Re: La Cimbali Dosatron M32 Expresso Machine - $2500 (North Haledon)

Al,

Thanks for the tips. This is a complete restoration everything has
been taken apart although I have found it impossible to remove the
fittings from the gicar's and that's about the only thing I didn't
disassemble. I'm documenting the restoration at HB

http://www.home-barista.com/espresso-machines/la-cimbali-m30-dosatron-restoration-t12146.html

Also, do I need or should I use any thread sealant on the boiler
fittings and all others? Is this a good practice or overly precautious
or even necessary?

Thank You

Mike

Oops, brainfart.
You have to remove the gicleurs to get the screens out, but you have
to put them back in without the screens to run the group. I keep a
couple of drilled-out ones for this purpose....al

Mike,
The hydraulic path can be confusing sometimes. In the first fire-up
stages of an older machine, particularly one that has been sitting,
it's a good idea to pull out the gicleurs and micron screens until
enough water is drawn through the group to tell the path is clean. If
this machine has an economizer on the boiler intake, that can also be
a source of blockage.
If I can be of assistance with parts, diagrams or advice, please ask.
Good luck....al
