I can't wait for my turn to see my olympia naked... does that sound a little perverted?

Mailed to the next tester in Slingerlands NY, insured for $205, postage $9.20, on August 6th. It could be taking a few extra days because of the slowdown as the regular carriers go on vacation and summer subs take over their routes. That is, if we give the USPS the benefit of the doubt. You saw in the "Craziest...." thread (over in Knockbox) how I, in my PO Box in Pennsylvania, received a letter addressed to someone in Canada with a California postmark

I have the insurance receipt, should it be required.

Timo

Picked up the pakcage this noon from the post office. They needed a signature in order to hand it over.
I'll get to see how she fits tonight! Maybe I should cover the kitchen in plastic to protect it from the sprays from channeling that will be revealed... <BG>

Maybe not! but a dish cloth handy would be of good use on the once in a hundred you do the same as I did.
Enjoy your testing!

Next results are in; works just fine on a rebadged, motorized machine. Lever purists do not exclusivity with this baby. The basket is held a tad tighter than my old 81 portafilter. Basket rattles around in mine, so I wrapped it in teflon tape. Starting to wear out, but fits nice and tight in the new naked baby. Fits the group head nice and tight.

And yes I do produce amazing channeling!

Got some fresh decaf espresso blend from our local Daily grind coming in tomorrow. I'd like to try that before I send it along.
Then I can hose down the kitchen.

BTW, this is a beautiful piece of work just the way it is!
PS Machine is an 81 Pasquini Livietta (Rebadged Olympia Maximatic)

Ya... I'm sure the portafilter will fit differently with Decaf in it...
Have fun...

My confusion!
Who gets it next? TUS172 / Bob is leaving town for a couple weeks. He wants in for the buy.
So, If he is next and If all else fails, please send it back to me!
Thanks!
Richard

Bob- I am pretty sure that Buka was referring to his old coffee and dosing that was producing "spray" shots!

Riiiight, I was only poking a bit of humor...
And the point of your post was to...?

I think I might be next... I would love to try it on my 78 and 91 Olympia's.
