Was wondering if anyone here would know if the gas burner kit for Astoria Gloria/Rapallo could be used in a Rancilio S10...

I have been looking for a used propane lever for a long while and as you may know, it is not an easy task. However I did find a 110v Rancilio S10 Leva i can afford but the gas burner kit for that machines has to be imported from Italy and the list price is $850 while the Astoria is $500 and might be able to get it for a bit less...the question is would it work?

I would think all gas burner kits are similar in terms of parts used. Can someone enlightened me!

Thanks in advance!

As Rancilio still builds gas heated machines, I would them ask first.
But I know that so called universial gas kits are out there as well. e.g. https://www.espressomachinendoctor.de/ ... 31a00c6352

Espresso is simple, just not easy.
