dfk41 Right, I really want to move this. I have had the drip tray treated with Kurust then silver Hammerite so it is now presentable. The rest is in good condition and has been totally professionally overhauled. Here is an additional picture. Someone talk to me!
dfk41 Right, this machine stands me £312……I would rather it go to a forum member. The painted tray is irrelevant as the black plastic drip tray covers it. It has been completely overhauled and services by Espresso Solution o Glasgow, receipt available. Please some one buy it for £260!
nopapercup dfk41 That’s a ridiculous price! If you do sell it for £260 someone is getting a steal. Just keep it and enjoy it.
Harryporter23 Hey, I have just been sent this link. I am looking for a La Pavoni as my first machine. I don’t yet have all the money you are after but I hope you see this as me registering my interest. One question, do you have receipts/proof of the repairs?
Harryporter23 Thanks for confirming. I will keep you posted on funds, I appreciate this is well priced given the amount you have spent on it but if there is any flexibility it would be appreciated.
Harryporter23 dfk41 down near Bristol so will most certainly be a postage job. What is your email - might be better if we message via there Harry
dfk41 Harryporter23 When you have the funds matey, drop me a line on here and we can see what is what
DavecUK I’m very surprised that it didn’t sell 5 minutes after you reduced the price David. Absolute bargain…. I would imagine someone could buy it and sell it on at a profit weeks, or a year later.
Sham DavecUK I think the drip tray rust scared a few people, but that’s pretty standard with La Pavonis (bad design on their part…) and can be fixed (or just buy a new base for only £80 brand new). If you see rust on any other coffee machine I bet people would hesitate.
dfk41 Sham I do not know much about these machines. Are the bases all interchangeable? Is there a way of ageing the machine without taking it to bits? Is there a link available to somewhere that sells these bases please?
Sham dfk41 You can check the age by popping off the bottom (need security screwdrivers I think). Here they sell a black or chrome one. You can easily change them but just double check what model yours to check if new parts fit. There’s loads of guides on the internet as La Pavonis are very easy to take apart fully and reassemble.
Jlmartin I have had a pavoni and actually this is about the standard price for a rusty model. I know the user paid an extraordinary amount of money to have it done up but working is working unfortunately. Has the rust carried through underneath?
dfk41 Jlmartin Hiya Jim, can you explain to me how I can get to the underneath so as I can take a look to see if it has rusted all the way though? I have some photos of before it was painted and I am pretty sure it was just surface rust
DavecUK dfk41 Why not repost the photo of the base before you painted it with rust stop hammerite or whatever it was. It did look like just surface rust.
