I recently purchased a Gaggia Gilda 1948 built in 1954. It is missing the complete porta basket. I believe it is 45mm. Anybody know where I can source one out?
I just did a search on amazon and they show a great list of parts for these machines. You might also want to contact a local metal fabrication shop that might be able to make one for you. I have had a lot of parts made that actually turned out even better than the original. E bay has one on auction too.
