everything put back together, first heat showed some leaks that were dealt with by tightening some fittings...the most difficult one was the steam hose to the steam valve connection as I had brazed a half circle to the 4mm pipe and brazing is clearly sumting else..

and we're back in business;

Looking at the picture reminds me that my GF needs to paint the one missing solar ray, she did repair the red a while ago but we both failed to notice the sun ray.

being satisfied all is well,today I changed the piston seals for the new EPDM seals. And I am changing over to home distilling water since the no hardness mineral water is no longer available in the supermarket.

What an absolute killer of a machine. I have the same model with a green front panel and the frosted glass. I think the Urania is as good as any other Faema model.
