Formula Wega Mini Rebuild w/ Pictures
How goes the rebuild. I just started down the same road. I have the same machine, with a bust boiler and have started stripping it down. might see about brazing my boiler...or buy a new one...but that is painful. Anyway, good luck. Dave

Wega Single Group ID, and more.
Nice machine, I just picked up the same machine, not as much rust inside, but looks about the same on the outside. How goes the rebuild?

Autofill problem on Wega Mininova -> now nothing?
I actually thought about it...but after all those parts and cutting and copper work...Ok, it would still be cheaper...I just don't want to make Franken-machine out of this one. My LaPavoni has both auto top off and a manual fill and I love it. Dave

Cleaning a Nuova Simonelli Ellimatic boiler
I noticed the same thing. I decalcified and use only RO water and don't notice it any more. I did also take off my OPV water return because I didn't like that water returning to my water tank. If you want to do a complete drain pull the drain plug off the bottom...please make

Anyone recognise this Older La Pavoni?
I just picked up a single group of this machine. Still waiting to get the motor and pump...it is big, and parts will cost you first born, but it promises to be awesome! Good luck with diagrams...I have found nothing. I believe it is called a PUB VMT. If you buy it keep in touch we

Repairing a ULKA vibratory pump
First off, first time post here--but always lurking around CG or some espresso related site. My problem today is... ULKA pumps, how many wires. I just pulled apart a Gaggia Baby that I ebayed and noticed it had some backyard mechanics going on inside. Ugly connections, speaker wire spliced in, lose ...
