We do not have the appropriate 220V electrical connection to safely test it, so I cannot make any representations regarding its current mechanical or electrical operating condition. It has been stored for an extended period and should be inspected and serviced by someone familiar with vintage commercial espresso equipment before attempting to operate it. Given its age, a buyer should anticipate that cleaning, seals, electrical work, plumbing work, or other restoration may be necessary. Cosmetically, it presents beautifully as a vintage piece and appears substantially complete based on what is visible. Please see photos for exact condition and components included. This would be an incredible machine for a Victoria Arduino collector, vintage espresso enthusiast, specialty coffee shop, restaurant, café, restoration project, or statement/display piece. The machine is extremely heavy and will require appropriate help/equipment for removal and transportation. Local pickup. Sold as-is and untested.
