How to drain Quickmill Anita boiler..

Thanks for the tips. I bought my machine in March 08' and the plug I took off is certainly a drain plug. You can use an allen wrench to get it off but I didn't know this until I got it off

How to drain Quickmill Anita boiler..

Is there a way to get all the water out of the machine? I still see water in the plastic lines and also thinking there may be water trapped within the machine somewhere. Machine will be going up for sale and would like to get all the water out so it doesn't freeze. Freeze = VERY BAD!

How to drain Quickmill Anita boiler..

Ok so I just took a chance and pulled that round plug-that was in fact the drain plug. It looks as though I should put a new gasket on it. Does it have to be OEM or can I go to the hardware and pick one up? It's a green rubber gasket. The original may work

Need Mazzer Major electrical help (older model)

Thanks everyone. I figured out where everything goes except for the wire connections. Hopefully the correct schematic will turn up. It looks like the Super jolly schematic is a little different than what I have. Not sure if this would make a difference, but my Major is a Major Luigi which I believe ...

Need Mazzer Major electrical help (older model)

All, I want to put my doser back on the Major and didn't do a good job marking things when I took it apart 4 years ago. So...I need to know how the two wires connect inside the major that go to the grind-stop trigger(or whatever you call that thing)
