Posted Mon Dec 10, 2012, 9:38am Subject: Rusty base in my Rancilio Silvia
After 3 years of heavy use base of my Rancilio Silvia has started to rust! I am considering refinishing of replacing the base. Base is listed as A-19 ( part#10880150) in the part guide below, but I could not find any parts retailer that has it in stock. Click Here (espressocare.com)
Any suggestions? What do you guys think? I am pretty upset at Rancilio. For this much money they made regular steel parts while advertising stainless steel machine....

Rust is not too bad yet... the paint is peeling off and rust is visible and disgusting, but not structurally compromising. Regular paint probably would not hold for long, but powder coating could be an option if I can find somebody to do it.. I wonder how much that would cost though, and whether finding a new base is a cheaper option
