"Professional" is the model name, the machine is for domestic use, not commercial.
This is a pre-millennium machine, early to mid 1990s.
Some of the distinguishing features used to age the machine is the red switch, tall boiler cap, protective plastic cover on the sight glass, and the non-removable steam wand; built before La Pavoni started using Teflon plastic group cylinder.
The group basket is 49 mm, rather than the newer 51mm used after 2000.
This La Pavoni comes with 49mm filter basket, one 49mm stainless steel tamper (not original, but better), and a stainless steel steaming pitcher.
These machines are built to last, parts still easy to find.

Stored dry for about one year.
Steam wand post (where it connects to boiler) is loose, the nut inside needs tightening, pressure escapes at this location, simple fix with the appropriate tool, but no service in our area, the only reason why we are selling.
Pictures show water spitting out (2nd to last pic) and steam billowing out of the leak (last pic), the machine has no problem whatsoever heating and creating pressure! Picture of pressure gauge shows that it is in working condition (3rd to last pic), when there is not a leak the pressure tops off at 1.
