Hi all

I have possibility to make manufacture (laser cut) some Prestina boiler rings to replace too often broken aluminum.

Is there any interest by there ? The more we are the cheaper it is.

How much do you need ?

It should be around 70€ each, at this price how much pieces do you think you want ?

Pascal,

My Prestina does not have a separate boiler ring. Where does that fit on these machines that have it as a separate part? Can you post a photo, please?

Interesting. Mine's a different version without the ring. Here are the two halves of my boiler from the restoration thread. The back part is cast with the flange attached instead of a ring.

The ring and the boiler are the same only part that's right ? The ring is brass ? Welded on the copper boiler ?

It's been awhile since I've had it apart, but it looked like it was the same material, brazed together from three pieces, the back, the round part of the kettle, and the ring.
