I love diving deep into legacy machines, and this perhaps is the most legendary- hence my taking forever to make this video.
Thanks to all the groups out there making La Pavoni information accessible and widespread. Specifically, thank you to John Michael Hauck for his excellent videos on La Pavoni and the CAD files shown in this video. Check out his channel here for more nerdy details than I could fit in the video: @JohnMichaelHauck

Also, the modded out machine was provided by the incredible Tudor, who supplies a lot of these mods and will even retrofit your machine for you. He and Bong have contributed significantly to the advancement of these machines in the home context. Here is a link to his website! Highly recommend.

And here is the article discussing the modifications from Lever Fever:
