Parts for older LaPavonis??

[espressme]

Hi Folks,
Which supplier carries gasket sets and other parts for older ( Pre-Milleneum ) small 49mm basket Europiccolas?
Three position switch, high, off, low, 8 cup, Brown base.
I've made a few calls to the wrong places, and struck out.
Thanks
Richard

Ask for Bill, the parts guy.
I bought parts there for my Ambassador a few years ago; hopefully they still are carrying them.
Good luck!

Check with Will at Home Espresso repair in Seattle

http://www.espressorepair.com

He carries everything for LP - and ask about used parts- he has em'... though Will runs a laid back operation. I would call him off the number on the web site- They are usually busy serving espresso and working on machines- no fancy web sales dept....... so they can be a bit slow on the email response.... Willl is a great guy.

Will let me test-drive the LaPavoni Euro last week and I got great results on the second shot. He's got some grand looking historical machines around the shop, especially above the door.

His shop is an authorized repair place for many brands, including S/B. Prices are good. He has a roaster there as well and can sell you green coffee beans. Will calls himself a "cave man" when it comes to having a lot of electronics on the espresso machines and grinders. I like that.

Gentlemen,
I appreciate your comments. Today ( Sat.) I called "Home Espresso Repair"and was treated like royalty!
They have what I needed and are doing some checking for parts to another machine I'm restoring.
Thanks to you and H-B Forums!
Sincerely
Richard
