So, I had time last weekend to do some stuff.
I started to reconstruct the base of the machine from scrap aluminum rectangle tubes and a sheet of aluminum, it won't be too hard to do it. Unfortunately I do not have pics from that yet.

But I have some from the heating element:


Currently it is having a refreshing descaling bath

And for the curious ones from the inside of the boiler:

Does not look too good, but I guess some citric acid will solve this issue too.

And finally, it took approximately 4 hours to clean off the residue of nearly 20 years of hard coffee making. The result was a huge bucket of coffe colored liquid, I have rather not tasted it.

Sleep well Junior, until then.

Hey,

Unfortunately one of my indicator light was really damaged and burned and the plastic cap on the green one was broken. As I've seen original replacement parts they cost a lot. Can somebody confirm me that these indicator lights are 220v?

Were you able to get any further? If you decide it's beyond repair i would be interested in the heating element if its in decent shape...and if it will fit mine. I am restoring an m21 junior and need a heating element. Not sure if it would be a match...but I am curious.
