Hmm, I'm going to guess someone was descaling either too often or for far too long with a solution too harmful for the metal. If it's plated on the inside, it's another reason not to use that boiler now, as you'll probably be flushing out plating residue for a long time.

Looks like i've stumbled across a dishonest eBayer.sorrentinacoffee wrote:hmm, never seen the taps at the top of the boiler black like that- something bad must have happened- also looks as if the machine has been well used for some years to get wear like that. Judging by the heat damage to the taps- the electrics will also be pretty cooked- probably best to rewire- and I wonder how the old brain is?
Hey Sorrentinacoffee, which part is the 'brain'? And how can I tell if it and the electrics are cooked?
Lamacchinadelcaffe.com Have been brilliant with quotes so far, so there is a chance I can salvage the situation ... hopefully :/

Your machine hasn't got a water level controller (brain) so you don't need to worry about that and from the pictures the wiring looks in pretty good condition.
