I need to fix my La Pavoni espresso machine!!

Help! I am trying to find a shop or a person here in the Los Angeles area who can repair La Pavoni espresso machine. I figured fellow fine coffee drinkers might have some tips!

Thanks-
Monkwell

    I know it's an old thread, but: we just took our ten year old and utterly miserable La Pavoni to L.A. Electrical Service in Tarzana. We were ready to throw it out and buy a new one for $750+

    After a lot of chat with the (owner's wife?) about the beauty of the machine, and how it really needed a complete overhaul because of my own slovenliness in keeping it clean and dry, they did a FULL workover for about $250 that made it as good as or better than new. We'll get another ten years out of it, easily.

        Try A-Tech Espresso Repair. They used to be called Paul Gianotti Espresso Repair.

            I just called and they said they can't repair a La Pavoni machine.
            He said something about Fears or ABC...do you know anything about them?
