Hi,

I'm on my way upgrading from my old Silvia to a lever machine and my first choice is the Izzo Alex Leva (second in line is Londinium which has the same price here in Europe). I read that lever machines need more maintenance, change seals, lubricate - but while this routine is very well documented for the L1, I find almost no info for the Alex Leva. I found something for the Pompei but it seems like a lot more complicated, you need to make a tool to remove the piston head and issues/hard time putting it back again etc.

If you own an Alex Leva, did you do maintenance and where do you find/buy parts for it?

Thanks,
Joe
