Believe it or not there is a Vostok 4 group selling in Brisbane for…..$6000aud negotiable! I wonder if I could cut it in half and share it with TomP.

@"Amberale"#p30446 Really, I didn't think they ever made a 4 group, even as a special? 3 group is the most?

Dunno mate,it's a FB marketplace thing, sounds like a cafe closing. I figure just the groups would be worth $6k. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/aY9E47w.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/aY9E47w.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

The ad claims only one of its kind ever shipped out of Italy. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/8JySFqU.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/8JySFqU.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

@"Amberale"#p30450 I can believe it's one of a kind. Paolo confirmed they made a few in the beginning, but they make no 4 groups now.

@"Inspector"#p30466 It would want to be. She is 4' long, weighs 110kg dry and uses 6000w.

@"Amberale"#p30446 or we can go halves and take turns. I'll have it for the first 20 years, and then you have it for the next 20. Fair 'nuff?

@"Amberale"#p30450 That is one VERY special machine. Studmistress OK with this? I can see here buying another ten bulls if you get this one AA.

The thing is spotless and I notice in the first picture it’s a mirror panel at the bottom showing the group, that’s a nice machine alright

@"tompoland"#p30494 It is spectacular isn't it mate. I am sort of toying with the idea of a one group Vostok and even that might not fit in the kitchen. This would have to go in the shed/pool room but is lots cheaper than a one group. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/wwVXBCQ.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wwVXBCQ.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

ACS Vostok

Thats a very nice looking sideboard!

I am guessing that you are also referring to its contents but yes it is nice.
$200 on Market place from someone who was remodeling their house.
I have modified it to 645mm bench depth and put a solid steel frame on heavy duty castors underneath it.
That also gave me a 180mm deep cavity behind the lower half which now fits all the plumbing and electrical connections.

Just double checked and it is 665mm deep.

My Vostok made it to the front gate of my rural property today.

Unfortunately the BRAIN DEAD MORON employed as a courier saw the closed font gates and drove away rather than calling the mobile phone number as requested.

So, I have spent another hour on the phone with courier companies and have to wait at home all day tomorrow for the same misbegotten son of a camp follower to, hopefully, turn up with my machine.

Damn! Supplier delays at ACS have caused a delay on my shipment as well!

Amberale

OldGregg

The supplier delays I understand.
It takes longer for the custom paint and/or timber finishes.
However DHL and FastTrack are fkn useless.

They play their customers off against each other.
My personal problem is my rural setting on the edge of a major city.
These halfwits have usually never been off a major road let alone a rural property.
I would prefer an option to pick up from their depot but they do not offer this as an option.

Amberale

I could have easily driven to the airport on Monday afternoon and picked up this unit but, instead, I had to trust it to some one else.
Heavily edited and redacted.

Fingers crossed that you being out of the way means that they make it their first delivery tomorrow morning.

Amberale

The fkucers didn’t even load it onto a van but did not have the courtesy to call and advise me or even update their tracking info.
I stayed home all day, by the phone instead of getting some important farm stuff done.

Cuprajake

I had the same run around with my lr24 order

Took DHL 3 days of missed delivery, of these days my Mrs stayed in for the delivery!! Or lack of.

And mine was only coming from Birmingham about 4hrs away 🤣🤯

Amberale

I had to pull rank and the local manager was really pssed off but I picked it up today in time to set it up.
Now to read the manual and turn it on.
It is 830pm and I leave in 12 hours.

Amberale looks great and I see you went for:

A wise move…looks nice.

Amberale

Better pictures when I get back.

LMSC

Amberale Beautiful! 😍

First impressions, pictures, videos and a full review (after 3 months) please.

You are going to love it for sure!

alexcs

looks awesome mate, very jelly.

Dusk

Doesn’t sound like you have time to read the manual, what’s the worst that could happen!

Cuprajake

That’s a beautiful machine. Congratulations

I had to modify that sideboard from 510ish to 680ish depth.
It is six foot long and the Vostok still looks like a very big girl on it.

Amberale

Back in Black.

Amberale I wish I had the bench space! That said my memory is so bad i would never be able to use it as intended! Nice display as well. I have had a couple of Atoms over the years and more Arrarex Caravels than I care to remember! I still have an almost unused one in its original box!

Amberale

I love the “Four Candles” and don’t know if I first saw them on a LSM or on one of Gabor’s CT1 pressure kits.
Either way I love the look.
I can’t wait to put the black handles on and take off the timber trim for a photo shoot.
I think it will look awesome.

🤔🤔🤔😴

Yep, I’m getting in while I can remember what I am doing and before I think that pods are convenient and taste really good.
Oh, look at that budgie! :)

The Caravel was supposed to be a loaner for a friend who has become a bit estranged.
I love it but need to pass it on to some one who will use it.
