So I got a Cremina (to borrow the wording of the wise). Some work needed, including a leak at the base of the sight tube. I tried to follow very carefully the instructions I found here to dislodge the sight tube (planning to change all seals and gaskets).
I recently came into possession of a very nice Zacconi Rivera baby Lusso made of brass and stainless. The previous owner I purchased it from stated that it needed a new heating element and power cord, I planned on using a generic 14ga power cord but I'm having issues finding a...

New to the forum and in desperate need of help! I have a trusty old cimbali junior d which has served me well over the years.
