I've been asked to bring this beautiful old lever machine back to life.
It's in France at the moment but should be arriving here within the next few days.
It looks in nice condition externally for a 50+ year old.
We haven't seen inside it yet but hopefully that'll be as clean as the outside.
It's currently wired for 110V so I'll definitely be converting to 230V with a new element and wiring.
Also, one of the levers is broken. I'll either fix that myself or take it to a metal shop if needed.
Orphan Espresso have rebuilt a few of these and even have a few service parts in stock.
I expect to be consulting Doug and Barb on this one
Here's a rear view complete with crest and Rexine upholstery...
