You've seen there's another 2 group lever on the bay of evil?

It's in Vic. Would share the link but they make it hard via eBay.

Should've been clearer - it's hard via the eBay ipad app.

Nice find but the freight would be a killer from Vic.

I may well bid on this one as it is only a couple km from where I live, but suspect it will go for way more  than I can afford right now.
It is completely unknown as to whether it works or not, so might go cheaply. Then again, being in melbourne, lots of people are likely to be wanting a lever.

Gotta love that chancer offering $150 cash.

If anyone interstate wanted it , I could pick up and pack carefully for ego or similar to ship.

I am struggling here.

Should have looked at it yesterday, but didn't manage to organise.

So sight unseen, is it worth the potential divorce? Bear in mind I have 4 espresso machines already. One of which is a two group in bits, next to the motorbike in bits in the garage.

If anyone else wants it, happy to collect for them and prepare for shipping.

Depends on the state of the marriage... :-|

Not saying MY marriage is in trouble, but SOME marriages should never have happened in the first place.

Only bid in the LAST 3 sec with the best your willing to..


If ya loose, and that was ya best = no loss.  If ya win, it could be at a good price.


Bidding earlier shows you hand and the others will just jump in and bump up the price..


Two pages one with a live update and the other with you bid and waiting to hit the confirm bid...

Your a lucky man bf.  make sure we get some photos when you've picked it up.  Am might be interested how it compares to his machine.

Mind you, 15 years in storage... Might not be so lucky.  We will have to see!  Still a bargain for $600 I recon. :)

I am sure you have access to parts and drawings BUT if not feel free to drop me a line.


We can compare any differences and while I am happy to pull mine down to the bare bones, I have left the groups as is for the moment.


Would love to chat to another who has dropped the springs and serviced. I am sure that there is a trick or two that will make things easer but little steps when no assistance is close by.


So what model is it ?


No one has yet been able to identify and provide any documentation on mine... Most think a M21 but the guys in Italy say an M15.  But nothing in hard copy as per a user manual or other wise, with pictures...

Good to see ya back Timbo.

Bayswater currently has a gaping hole in the ozone layer above it.......seems roasting, roasting and more roasting till I'm about to turn monk brown myself ........we have been flat to the floor trying to break new records.

Will be pretty busy here till Thursday and then closed Friday - Sunday for the first time ever.......one of my customers is getting married and of course as a true measure of any mad keen coffee lover he certainly has his priorities right - invite your roaster to your wedding (nah, he is a great guy and a very special customer !).
