2nd series Faema Faemina (blue label) 220V. I've been running it off of a 110V circuit with a step-up/step-down converter ($99 on Amazon - less than the price of a set of 110V heating elements) with no problems at all. This is not a showpiece, but is a solid workhorse. The original base was chromed, but I polished the flaky chrome off. The drip tray and cover are brass, but you can see where they originally were chromed. There is pitting on the lever, and on the post cover. There is a chip on the outside of the on/off switch. The corrugated wrap on the boiler shows brass in places. So not a beauty-contest winner, but a reliable performer. I've replaced the heating elements and all the seals. I also replaced the wiring and the plug. The sight glass is clear. The spring is not rusted/corroded. Double and single baskets with original portafilter. All Bakelite fittings are original. Yummy shots! A steamin' demon!

$500, buyer pays actual shipping.
