What year is this La Pavoni Europiccola?
Hi All,
Came across a Europiccola with (2) red rocker switches instead of the red with white (I and II) and the red with green switches. Any ideas as to when these might have been made. I did see on the heater element a date of 3/98 but I'm suspecting that this switch arrangement might be a "jury-rig" job.

looks like a steel base to me, and double switch, so... late seventies?
With blue, brown and green-yellow cable, this must be an european 220v Model... the ground wire is not attached, and i see exposed copper on the white wires... better to redo the whole wiring before using it (luckily, on old pavonis, the wiring is less complicated than the shoelace pattern on your left shoe...)
Heating element fixed with three screws, this would mean 1978 and younger... but the 1978 had a brass heating element base, so this might be a replacement, for voltage reasons maybe?
