that's what the website shows me right now (in the shopping cart after selecting):

2 GROUP KIT GAS

96.55

96.55



Subtotal: 96.55 € Tax( 0% ): 0 €

Total: 96.55 €

It offers me....Nothing. And contacting their support staff by email, they say that they don't have any gas kits for sale. Do you feel like trying to buy a kit for me? I'll gladly pay you. We both live in the bay area. I'll send you an PM.

I tried to look up the price by signing up and didn't get any price either. I suspect it might be because it's not linked to a client account, just guessing.

This lot may have the bits you after, but they do appear to be in the UK but have distributors in many other places..

did you get an access code?

I did get an access code. My guess is that you are grandfathered in as a user who doesn't need to go through GEEC as a distributor. New users get flagged as being located in the US and must go through GEEC to buy parts. . GEEC charges an arm and a leg. I bet that is the reason other companies like Orphan Espresso are getting tired of doing parts for these machines.

Oh! I'll check them out. I am perfectly happy doing a little hacking to make something fit but one of the reasons I jumped on my used Astoria in the first place was the availability (or purported availability) of off-the-shelf parts to do what I needed. I'll look into Fracino's parts and see what they have to offer but genuine CMA/Astoria parts would be plug-and-play for my machine.... I hope I make that work.
