Elektra a Preganziol

#1: Post by **Lvx** » March 15th, 2011, 11:24 pm

Hi. last year I contacted Mario in Elektra to talk about "business".
I asked "hey: what about if I came down there in Preganziol?" ... "Why not... "

he said ...

Once there... surprise! lots of lovely machines!

a brass Peppina... some Caravels

some other Peppinas

one ultra-rare La Tarvisium (before the brand Elektra)

2 more rarities : on the left a mix between the Microcasa and the Enrico of Italy; on the right one Microcasa with an oversized piston...

So... what do you think? Was that the "espressoleverlandia" or not?

Ciao a tutti dall'Italia!!!

Impressive. What's the commercial 2 group behind (in front of) the beautiful La Tarvisium?

Hey, Lucio! Nice post!

The group at MCAL seems like the one the old Bezzera Club has, no?

The La Tarvisium is so nice, seems to have smaller diameter piston chamber, but tall, so the spring can be not so strong but it has to keep the long travel of the lever to draw the right volume...

And a brass Peppina... That would be a dream, no bad pitting corrosion!

Márcio.

I want to make love to those machines!!! At least hug them and caress them.

Fabulous post, Lucio. You probably have some other things people may want to see.

How is your book going?

It's the "Aletta". Lovely!

Sorry, I do not know anything about Bezzera

Brass is better

I understand you... There is something "erotic" in those machines.
