Might have to get me one. Along with a fridgemate.

Just went to a store in wollongong (commerical kitchen supplies place) and asked about the marga mill (as they had all the pasta machines of the same brand) and they said that they could order it in.

The lady couldn't find the exact price but said from memory it'd be in the $60-70 bracket.

CTK,

Marga mills used to be around that price 2 years ago, not any more... That's below the current wholesale price direct from the importer.

The modification is very simple, I'll happily help anyone who has one, get the most out of their machine. For a 3 roller mill, they are incredible value.
P.S. they are in stock, but nearly sold out already - new stock won't be till the new year.

Cheers

So if they were worth $60-70 2 years ago what are they worth today?

Just got a Marga from Ross. Super quick delivery.

If I could work out how to open the adjustment dial cap, I could do the necessary modifications!
Hopefully some calls for help will be answered.

With a grain chute and bucket addition this should be a very good bit of kit.

You can't remove the cap as such, just tap through spindle from other end & it all comes out - if you want guidance, call me, 07 32877225.

cheers Ross

I take it back

I rang the supplier and they quoted me $121

My g/f has ordered me a Marga from Ross for Xmas last night

Looks like I'm on the way to all grain!

I reckon it'll be about 3-4 months before I'm fully set up - oh well ... patience is a virtue I suppose
