La Marzocco Linea Classic steam valve rebuild

Sometimes the threaded shaft of the valve is so worn that this is the cause of excessive play. Adding more washers in front of the knob won't work as you won't be able to get the cotter pin onto the shaft. Adding a thick brass washer that goes on the threaded shaft BEHIND the knob will do the trick

Current version of Redbird Espresso

I haven't had any Redbird offerings since it was sold. When Jeff owned it the coffees were amazing. The espresso and the Blue Jaguar were our go to coffees at Limestone.

2004 Ambex YM-2 setup problems

I've had the same issue with mine. It works, but you have to wiggle the "up" button a bit to get it to start counting up to the 450 degree limit and fire up the roaster. So I assume the contacts are dirty. I've always wondered if there is a way to replace or bypass this controller since it's not

Another source for coated burrs

I know a bunch of us in the past have used Pat Boyt (jpboyt) for electronics repairs and things like bad boards on Gicars. I spoke with him a few months ago regarding this and he also let me know he was now offering grinder burrs. Just before that we had purchased some red speed burrs for our K30 from
