2002 to 2004 are the best cases, at 2.5mm thick stainless steel.

It got reduced to 2.2mm in 2005

Sylvia steam wand mod, larger solenoid valve and modded OPV pressure. New seals throughout, and stainless steel dispersion plate and new boiler (Guess it's a 1300W boiler?)

I would say it's worth a minimum of £250 plus P&P

I'm quite sure the chassis are 1.5 and 1.2mm thought.

 

Thanks @ratty I'll probably put it on for less on here and I'm not looking to make money

I'd like it to go to someone who cares and can keep it going

Thanks again

Huh!

New boiler £45

New seals £10

New Thermostats £20

New dispersion plate £30

Reworked steam valve £20

Sylvia Steam wand £15

Total costs of your new parts £140

Cost of Classic ????

Not really sure what you mean about making money?

I understand.

Was looking at it from the view of a sometime refurbisher, as the parts I fit have to be charged otherwise I would be refurbishing to lose money rather than to totally improve the machine. I also don't charge for labour, just parts and initial cost of the machine.

Must say I have never bought a Classic for £60 though. I think I'm lucky if I can get one worth refurbishing for £150 nowadays!

So including your initial great value cost for the Classic and your new parts, it add up to £200, what you're asking for the machine?

Great buy for someone with them mods added.

I started doing these to understand how they work so won't be doing many more

And I love yours and others work to keep these products alive and kicking

I for one will recommend all of our refurbishers on this forum

Thanks @ratty

 

Yes my mistake.

Cases are 1.5 and 1.2mm!🙂

 

With the lockdown madness and a lot of people taking up new hobbies , I found the price quite high when I bought mine in January. I'd say £250 easy for yours

 

Are they really going for that much now? I should really get around to sorting mine out...
