EUROPICCOLA EN – July 1973 |
KEY FEATURES
The machine was produced in
July 1973 (engraved on heating element) and the serial number signed under the
base is 33976.
Apparently identical to the models produced from
1964 to 1972, in fact has the following differences:
• The serial number is no longer engraved on
the group, but printed under the base, the number that indicate the tens of
thousands changes the letter B with the number 3 (ie machines with serial numbers
greater than 9999 are numbered with the first letter A, those with serial more
than 19,999 with the letter B, those with serial above 29,999 with the number
3)
• The output of the shower becomes a piece in
its own right, separate from the straitjacket of brass screwed within the group
• The grid becomes steel with circular holes
and with a thickness less than the grid with square holes
• The logo sticker is not fixed but stuck with
two pins at the base of the machine
• The holder filter has a lower height and the
spout of the coffee output has holes opened
• filter baskets have a P engraved laterally.
Machines with these features were produced from
1971 to 1974.
