Free machine [Rocket : CELLINI 2009]

Went to pickup a broken espresso machine this morning.

Turns out, it's not so much an espresso machine as box of espresso parts. Apparently the boiler heating element is toast and everything else "works".

Do I strip it for parts for a Franken-build I'm working on or restore to its former glory?

Project Investment to date:

30 minutes of time

1/8 tank of gas

$0.00USD

Edit : I guess I should have prefaced, I have a few working machines already. This Rocket would not be a daily driver, it would likely be gifted to a friend. My everyday machine is a stainless double boiler I built from the ground up and I have a restored Ascaso Steel in my guest house. Currently working on a custom build, open chassis double boiler showpiece. Not too challenged in rebuilding this Rocket, but curious what others would do with it given its tough condition. This is just a hobby
