I found a used espresso machine-
http://kansascity.craigslist.org/bfs/778871469.html, and followed up with the owner.
He basically said that he had it for a shop he was to open (he obtained from a friend who said it worked when he last used it), had a technician out to install it, and he said it was broken, so he sold him a new espresso machine. The only thing he knows, is that the plug is disconnected, but there.
I know very little about larger machines like this one, and since the asking price is a slight investment for me, does anyone who has experience working on machines have any clue what potential cost this might relate to, or is it just not worth it? I'd imagine that it could be from one small part is broken to the whole boiler or group head assembly needing replaced. I suppose the question I really am looking to have an idea on are the chances I can get parts for this, and be able to fix it period.
Thanks for your thoughts.
