Alternatives to this relay 65.23

It seems odd that there are 9 pins unless you have 3 changeover contacts being 9 pins but then in addition two contacts for the coil. Hard to tell from the photo. {image} The 3 in the 23 may be the 3 contact designation. Something like the relay in the link might be the best option if 3 changeover

Odyssey Argos owner experience

Talk me out of buying a Profitec Pro 800

I have been running the Pro 800 V1 since 2016 and would have no hesitation in recommending this machine. I moved up from a Giotto E61. It is extremely reliable and servicing is easy with no specialised tools required. I roast my own coffee and tend toward light to medium roasts and have no problem p...

Profitec Pro 800 piston & chamber issues

I have not had issues with seals drying up as you describe. At the 5 Min point in the video he mentions the grease is primarily to assist with the insertion of the piston assembly, during operation the water becomes part of the lubrication

Artisan sliders display configuration

Excellent, thank you MaKoMo. I would not have got to that point unless I had selected additional sliders. As I had selected 1 Fan & 4 Heater I ended up with side by side. I will need to reconfigure to the 2 Power slider and reassign the Button Types to activate the sliders accordingly
