Sweet deal... would be a fantastic training/backup machine but timing is no good for us to jump on it.... in commercial use would only work in low volume 'cuz of brew boiler recovery time... unless you've also copper tubing wrapped the steam boiler pre-heating inlet water... then ridiculously SWEET deal! :)

Sweet deal indeed. If only you didn't need to move it quickly ;) I'd be all over this deal if I had the chance.

Mike;
No copper tubing wrap, all though that would be very easy to do. With agressive pid settings however, the boiler recovery time is pretty unnoticeable.

Hi Stephen;

I enlarged the photo. . What's the black box under the machine with red buttons. The PID? No... too small to be the pump... Do you have some photo's you can send me marek (at) marek (dot) com... warmer cover off so I can see the guts...

I assume you can crate, would need it shipped to Florida.

Thanks for you time... will try to talk myself into it after I see the photos.

The box is indeed the pid controllers for the brew and steam boiler. I'll move the cups and snap a picture this afternoon.

Trying to snag that GB/5 and Swift that's(well it looks like the GB/5 has already been sold) on ATX CL I see. ;)

Man that combo was an absolute steal at 4,750!! So were you the one who ended up snagging that machine Stephen? If so, nice score!

Hi, new to the chat

Is the machine still available. I'm serious and ready to buy. Where are you located?

Mark

No, but I was planning a trip down that way last week for other reasons and have a habit of always browsing the local CL forums specific to wherever place it is I may be heading to next... just in case!
