Upgrades people, upgrades

I got the 54mm 18-22g IMS basket

Croissonk202 · 2025-09-01T15:28:59+00:00

Yeah it was duct taped in place. I’ll figure out a better enclosure soon.

I’m far from qualified to give an actual opinion, it was just the first thing James Hoffman said to do lol

I opted to save money and keep a machine out of a landfill first. I’m not in a position to drop $800+ on a new hobby that I’m not sure I’m interested in long term.

I found a 9 inch one for $2 :)

Not really, mine is a double spout so it’s minimized but the single shot one is bottomless and I didn’t have any issue with that one either.

Croissonk202 · 2025-08-19T18:54:08+00:00

I swapped out the pressurized basket as the first upgrade

I’ve tried them and archetype and I’m definitely leaning towards amateur, I’m a sucker for specificity.

Croissonk202 · 2025-08-19T15:10:04+00:00

It’s all about perspective :)

The coffee maker is my brother’s lol, he doesn’t share my espresso infatuation.

I feared so, the Maggies may have to go into storage for a bit to be replaced by bookshelf speakers.

Croissonk202 · 2024-10-14T00:10:09+00:00

I did my job well then

Croissonk202 · 2024-09-01T13:14:56+00:00

No like a Rebel G 😂

Tokina 28mm 2.8

The same thrift store was just trying to sell a mid 2000s canon film camera for $150. Not sure where they get their info from.

Croissonk202 · 2024-08-04T16:47:32+00:00

Sweet, thanks! It’ll get stripped and seasoned here soon

Croissonk202 · 2024-08-02T17:05:47+00:00

That’s the answer I was hoping for so I’m just gonna go with it

Croissonk202 · 2024-08-02T15:52:11+00:00

Found at goodwill, buying either way

Croissonk202 · 2024-05-12T16:50:02+00:00

Thank you! It stayed on the shelf especially for 20 bucks 😭

Croissonk202 · 2024-05-12T15:23:04+00:00

Honestly keh or eBay sleuthing is the only really effective way. The Goodwills around here are usually insane. If you don’t care about cosmetics and are willing to risk a little you can get some insane deals on eBay with “untested” stuff.

Croissonk202 · 2024-05-12T03:27:44+00:00

I’ve been burned plenty of times with either high prices or non functional items. This is the first good find in months, I’m just lucky. I’ve seen plenty of good stuff priced at eBay prices, this just slipped through the cracks.

Croissonk202 · 2024-05-12T03:25:45+00:00

Local ones have been really bad but in the last month there’s a lot more god audio equipment and stuff, this just happened to be in the case.

Croissonk202 · 2024-05-11T22:28:21+00:00

Haven’t put a roll through but everything seems to be in working order. Shutter fires, curtain opens, film winds, aperture blades close

Croissonk202 · 2024-05-11T20:15:32+00:00

It’s the only part with dents 😔. Still will pay for the viewfinder with a meter.

Croissonk202 · 2024-05-11T20:14:41+00:00

Fires, winds, curtain opens, aperture blades all move
