[marcfirojo]

so apparently i can start my thread here;


pretty sturdy group i would say, does the number (k90) say something to the experts ?




it seems to me pretty clean inside

[marcfirojo]

to make a long story short,

this is a 7 liter boiler, one group, manual lever machine
one resistance 650Watt
vapour and hot water taps
manometer, and pressostat, and 2 safety valves

yes, two valves, which BTW i converted into 1 valve and 1 cap to fill in the boiler

i cleaned, descaled, change seals and gaskets, new resistance, e voila !

it makes good coffee, and works perfect.

a bit big for my place, but i will try to survive with it

[marcfirojo]

so i have been able to get the original manual and exploded parts diagrams,

also removed the group and disassemble the piston, seals are in terrible shape, the bottom one, the shower one is as rigid as a stone

[marcfirojo]

removal...
