I actually received an extra heating element that is 125V as the one currently installed in the machine is 220V, so I surmise the original owner swapped it out with the 220V element at some point. It is in an extremelly well preserved state and just needs new seals. The one flaw I found was a small dent on the front of the boiler but it should not impede functionality

I had a Spanish contact mail it over to me.

A real little beauty, based on the serial number, was this manufactured in 1950?

Thanks for posting & sharing.

Now that the Urania is inside I could take a pic of most of the collection. I have three machines in various states of disassembly and the Faema Zodiaco downstairs in the basement, but hopefully the Lambro and P67 can get their chrome bits back so I can complete them too and make space for the Urania on the workbenches

It's the blurry one with the green and yellow towels towards the bottom of the pic

New entry with interesting history:
unrestored Faema Urania 2group first series from the famous "Kaffee Urania" at Vienna, unfortunately not existing anymore.

A few updates to my setup. Lambro is on a smart timer that turns on and turns off on my schedule. Monolith and Littlite are connected to a motion sensor and are set for 1 min 10 seconds that gives me time to weigh coffee, grind, prep the puck and tamp.

Are the 2-side 'wings' of your espresso table retractable?
Nice setup BTW.
