by davestd on Thu Jan 26, 2012 12:15 pm here are the seller's pictures of my winter project, I' ve bought it near Florence last summer and quite slowly I'm restoring it; is a scarce Victoria Arduino Minivat and it was a nightmare since I had to make rebuild new heater element and new boiler top, since the original one was made by iron, incredible!!!
of course all nuts & bolts completely rusted... also I found in iron the curved part of the group's inlet water copper pipe: internal of the boiler was bricky!! However the machine is quite complete, with the two plastic logo complete (repainted by my beloved girfriend! 
as the brown part of the two weighty aluminum lateral panels ); please note that the black bakelite lever handle is from a gaggia model, old service "gift"... 
and the cups plexiglas is missing (quite normal on old machines).
