So I’ve joined the club for a least a temporary period of time. I got a 2lb Sonofresco from a small coffee shop owner for a pretty solid price.. He had upgraded to an Artisan 6 about a year ago, and was ready to get rid of his backup Sono’s. The unit lacked care and upkeep, but mainly needed some maintenance, and cleaning.. Thanks to all of the awesome information you guys have provided on the unit, I’ll be doing a DIY propane conversion on it soon, to save a few bucks for the other parts this thing will likely need. I’m a homeroaster with no large aspirations to sell too much coffee, but thought this was the perfect opportunity to get an awesome roaster at a cheap price, and I look forward to being able to hook friends up with coffee at a reasonable price. It’s been an adventure in the 36 hours I’ve had this roaster, just tearing it apart and seeing it’s condition, but I’m not afraid of the work required to get it in shape. I wonder what replacement parts it might need soon, so we’ll see if it stays a while, or if the cost will grow past my liking! I’ve waffled about 5 times already on this roaster, and was really ready to find it a new home soon, so it’s been quite the roller coaster ride, and we’ll see how it ends!
