You’ve inspired me to have a go. Thanks! Found this chic vid explaining the process in real time. Love how the tune breaks as he gets the handle off! https://youtu.be/710BRFiVzQw

I rebuilt mine, they’re a doddle. Post some pics - the really old ones like mine have a screw in group that you need a tool to get out but otherwise they’re easy. All parts are readily available.
This dude outlines all the different models with instructions and flogs the bits too... http://www.francescoceccarelli.eu/index_eng.htm

Do you know what's wrong with it? There's really not a whole lot to them and they're super easy to take apart. No idea on any professionals who would look at it but I'd encourage giving it a go yourself. This should have you covered unless it has some specific issues: https://www.theespressoshop.co.uk/Mobile/en/La-Pavoni-Lever-Service-Kit-New-Group---45002/m-m-2256.aspx
Note: That kit is for the post-milennium machines. You'll need the old-group kit if it's from pre-2000.
