There's a chap here in NZ that rebuilds 40s & 50s Gaggia and Zeniths lever spring machines. From what i understand he can get all the parts he needs, admittedly a few of the parts he gets made. It should be possible to keep your lever machines going for quite a few years to come Danny, maybe you should buy up some of the rarer parts.


Mostly the same here, at present, anyway. I can get all the seals, elements etc and most bolt-on parts are standard - Sirai Pstats etc. Chrome groups aren't made any longer, so I have 5 or 6 groups. Modern pattern parts are rubbish for stuff like steam and water valves/wands etc - they are poorly made and don't last.
