I am considering bidding for a vintage cimbali (photo attached) however, I noticed it has no filter holder for the coffee filter.  Can anyone help locate a replacement filter holder for this machine? I have checked with the sellar and he does not have the part.

do you have a diameter measurement of the gasket? ( outside diameter).. I have an older filter holder that i think was a cimbali....

And if you can measure the width of the two " notches" in the group head, and if they are shaped like this...

,O' on an angle or like this -O- 90 degrees  to the handle.

ack.. that's confusing let me try to draw it in windows paint program..

( wow.. That's a pretty damn good drawing for me.. I impressed myself..!  haha)

Thanks for your reply notaddicted, and yes excellent art work.
someone else bought the machine so we will just have to fix our La peppina.
and if you are like me, then I don't believe you are not addicted. I suspect you are in denial about your coffee addiction.
