This special lady is our newly acquired 1950 Probat LG-5. A beauty found in UP-upstate New York and beautifully restored by our machine techs Thom and Tomas. It's been awesome to watch her come back to life. In new color.

Cast iron ribs to keep the coffee beans in motion, evenly. Thank you Probat. She can take the heat, and we can't wait to fire her up.
Belt for the motor, chain for the cooling tray.
