and i need to move it on

Price is $1000 , pick up only in Rozelle NSW. Happy for viewing etc
