Scottionline - Si mi prendi in giro una volta devi vegognarti tu...

I wrote a post lately about the Bellman CX-66 and posted a video of youtuber Scottionline.

I thought at first: " Strange... i do expect someone who collects the machines he collects would recognise a Bellman CX-66 when he buys it on eBay"

The phrasing of the beginning of the video (here) was fishy.

And this feeling i carried with me around for the next 2 days.

Something wasn't right.

The list of the videos of Scottionline can be found on one website called atomiccoffeemachine.com

This website was one reference when i started to look for information 10 years ago... and friendly enough the owner sent me scans of leaflets for free, and friendly accepted for me to share them.

I had no reason back then to be more carefull, even Jack Grieve of Sorrentinacoffee recommended it on his Flickr account as " the finest source for information":

Now, only the oldest among us will recall this page:

33 years ago!

It was obvious:

Funnily enough, in the comment section of the youtube videos, one can find Scottionline 'unbiased' comments:

Another problem with shiny machines is that they reflect!

... si me prendi in giro una seconda volta devo vegognarmi io che si sono ricascato.
