Is it a pre or post millennium? Absolute fantastic machines.
Little upgrades worth considering are pressure gauge and single hole tip if you take milk. Don't even bother trying to steam milk with the standard 3 hole tip! I have a spare single hole tip if you need one.
Kalkhoff-
Post! Good tips, thanks. Would a pressure gauge serve a similar purpose to a thermometer, in terms of knowing when the machine is ready to pull a shot? Or would it be worth having both?
The single hole tip is really handy, I'll definitely be steaming milk for my partner and guests (once I'm proficient enough not to embarrass myself anyway). I'll send you a DM!

I managed to clear the dessicated coconut/limescale out and replaced a few seals. Just pulled my first ever espresso. Going to need some practice but 4.30pm on a Sunday probably isn't the best time to start chain drinking coffee.
Any tips from La Pavoni users for a complete beginner much appreciated!
