    I think those gaskets are more than enough for that job! I was trying to figure it out how to use 2 rings instead of square plate and I can say that plate with 4 holes will hold everything in right place for assembling. I have done some research and there is no need for any glue or sealant as...

    hi folks, sorry it's been a while since my last post but i made huge progress in restoring the beast. So the whole frame arrived painted in silver and side panels in red. I have decided that red colour for the machine will be more appealing to any coffee shop. All the brass and metal pieces been...

    All main stainless steel bolts going to be replaced and no old o-ring left. Down to solenoid valves just wait and see what state they are, as far as I have noticed there was not much lime scale and dirt on them (mean inside). Tomorrow I will do final inspection once get them off the sonic...

    Hi Folks, I am in the middle of cleaning process and because I was trying to keep the costs down using 10% vinegar, salt and some tesco's descalers I think I have had f…ked the heads up. The homemade solution seems to be too strong for the chrome. Now can see bear brass...

    Main boiler opened!! Definitely new gasket needed:p screengrab Do you have any sugestions how much water to dilute 85% phosphoric acid to get fast working solution? I think 10% acid to 90% water is about right for that limescale.
  16. Gaggia Forum
    Is anybody know how to open that up without breaking it? Not sure if there is just a good fit or thread hidden underneath that limescale?

    Copper pipework and brass coupling stays. I am going to clean and polish every bit of them. So boiler has to come apart! Later in this week I will try to unscrew that doogy bolts. Regarding to the cost I will try to stay on the minimum price check as I can by replacing what has to be replace...
