If you ask us specific questions we will know what to answer. For instance if you want to know selling prices search Sold listings on eBay. The link you were given to Francesco's site can help you know what machine you have. His DIY (do it yourself) section shows many repairs.

It is important to know if this be a REAL copper and brass one, or one of the ones that La Pavoni plated to look like a copper and brass one.

Check the base with a magnet. In a real one it will not be magnetic because the base will be solid brass. Also check the flange to which the group is attached. On a real copper and brass one, the flange will be brass coloured, whilst the boiler darker copper coloured.
