Oh, man, you have no idea... my parents snagged it on a whim at an estate sale for.....
$16!
Since then, I've done a full rebuild with an OE seal kit ($70). While opening the boiler I sheared 3 of the 6 bolts off, and a machine shop couldn't even get them out, so they drilled a full new set of bolt holes on the boiler (at a cost of $60). Since then, I've bought a double basket (
Elektra Microcasa a Leva - $20), and a super cheap-o 49mm tamp (another $15).
So yeah, all told, one HELL of a deal. I consider myself VERY lucky to have such a nice machine, hence the motivation to learn. I've got pleanty of experience on a Unic and a Slayer (in manual mode), but the lever is a whole other level.
