Well, I plugged it in and turned it on, used a VOM to check for voltage where there shouldn't be any, everything is fine. Machine works! Couple issues: hot water valve leaks when actuated, left group flows less than right group, brew pressure gauge reads 3 bar when not brewing (guessing gauge just failing to return to zero), and need to verify that autofill works. But otherwise seems okay. Haven't tried pulling any shots yet.
This is a 2000 Elektra commercial 2 group that I bought off CL for $200. Have $50 into it. Going to get it working - not a spit and polish restore, just working - and sell it to a friend who is a small commercial coffee roaster and is looking to start a cafe. I'll sell it to him for what I have in it, hopefully less than $500 when done. In return I hope to get an education in roasting.
