Hi everyone,
For sale is an Elektra T1 in mint condition, it's a 2006 model, which I bought of ebay and played around with it to no end. It's been heavily modified and comes with loads of goodies:
- hand made (by Dave from HB) wooden handles for PFs and steam / hot water valves
- industrial (stainless steel coated) thermocouple on the boiler which replaces the original pressure switch. This means dead quiet operation and solid pressure in the boiler
- wire thermocouple mounted under the group head bell, which allows for constant temperature monitoring of brewing water (handy during extraction and when cooling down the group / HX)
- two PID controllers, mounted in a nice black, metal box. One shows the group TC temperature, the other controls the boiler pressure (via temperature)
- an SSR mounted inside the machine (with a thermal pad for increased heat radiation) which turns the heater on/off to keep the boiler pressure steady (works with a PID and the boiler TC)
- the pump has been removed from the machine and is now ready to be used outside, mounted under your kitchen tabletop etc.
- Synesso steam tip, with 4 holes (one plugged, so 3 available) + other custom made tips
- boiler insulation made from melamine foam, which has great thermal insulation capabilities
- slightly modified and rerouted cabling, added cable ties, cable sleeves etc. the internals tidied up a bit
The machine comes with two (original) PFs, one normal, one naked, various baskets and spare parts (gaskets, group jets etc.) It's been on for around a week around a month ago, brewing coffee and working flawlessly, cleaned properly before packing it for storage, polished and prepared for shipping.
Selling due to limited space, moving and not drinking espresso as much as I used to. I guarantee that this will once and for all treat your upgrade-itis:)
Price: 2000$ + shipping (machine is in the UK, would need to arrange a pallet delivery).
EDIT: please note that this is the European version of the machine and thus needs 230VAC supply.
Another BST rule is that you must provide a valid unobstructed email address in the listing or on your profile. Please revisit our BST rules (see #2) and edit your listing accordingly.
Your public email address is obstructed, and for many (including me) it would be difficult to decipher. The rules page specifies "unobstructed" email/contact info must be included.
Please - either revise your listing or revise your profile information to inculde an unobstructed email address.

I've had a few messages regarding this machine and realised I forgot to add the power supply spec (230VAC). Relevant info has now been added to the original post.
