Hi all,

These are a few pictures of the restauration of a faema due i bought for 100 euros at a greek restaurant. The machine was in pretty good shape but i decided to strip down and completely overhaul. I insulated the boiler to reduce energy consumption and it works great....

Any one using a machine to shake out fines? I was thinking about making a fine mesh insert for a polisher i have to repurpose it and using #120 ss mesh screen. Waste of time?
