Changing a rotary steam assy to a lever steam assy

#1: Post by **movnmik** » October 19th, 2009, 2:24 pm

I'm refurbishing a Cimbali M30 Dosatron and wondering if it is possible to change the steam assy from a knob style to a lever style?

Has anyone attempted this?

If you can bend, flair, and braze copper tubing there would be nothing limiting you from getting a steam control assembly from any other machine that you can make fit the opening on your panel.

The steam control levers from an T1/A3 Elektra's are not inexpensive.... sure are nice to use though.

I have been looking at some machines and it seems like La Spaziale has a couple of machines that have lever assemblies. Can anyone suggest other machines that I may be able to look at as a donor for this retrofit?

Thanks
