This one had daily use for about 10 years from 97-07, and then intermittent use till about 2012, then it’s lived in a holiday home that’s rented out so who knows… but it’s never even been descaled, let alone serviced!
Amazing that £25 worth of seals and a bit of time has turned it into basically factory new!

How about I buy one (2nd hand), then sell it on around August in a few years?

Absolutely love the la pavoni, with the lever and group head serviced it’s a joy to use! The steam wand with one hole works perfectly too, I thought the hole I drilled might be a little large but it seems to be fine and for 20p worth of investment it’s a great little hack!
Managed to sort the washers on the steam wand and get the pressure valve off to give it a good clean as well, during a coffee break today, last phase is the boiler but that’ll probably have to wait for Sunday night.
