Did you find what you need?
This looks exactly like my old La Cara machine.
You might contact Thomas Cara Espresso on Pacific St.
in San Francisco and ask about parts.

I've been hunting for a lever machine for a long time now and it looks like craigslist paid off for me big time yesterday.
I picked up this Pavoni for a song and spent the evening polishing it up.
It's presently descaling, though it seems rather leaky so I'm guessing the seals will have to be replaced.
The best I can guess, this is an early 60's Europiccola, as it has only the "Minimo/Massimo" switch, though any help identifying the model/year would be greatly welcome.
Also, if anyone out there can point me to where I could get a complete set of replacement seals for it, I'd appreciate it a great deal.
Thanks in advance, I can't wait to join the ranks of the "lever-ites"!

I had no idea! This thread is a real eye-opener.

Everything from grounded exoskeletal fauna, to beautiful auto wrecks.

This comes from a La Pavoni Pro owner and mechanical engineer and just all around machine junky.


THANKS!

Hi there,
First post so here goes. This is my 1956 Gaggia Internazional 3 group lever gas heated beast. At the moment I have it in parts. The boiler has being descaled and refitted to the frame. All panel parts are at the platers.
