Dunno, I sort of did it for the fun of it, I think I just about covered my costs when I sold it. I think blasting and powder coating of the frame and body was about £200, parts were probably £300, most of that was a new pump and motor, another £100 on sundry bits. Those LSM machines are still in production so parts are cheap and available. I paid about £350 for the non running machine from Hungary. That will probably be a lot more now. I have an account with LF Ricambi but if you need a washer or a seal you tend to have to buy 50 of them. If you pick something more rare or exotic then sourcing parts gets difficult snd there will be some bits you’ll have to adapt from other machines or manufacture yourself.

Nice. Most of the machines I’ve done were levers. The one in the pic of the pipe work is a La San Marco Model 80 with mechanical groups. It’s now in a nightclub in Jordan.
