Rancilio Silvia Help

Is it worth fixing? If the boiler is split (leaking around the boiler badly enough to rust the bolts) it's possible it was frozen and both the group and boiler will need to be replaced. The fact that it shorts to ground makes me suspect the element, another potential victim of freezing damage. Was it sold as a

Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings

Than why are you bashing here without adding anything usefull? You're input is useless for the whole thread.

Travel grinder

That's very useful info, thanks! Maybe I can convince the wife to expand the budget. It could be my quiet grinder for the weekends. She doesn't mind the noisy DF64 during the week, because she needs to get up anyway!
