They're sending you pictures from the factory floor? Very cool, keep posting.

Ditto. Lovely to see one of those beauties coming together!

That's just one of the joys of a hand made machine.

I was surprised. They typically don't share much as far as photos. I understand that they are pretty guarded about their process. I have seen several web posts from factory visits but nothing real detailed.

I think they are starting to relax a bit and share some of the workmanship they are doing. I think its great to know that I am getting a hand crafted machine that is built pretty much the same way it was 50 years ago.
Pretty cool.

I will post more as I receive.

Very nice!
Did you order directly from the factory since they're sending you pics? What is the battle weight when it is fully mounted? Seems like an ok footprint to me..
Bet the coffee will be as spectacular as the preliminary looks.
Best regards

I bought through Reiss at Londinium. He has made this whole deal pretty painless.

I think loaded for bear it's a hair over 100lbs
