Yes, your assumption is correct, I did order the parts in the States.
The main reason being because Doug and Barbara at Orphanespresso are very knowledgeable and have a fabulous reputation for getting things done correctly.
Chert: Thanks.
The machine is presently in my garage, however I did take a couple of photgraphs I was not very happy with, so on a sunny day I will get the neighbour to give me a hand getting the machine in a sunny spot.
