Picked this up for only $100 bucks.

I've got the crazy idea of turning this into a 4grp lever. I think the boiler is compatible in every way, the lever group should just bolt onto it.

Picked up this Bezzera for free from the caretaker who was cleaning out a house while I was picking apples up the street! Beige I know, a powder coat can fix that. The group temps is low, the water dispenser and steamer work. It says its a Bezzera Dal 1901 on the tag, but I think that is just the Bezzera tag. No model is listed on the front tag, just voltage of 110, and amp 1200.

LOL! If you could lift the power plug to insert it into the enormous wall outlet, the machine would be ready almost instantly!
COOL! 132,000 watts!

Been there, done that. :lol:

Back on topic, when I was a newbie in 2010 researching my first real espresso machine, Jim Schulman pointed me toward some Bezzera models. I'll be interested to see what it's like after you service it.

I picked up a gently used Nuova Oscar at a garage sale of all places for $20.00 last week. I am in love.......

That's rad. I loved my Oscar very much.

What grinder have you paired with it?
