At the end of the day, for me this one's a keeper and will be used at home for our daily coffees, so I don't mind putting the time and $$ into it. If it was only for resale, I could have done it a lot cheaper and not bothered so much with half of the stuff I've done.... Sometimes I tend to get carried away a bit with my resto's ??? I'm also selling off the Cimbali 2 group, and a nice tax refund to pay for the expenses..... 😉 What an incredible journey. Thank you or sharing it thus far!

Koffee_Kosmo I feel that I own part of it for helping with your questions Its like helping you, to give this special Urania a new breath of life So I hope I am permitted to have imaginary coffees from your descriptions when posted Why do I feel young again 😃 KK

borat123 This afternoon I got busy cleaning up some of the ceramic bits. These pieces are the socket and plug for the power lead running along the rear cover to the light. Speaking of lights, I thought it was too much stuffing around with placing the ballast for the fluoro, so I returned it and picked up an incandescant light that comes already with a fitting and cable. Anyway here's the plugs after cleaning. The cockroaches certainly ate well, judging by the amount of crap I cleaned out of the back of the socket.... Check out the insulation - I think it's leather! :o One of the machine feet had the sole surviving rubber insert. It's convex on one side. I'll start looking for maybe a sink plug or similar, and cut to fit. If nothing turns up, maybe I'll just get some flat rubber sheet from Clark rubber and cut to size.

Koffee_Kosmo Those or similar rubber feet are available They are known as dome feet You can also get large grommet type feet and modify Solid rubber blocks can also be turned on a lathe However I would be getting rubberized cork and paint them black I have some industrial rubberized cork if you want some KK
borat123 Thanks KK. I also found these from an australian company. There should be something here; just needing the length cut to fit. http://www.chairtipsaustralia.com.au/round-internal-plastic-chair-tips.html Maybe Round Internal Chair Tips, or Rubber Chair Tips, cut to 37mm.
Koffee_Kosmo Rubber chair tips if diameter is available would be good Easy glides may also be suitable http://www.chairtipsaustralia.com.au/easy-glides.html KK
borat123 Who want's this one? 🙂 http://www.ebay.it/itm/MACCHINA-DA-CAFFE-FAEMA-A-GAS-DUE-GRUPPI-LEVA-PISTONE-/260868635247?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D3443422840414039166
Lacehim You might need to build that borat. You'll need another project, your nearly finished that one! Must be a record rebuild! Not that we are complaining.. it's been a great thread to watch. We might even have to organise a social event when you get it finished! 🙂
borat123 Hmmm, tempting, but my hands are pretty full right now, and the bank balance pretty low 😉 There's a Lambro (needs resto) going cheap as well...
borat123 I signed off on the artwork for the digital glass printing today. The colour will have more of a gold tint to it though..
Muscles WOW, amazing working and at lightning fast speed! I can't wait to see the before and after photos side by side. What grinder will you have on the bench next to this beauty?
borat123 Good question... Nothing yet. I might have to get something modern, in the meantime to tide me over whilst looking for one to resto. If I could find one (unlikely), without paying a ransom (even more unlikely), then one of these would be nice to make a matching pair.. [the one on the left] But more likely, I've been sniffing around for one of these, which I think is a good match too...
Koffee_Kosmo There is one of those grinders for sale in Italy But it will cost you an arm and a leg http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/MACINACAFFE-FAEMA-FAEMA-GRINDER-/180735851652?pt=Macchine_del_Caff%C3%A8&hash=item2a14b23c84
borat123 KK, yep, that one's been relisted a few times. 1500 euro's is a bit optimistic.... :o Unrestored I've seen them starting at around 300 euro's. 🙂
