A year ago mine just plumb wore out...someone recommended these guys:

For $175 they put in all new gaskets, new switches and completely overhauled it...works like new and I hope to get another 20 years out of it.
I was wondering if that was a possibility, but don't know anything about Saeco. It is one of the things I liked about Rancilio, these things are built to last and parts are available.
