I purchased new a Victoria Arduino Athena I about 15 years ago. As a "home barista" it was part of the family for all those years until about one year ago when I mournfully proclaimed it a relic for want of replacement parts. For the few years prior to that Espresso Wrench in Tucson was able to scrape up/cobble together what I needed to keep going. But, as problems mounted and years since the collapse of VA went by, we finally reached the point where we gave up. I decided to buy a new machine, but then the brutality of the current economy hit too close to home and I have had to abandon the thought for now of a new multi-thousand-dollar machine. So, I've mustered a bit of enthousiasm to restart the search for replacement parts for my old machine. Can anybody out there help me, or is this a hopeless, Quixotic adventure? In advance, thanks for any help and guidance.
