Dr Gary, it's the espresso analogue to a '32 Ford coupe!

I'm glad you're enjoying it. Here's the other side, showing the indicator lights.

I take that back. This is the way-more-apt comparison, for all kinds of reasons.

Flipping through 243 pages of lever gallery I found plenty of Pavonis but didn't see this machine - may have just missed it.
I found it for a friend on Ebay, the seller from Spain says it's an Italcrem Minibar, made in Barcelona 1963 using Gaggia group parts. Interestingly the frame, piping, front panel and cup warmer tray seem almost identical to my Conti Empress.
Appreciate any pieces of wisdom this forum may hold.
I think it is a beauty and something really different between all the more common models - a quite uncommon machine, yet no problems on getting gaskets and spareparts. Condition seems great, but yet to be tested. We are wondering what logo is missing where the two holes are on the back panel...
