Because of the scarcity of this part, this is an exception to the site's "no buy or sell" threads policy. Please do not reply to this thread. Please email me if interested.
edit: The last call for these portafilters is June 15th.
edit:Machines it fits:
pre-millenium La Pavoni, Olympia 49mm machines including Cremina, Club and Maximatic, Elektra Micro casa a Leva

Is there interest in another group buy of 49mm bottomless Portafilters? They were originally designed for the Olympia models.
They have been known to fit most of the 49mm basket machines whether the handles swing right or left.
See HERE Page 8
I must order a minimum of ten pieces. Handles may be ordered with the pf's at extra cost.
edit: Oh yes, same price $110 shipped in Continental USA. Handles $20 extra. I will do PayPal at time of ordering.

I'm ignoring the "do not reply" request...with apologies to Richard, Dan. and y'all.
I received my PF from Richard a couple of weeks ago. It is beautiful, and weighs more than the OEM with spouts.
As reference, "My Newd" (as he calls it) cost exactly 1/6th of the total price I paid on Ebay for my Cremina! Still, I don't regret for 1 minute having this PF. It is truly state of the art. BTW, My OEM handle fits perfectly.
Oh yeah...both my Elektra and OEM Olympia double and single basket fit exactly the same as with the OEM PF. I added some aluminum tape and have a nice snug fit!

Note...I received no discount for mine. I write this strictly as a point of information.
Respectfully,

I'll add that it fits the Elektra Microcasa a Leva PERFECTLY and now that I have a handle (finally!) from parts guru (a Pavoni one at espressme's suggestion- and they DO ship to Canada!), it's just... fantastic.

Just a reminder that the last day for ordering will be June 15th.
Thanks to all!

The portafilters fit some 49mm Pump Machines too. Oly Maximatic and Coffee, Cofferxx and some of the Pasquinis.

Thanks All! I am sending invoices and should have the portafilters completed and shipping about the 22 of June.

Due to Klutzness, I may have shorted someone a handle. If so please PM me. Thanks again to all!

>> Thanks again to all! <<

And most of all, thanks to YOU, Richard!

The PF arrived last week (and I pried it out of the customs office's greedy hands yesterday)... oh what a gorgeous piece of hardware! Richard, I'm sure such kind of a perfectly polished finish couldn't possibly have been produced by a mere CNC machine shop - you applied some "finishing touches", didn't you?

It fits my 1972 Olympia Cremina like a charm - and I nearly got the fits today, watching that speckled mouse tail flowing down nicely into my morning cappuccino cup! Will have to put a mirror on the table next time for added viewing comfort & pleasure, hope it doesn't get speckled, too

THANK YOU Richard!

This is a beautifully machined bonus for any 49mm users out there. Save up your dollars if Richard offers these up again. The pictures don't do it justice. I can't wait to go naked with my Elektra!

Missed it by that much! That pf looks awesome. I hope these are offered again.
