A bit of lever action

[mp]

I just picked up my second Olympia Cremina! She gets here on Wednesday. Exciting, exciting, exciting.

If you don't mind me asking ... how much did she set you back and what type of shape is it in?

I see what you are doing.....   :help:

Do you... ?

Do you see this?

1.5 day old blend through the bottomless PF

Just got both of them done today. ;-)

It was less then the $1,350 Orphan asks for a restored one . I am having it shipped to me so I am not 100% on the condition. It looked pretty good in the pictures though. It will be a fun full rebuild project.

How many machines do you have now?

Did you just bring the PFs to a machine shop to have them chopped or did you do it yourself?

Seven when that one arrives. I have 1 semi-auto and 6 lever machines. I will actually have time to rebuild some of them after I get through with my finals. I have not worked on a machine since my Trimester started in May.

Sweet!

Took them both to a good quality machine shop, they did a great job.

I know it looks like jet spray hit the side of the cup from a spritzer, but it was from one of the early bubbles that formed at the beginning of the shot and eventually burst as it left the bottom of the basket causing a kind of low speed machine gun strafe.

[staylor]

This is something new for me, I've never seen it before. The bottomless lever creates a foam at the end of the shot which kind of hangs on to the bottom of the basket, pretty cool.

Whatever caused that look ... it looks very tasty!

I need that in my belly!

 

[Warrior372]

It does look like they did a top notch job on them! How do you like them so far? Have you gotten the lever PF 'burp' bubble yet?

Yeah ... never seen that either ... must be a lever thing.

I saw some of it....when the tears got too much I just turned it off.
