I know nothing specific about this machine or seller. But $700???

$70?  I'm on it...Mrs. MMW will just have to deal (read:  I need a machine for the garage, or the doghouse)

Oh...wait...$700!?!  Pass.  Sitting here wondering which restaurant in Frisco would have such a beast though.

Don't get me wrong, BTW, if I had the space, time, and money...that thing would be pretty slick.  But it's a pretty good investment in both the space and the time aspect.

Yeah, I'd fix it up for display purposes only. You'd need a BIG hunk of counter space to display it properly.

Want me to go pick it up for you?  I'll be passing through Frisco this weekend. 

You can come visit it in Longview any time you like  ;D

Didn't you ever go to Mexico and dicker on the price of something.... my experience is that if people list it on Craigs list for 700 or best offer then they don't know the value of it and you can low-ball them with an offer... like $250 to see if they'll move.. which he did already by $200...  then toss him a hmmmm..... I'd really like to have it.... how about $300... then he goes to $400... and I send him $350... for a $14000 machine...  He's happy.. I'm happy ;D ;D

Nah - he may be happy with less than $700, but you'll still be cheap!  ;D

Funny, I showed it to Chris & she got excited about it. I had to tell her that I just don't need another machine and besides, I've got ~12 or so sitting around that I need to work on.

But I was shocked that she thought that machine looked cool, and even more surprised that she didn't go for my jugular for even looking at it. That's how I ended up with a Sonofresco, if you'll remember?

I'm actually looking for one of the old-style Italcrem/Futurmat/Visacrem spring powered lever machines (1 or 2 group), preferably with gas burners. These have the levers on the side of the groups, not in-line like current models.

If you see one let me know, OK.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this machine is going to stand in the way of "Widget" research for a while.  If I could only hijack that FedEx truck and hold the machine hostage until the "Widget" is released.  Should have thought of this sooner.  I could have sent Tex on a secret mission to MMWs place.  Oh well.....

Yep, me too.  Actually the box was not damaged at all.  And the packing company used about 100 cubic feet of foam rubber.  It took me 15 minutes to remove the foam from the box, just to find the machine  ;D ;D  Very nice packing job

I think I've changed my mind, I do want it. ;) Great looking machine Larry; glad it got there alright! If you have a good metal refinishing shop near you it shouldn't cost more than a couple hundred dollars to have it shining like a new penny. That's going to be a fun project and you'll have the coolest espresso machine. Everyone will be envious!  ;D

She hasn't seen it yet.

Does she even know you bought it? :angel: Should I call her and take the blame for pointing it out to you in the first place? ;)


BTW: I ordered the cookies from BJ's, so I don't need you to make a special trip for me. Thanks anyway!

Yes, she knew I bought it, do you think I'm nuts...? :angel: :angel:

Well, it's mostly apart.  Copper tubing and tank soaking.  Group heads already cleaned.  If I were going to be here this weekend I might have it running ;D

I'll have to order a few gaskets and I may re-wire it.  I think the wiring, switches and lamps are probably in the worse shape of all.  As long as the pump is good I should be good to go.

The tank was fairly clean inside.
