Yes, the two-group commercial Elektra lives in my dining room, plumbed-in and on its own 240v circuit, and my wife gets a latte in bed every morning, or else.

I rebuilt another one and gave it to my friend who was opening a shop, you can see it at Bennett Urban Farm in Old Town Hillsboro OR.

I picked up another two-group Elektra project and a single-group Elektra project, but have had no time to work on them, or on anything else for that matter. I quit my job, opened my own office, then a week later Covid hit, and its been nothing but work-survive-work since then. I'm hoping that 2023 will let me do things like rebuild espresso machines, restore and ride bikes, work on cars, go fishing and camping - jeez, its like the last 2.5 years disappeared.

If Sky ever opened Velocult II I'd rebuild one of the Elektras for him - but that ain't gonna happen :-(
