the boiler element came out with the help of an air ratchet- the element looks OK after the scale came off- we tested it and it worked fine- so I re-installed it- Looking at these images does anyone think I may have trouble down the track? Does it look like it still has some life?

Wow, did that ever clean up nicely! 8) Great job. I also love how simple the tubing is with very few extra bends.

Wow! I want my SAMA to look like this! Wonder when did they change the steam valve to aside, looks better in front!

Nice SAMA!

My sama is just like PV and unfortunately has direct water connect device that I wish mine to have.

The front steam valve looks away better but don't you have problem foaming 20oz or more milk with it? It looks so short.
