Hello friends, I just got this machine (not arrived yet so the pics are not mine). It is a mexican Nacional Azteca, 1 group spring lever machine. It looks really solid (I have used one before), and the portafilter looks like some kind of E61 type. Well, the main question is, may...

I've had my Pro 800 for about a year now and overall it's been a great machine, however there is a minor issue with what appears to be the casting of the lever yoke or the body where it mounts on the bearings, such that some rubbing occurs inside the yoke. This has resulted in...

So far I have accidentally let slipped my bezzera strega lever twice already , either because I wasn't paying attention or my hands were wet .
Luckily my face was out of the way.

I just wanted to ask if anyone had similar accidents ?
Did your machine suffer any damage ?

I'm going to be taking a look at this machine today and wondering if there should be anything in particular I should be on the lookout for.

And wanted to get some help with identifying if the product is worn out or worth buying.
Please see the attach pic that shows the part of the machine that I am worried about.

Thank you in advance!

This is the second of two concurrent topic threads I'll be doing to account for the two machines that arrived today!

After two weeks in Portuguese customs I finally received my La Pavoni P67. I was specifically keeping an eye out for this model after missing one on sale a few...
