I have La Cimbali Max grinder and need to replace flat burrs. Does anybody know if Junior and Max burrs are identical ? If not, does anybody know where I can get burrs for my Max at reasonable price ? Thank You.

Not even close. The max burrs are unique in that they have no widely spaced burrs on the inside, since the conical part does the bean crushing and feeding.

The burrs are entirely different. Having been through the process of looking for spares - the only ones I am aware of are Cimbali originals, no aftermarket burrs available. Are you sure the flat burrs are at fault? If you need new conicals you might consider getting a new grinder, the spares (if you can get them) are VERY expensive.

If you are lucky Chris Coffee might be able to help you, when I contacted them last year they did not have them and also were unable to source them.
