OP, were you able to find a source for the drip plate and the La Pavoni brand for the front? Whatt about the porta-filter handle assembly? Was it included?
They still make machines like that and brand new they are horrendously expensive. Well over a grand.

Nope on the portafilter assembly, I bought a used cafeletta... and I have the plastic drip plate on there... eBay has the stainless drip plates but $35 plus shipping =no way.
No emblem for the front either.... all I've done is replace the sight glass and added the pressure gauge, but it's completely unnecessary once you learn how to use the machine.
I use a local roaster I found for my coffee www.bostoncommoncoffee.com, his roasts are lighter than most... really good stuff.
Eta, I also picked up another newer version locally that came with 2 portafilter assemblies . but is a complete mess, looks like it's never been cleaned... that was $75
