Depends if you can repair it yourself. I've not done it, but the Brewtus is pretty easy to work on and there is plenty of documentation about the pieces and how it works. In that case, I'd say $100-$300. I'd certainly pay that and repair it for amusement. But make sure it works first. if you need the controller or thermostat, that changes things. If need be, plug it into a non GFI outlet and test that it gets hot, makes steam, the pump pumps and refills the boiler. If it does all that, then it's worth it. If it doesn't work or you need to take it to a repair shop, probably worth nothing unless you have a connection to a repair tech you trust to do it correctly at a fair price. The tech has probably never seen a Brewtus before so they need to be competent, in my experience, not that easy to find. -- Ira -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
