ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva owner experience
that's on the actual front panel of the machine, that isn't user replaceable... it looks tiny though, might even be a powder coat defect, or the opening or closing of the panel, which must be pushed while holding the toggle down, never snapped shut. Is there a corresponding witness mark on the openi...

ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva owner experience
Taking the last photo first, that looks like a hexagonal (so it won't rotate) rivnut that was put into the steel with too much force on a misadjusted air tool. I have used the air tool to fit them before and you have to be careful with a different adjustment for thickness of metal and size of rivnut...

ACS lever safety system
One of the things to remember Matt and I do cover it in a video and in some discussions on my forum. The safety system because of the way it operates does allow 2 types of shots, one starting at a pressure of 9 bar and one starting at a pressure of around 10.5 bar. I have my 1 and

it shares the Vostok mainboard and firmware, the lightbulb is used to turn the group light on/off on the Vostock and on my Evo2, to turn the under machine LED lighting on or off. When I had my first prototype Evo it was built with a 7 year old group and scrap parts, I had to make temp recommendations

ACS lever safety system
I don't want to say too much because of copycatting, but he runs the water for a while to partly fill the group. The pump water debit is so fast that even with no portafilter, some water can back up in the bore under the piston. It's why when released, the piston moves initially rapidly in a approx ...

ACS waiting times
I assume you have the safety system, if so the piston and stainless bore sleeve are the original piston. The safety system has a modified piston for technical reasons. It would be good to know exactly how you put the dent in the case to other people don't make the same mistake

In fairness, unless the brew boiler is drained, then nothing should have happened really, so the no water connection "might" be a coincidence. the steam boiler elements won't even come on if empty (unless someone has modded someting)

Sealing boiler
It depends on the area to be sealed. There are liquid silicone exhaust gaskets that set to different shore hardnesses. You might try a bead on one face (flat or round as appropriate), let it harden and then fit the lid...after putting some holes for the bolts in the liquid gasket (if necessary). You...
