IMO you’d be mad to pass up on the chance to own a Mazzer - it’s a grinder for life and parts are always going to be available. You could do the doserless mod that @nefarious has done or there’s a commercial kit available.
@nefarious photos of the internal chute. Tbh I don’t think either of these are at all necessary, though it would be trivial to attach a little piece of wire mesh to the hole you’ve cut. Would love to see if you can source a backplate though, that would look sweet on your machine.

Ah, interesting! I think I’ll probably leave it as I imagine it’ll make clearing that little bit out harder, and I’m quite particular about getting no retention (fastidious use of a blower to get all grounds through the machine).
Fortunately the back plate is a lot more affordable than the funnel, so I may treat myself.
But it might also be fun to try and make one out of copper plate.

& @Jung, thanks for the info... That Gumtree one is ten years old and hasn't been used for six of those... They're happy to listen to offers as well so I could probably bag it for next to nothing...
But... My OH has offered to buy me a brand new grinder so I'm now a bit torn... The guy who tried to fix my old one made the very sensible suggestion that I should buy another Vario because then I'll have some spares in the event of etc... He doesn't sell them BTW, so he ain't trying to upsell me, my OH used to teach his kid so we're all mates...
I'll need to have a think over the weekend... Use case says get the knackered old Mazzer as I'll only be pulling a handful of shots a week... But shiny new toys, etc... 🤔🤪
