Found this Gaggia at my local Value Village. Not the best shape but at least the pump makes sound and heating element makes it hot. It obviously needs work. But for $30 CAD I'd happily take it.

Damn, great price! If you buy it, tell us how it is, and the changes you will make.

The label at the bottom has a 07/2005 date. Is this the “real classic”?

Makes that moka pot with missing valve for $8 seem like a rip off!

Just reporting back – the pump and boiler work fine. It took a long time to prime the pump, probably because it was completely dried out. But eventually it worked.
The inside is relatively clean. But the shower screen and group head are totally a different story.
