Good morning coffee heads. I found an Enrico of Italy CE-12 in a small town antique shop for a few bucks. I know this is not a high quality machine, but it was cheap and looked like fun to restore. It is in decent shape but missing the drip pan and worst of all the portafilter....

I was watching Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for a while as I knew I wanted to purchase and fix a broken espresso machine. I'd never worked on one before, but I have some knowledgeable friends and access to Google - what could go wrong!
