I have a 1958 Microcimbali which needs some restoration. The person who left it to me was a mentor who meant a Great Deal to me and I hope to get it working again. I know he took very good care of the things he had. As I understand he always drained it after using. And...
Hi
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.

Ok, I'm sure it didn't really kill it, but I definitely messed up. I was distracted when I was refilling the tank the other evening, and I didn't screw the boiler cap all the way on. I have it on a timer, so it goes on about 45 minutes before I usually get up. But that morning I...

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...
I have a 2 month old Quick Mill QM67. It's the newest model with the dual manometer. I've noticed some intermittent overheating of its steam boiler. This only seems to happen after using the steam or hot water wands. I've never noticed it during initial warm up.
