No, but it appears on the left side of the screen under "menu for".
Oh my, did I mention that I am a PC-idiot?

Hello
Yep, its me. I couldnt send you them because my friends tries to get a replacement by Gaggia. He figured that putting the pics online wouldnt make him very much welcome at Gaggia. sorry for not getting in touch, but together with a lot of christmas-business I was a bit on the downswing emotionally during the last weeks.

Phew! (relief) :shock: For a while I really was worried that I got them and they are under a pile of work in my office :oops:
Reminds me on the coffee cup I once saw, saying:
"If you think my desk is messy, you should see my brain!" :lol:

No problem about the pictures. The offer is still standing for the future, too. If you - or anyone else here ! - need to get something scanned professionally, send it to me. We also can scan slides, even the negative ones...
Nice to have you "on board". This is a very nice place. Enjoy!
(it's a funny feeling writing to you in english, knowing that "wir auch deutsch sprechen könnten" :wink: )

Servus

There might follow pictures.
The two grinders I found on the scrap are nearly restored.
It was easy with the Rossi, who was sort of alive in the doser (lots of oven-spray got rid of the primitive cave-paintings) and has now to undergo a severe antistatic-treatment before I can use it.
The Cimbali MD Junior was given to a friend (who loves stainless steel) and was in a miserable state. Total re-wiring was needed and the axle/rotor assembly has to be machined over to get rid of the "Unwucht". Since the grinder has no internal structure nothing from the shell is straight and close-fitting. Lots of work have still to be done.
Everything will be photographed and I hope I can make a story out of it.
