I did find a replacement for 90 dollars from Astoria USA directly. Gaskets and all. Machine is working like a champ and after tweeking the boiler temp, water height, pump pressure and changing to a new basket. Now it's my best experence with a machine to date. So much so I gave it a custom paint job to match my Ducati.... and my kitchenaide that matches my ducati ~ i'm a dork.
