Help in potential restoration project
Juan Uribe
I found you guys on the HB forum. I currently own a Fiorenzato Bricoletta Volante paired with a Fiorenzato F64 grinder.
I recently came across an unbeatable deal for a Faema Compact C84/1...essentially free. I will likely pick it up, if nothing else to tinker around with it. However, for a restoration project I have many initial questions:
1) I cant seem to find a supplier that still carries parts for that machine. Any leads?
2) Is there another model that you guys are aware of that has essentially the same components, where parts are still available?
3) I contacted Faema and to my surprise, they DONT have the technical manual for a machine they produced!! Does any member have a technical diagram or parts list?
4) the unit does not have a traditional water spout, instead has something weird I havent seen before. Apparently it was common because upon googling, other models also have that feature.
Other than it turns on, the unit is in horrible condition and its safe to assume plenty of scale buildup and needs a complete rebuild.

https://sproparts.com/ has the parts explosions diagrams and stocks most all of the "consumable" parts. There sales practices are a little odd but great customer service otherwise

It is a cappuccino magic. I don't have a manual for it but would like one. More info here https://www.faema.ca/faema-cappuccino-magic-p/magic.htm. You can buy a traditional steam wand from sproparts.
