Thema: La Carimali Extra information? (manual lever machine)

Hello from Australia!

Apologies, I do not speak German. I got one of my German friends to create this profile for me. He thought it would be funny to give me this profile name

Down to business. I just bought a La Carimali Extra 2 group coffee machine from australian eBay. I am restoring it slowly and carefully. I can not find information on this machine anywhere on the Internet! I am wondering if anyone on this forum can help me out!

-Does anyone know when this machine was built? (No date on boiler)
-Does anyone know who stocks parts for this machine?
-Any information/manual/brochures exist for thsi machine?

I will attach some photos for you all to look at. Any information appreciated. Noone on the australian coffee forum has much of an idea.

Cheers!

Anyone?

Hello,
sorry I can't help you personnally, but I know some guys got a machine like yours.
Most of us get their spare parts - and restoration information sometimes- from www.espressoxxl.
Perhaps you posted your thread on the wrong sub-forum - the sub-forum "Reparatur und Wartung" is better, since most of our engineers are posting there regularly.
Good luck

Hello,

Thankyou for your reply!
Is it possible you can give me contact details of the guys who have the machine? Or even better, if you could take some photos of the machine and send them to me? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks for the parts website, I will try to post in the 'reparatur' section

Cheers,
Jesse.

Hello Jesse,
sorry I also can´t help you with any details to your La Carimali, exept that´s a nice old lever one.

You may also try the www.home-barista.com and the lever machines forum there.

Good luck,
Carsten
