I have a chance to purchase a Laranzato ECCO 2-group machine that, according to the seller, needs reconditioning. I never heard of Laranzato before but I checked out their website and they do make some really beautiful machines. Ever since getting my first espresso machine last summer, a Starbucks Barista, I have been enthralled by the espresso world and am always looking for cheap, used machines that I can play around with and fix-up or recondition (I love to tinker!). What do you guys think of this deal and in Laranzato in general? I am afraid I may be biting off more than I can chew, so to speak, but then again it's only $100?? What to do?
Here's some pics: Can anyone identify what exact model this is and approx how old it may be?

UGG - Just found out that the heater element is 5,000W and runs on 220V/21A! Plugging that in would blow my house up! Oh well guess it won't be coming home with me afterall.
