Do you folks know where I can buy used Gaggia Portafilter handles so I can
make my own bottomless portafilter handle? I hate to mess with my current
one. Tks

Hmm, yes, I can see that.
I'm kind of tempted to try changing the diaphragm just on principle -
I prefer the idea of repairing a component rather than just swapping
it out. After all, if the kit's supplied ...

Thanks. However, I'm probably after enough stuff to make it more than
worthwhile paying my own postage - off the top of my head, I'm after
a bottomless PF (and would rather pay =A313 plus VAT to Jaguar than
=A327 or so to HappyDonkey) and some cleaning stuff, not to mention
assorted gaskets and showerscreens.
Problem is, the way I shop, I tend to pore through the catalogue for
hours, just working out all the things I 'need.' If Jaguar are happy to
sell to a cash customer, then that's the easiest all round - but if not
I'll be coming back to you. Hopefully we can sort something out
which doesn't put you to too much trouble
Regards
John

I'd found Happy Donkey and thought prices seemed generally reasonable,
but there are a couple of things I want that they don't seem to carry,
notably a p-stat diaphragm.
I've emailed Jaguar to see if they'll sell to me, but failing that I
might
well take you up on your offer to place an order for me - it's very
much appreciated.

John

To be honest I'd change the Pstat anyway (I've never had much luck
with diaphragm kits myself) and the Sirai is cheap enough, although
the machine in the trailer has some creative wiring to switch the two
elements in the machine, which results in more wires in the
Pstat...which would make the diaphragm much easier. Whats the Pstat -
I'll be no doubt ordering more stuff soon, so the postage would be
eaten to me, just forwarding in a jiffy bag to you.

I opened the page with several browsers, using the Gecko, KHTML, and
iCab rendering engines. It's not a valid page, but it's not that bad.
(I looked at the source code.) Which browser are you using?

Bill/John, My source is Jaguar espresso spares in Reading, but they
only sell to trade/account customers as far as I know. I can order
and get shipping direct to you, I believe. Shipping is a flat £6 last
time I looked, so if I could get you what you wanted it would be a
good idea to add a few bits to make the shipping more economical.
They sell everything from Puly caf cleaner to thermometers, frothing
jugs etc, presurestats and all things relating to commercial machines.
I believe that Gaggia domestic models can take the standard
commercial pf. I would be happy to place a bulk order for you both
and then forward two packages, but this would cost the initial
shipping split two ways (unless I can think of anything else I need)
plus onward shipping to each of you. Perhaps we could sort something
out? Alternatively, and if money is no object, each pf would be
£13.85 + £6 shipping + VAT on the total, if they will ship to each of
you directly. Let me know.

Danny ..thanks for your quick and comprehensive reply. :))
Sounds as if it's going to be a little complex to wind
around. I like the bit about adding to the order to
make the delivery charge worthwhile - would a pensioner
bus pass be helpful ..I can't quite manage a gummy, tooth
free 'innocent' shmile (still got my own) ..but I can give
a sort of naively helpless impression that fools about one
in a hundred..?! #;))
I'm guessing that your proposed two/three way shift adds
a fair bit to the complexity of your ordering and could
leave you a little exposed. To be honest with delivery
and vat, even a total at 23.33gbp seems 'cheap' at the
price - about the same as the USD equivalent, for once..
I'm wondering if Jaguar Espresso Spares do a separate
catalogue for 'private' customers ..some firms/warehouse
stockists do (ie verdecoffee.com et al) and at the same
trade prices ..although the temptation to load the price
prohibitively is just too tempting for others!
I'll think around it for a few days - but many thanks
indeed for your helpful suggestion(s).. :))

I spoke to them today. They are happy to ship to any country at cost.
Their website is setup for UK orders, but you can email an order for
US shipping and they will get back to you with shipping cost. They
will also take Paypal if convenient.

I've had a quick look on their site - can't see anything about
shipping apart from a flat rate (to the UK). Have apeek around and if
you can't find anything report back and I'll phone them tomorrow.

You can buy a Gaggia PF body for $31.50 from Espresso parts but you have to
cut the bottom out yourself and add a handle:

Great! Thank you... :))
I'm ashamed to say that I'd forgotten I have a build of
that..I'll go get the latest !Netsurf build later today
and try pinning it's tail against the Happy Donkey.. :))
Using !Fresco, (it's in my headers somewhere), I've only
ever found Happydonkey (and Play.com's DVD site that
rejects me right at the start for no known reason), that
stalls my sincere attentions.. ;))
..and I'm not at all sure why, when everything else that
I use around the world seems to work so well, including
some very secure sites that will reject at the slightest
sign of any problem...
...but thanks to all you helpful Alties who've made
suggestions. I've no doubt the answer, as always, will
be something really, really simple...

The site renders in a limited fashion in dillo-0.8.6,
though it doesn't appear possible to actually order
using that browser.
The page renders, and also appears functional, in
links-2.1.p21 which does https secure transactions,
limited javascript, is available for most operating
systems, and has a very small footprint, enabling it
to be used even on ancient hardware.
See http://links.twibright.com/features.php
Naturally it also works in Seamonkey-1.0.7.

??:))
..as I said, it doesn't work here. Just jams solid,
with not even an initial screen presentation. Just
hope it's not using oodles of whizz-bang flash graphics
and things such as 'authored' frames etc that many
others have discarded as not reaching a wider public.
(Also Firefox isn't the only w3 browser in use
throughout the World, just as the latest all-powerful
and expensively insecure M$oft Windows PC ain't the
only viable type of machine)!
Why, even the Versalab is reputed to use something
else under it's elegantly bespoke Espresso Apron.. ;))
hh, sort of! :))
