Hi Folks  :-)

I'm selling my Rancilio MD-50 grinder.  
The hopper sets securely on the pegs but the interior finger guard (that screws down to fix the hopper) is gone.

Here's the work I've put into it:

  • It has brand new burrs
  • It has been pretty well cleaned (of course it's obviously been well-used)
  • It has been electrically simplified for 1-switch operation (all parts are retained and schematics are included, mod is reversable)
  • It comes with spares (new) doser lid and grounds catch tray
  • Portafilter fork has been removed, but I will re-install that if desired

Asking $225 plus $50 for packing and shipping anywhere in the lower 48  

Plenty more pics available upon request  :-)



EDIT - looks like this machine is going up on eBay.

Here's the doser - it sweeps pretty clean and drops much straighter than the Mazzer

And here's the lower burr in the body.  
Like I said, the burrs are brand new.

Update - item has been listed at ebay.  
I'd rather see a CG'er get it so if you're interested just contact me.
