Thanks in advance

They are a regular fix on Fleabay Italy but it's one grinder I've never owned.

OE sold one recently as a pairing with a similar age quick mill machine. There's a thread abouth them somewhere here. I think there's a burr set that works with it as well.

all of those vintage quick mill grinders mount 43mm flat burrs, that are easily available from coffee machine repairers and also on some italian web sites
this is previous thread on them

Vintage quickmill domestic grinder

for what concerning performance, I found that they can grind fine to match pavoni levers requirements (I have two of these grinders)
as they have low power motors, they work with high rotation speed of the burrs and this cause sometimes a faint burnt taste in the coffee
moreover rpm is not perfectly constant during the grinding depending on how many grains are trapped by burrs (you can hear sound slightly changing from high to low) and this can produce slightly uneven particle size.
