ACS Vesuvius Evo Leva owner experience
Looking at the left side, I see some small damage to the finish where a side impact from the panel would hit it. I couldn't have caused that, so I don't know what to think. I will, as you suggested, send all of these pictures to ACS (through Maria?) and see what they say. {image} Matt

Hopper fed grinder
Thanks all. WLL has Ceado e6p on sale. Does anyone have specific knowledge of this grinder versus the others mentioned? 64mm platform is tempting (also super jolly). Thanks

Shot inconsistencies with SSP Cast LS
I had the pleasure of fixing the aforementioned DF64 that was aligned at chirp, but not at all aligned elsewhere.

ACS lever safety system
One of the things to remember Matt and I do cover it in a video and in some discussions on my forum. The safety system because of the way it operates does allow 2 types of shots, one starting at a pressure of 9 bar and one starting at a pressure of around 10.5 bar. I have my 1 and
