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. :roll: 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.

Regards
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!

Have fun... :wink:

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!

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