Believe it or not there is a Vostok 4 group selling in Brisbane for…..$6000aud negotiable! I wonder if I could cut it in half and share it with TomP.

@"Amberale"#p30446 Really, I didn't think they ever made a 4 group, even as a special? 3 group is the most?

Dunno mate,it's a FB marketplace thing, sounds like a cafe closing. I figure just the groups would be worth $6k. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/aY9E47w.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/aY9E47w.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

The ad claims only one of its kind ever shipped out of Italy. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/8JySFqU.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/8JySFqU.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

@"Amberale"#p30450 I can believe it's one of a kind. Paolo confirmed they made a few in the beginning, but they make no 4 groups now.

@"Inspector"#p30466 It would want to be. She is 4' long, weighs 110kg dry and uses 6000w.

@"Amberale"#p30446 or we can go halves and take turns. I'll have it for the first 20 years, and then you have it for the next 20. Fair 'nuff?

@"Amberale"#p30450 That is one VERY special machine. Studmistress OK with this? I can see here buying another ten bulls if you get this one AA.

The thing is spotless and I notice in the first picture it’s a mirror panel at the bottom showing the group, that’s a nice machine alright

@"tompoland"#p30494 It is spectacular isn't it mate. I am sort of toying with the idea of a one group Vostok and even that might not fit in the kitchen. This would have to go in the shed/pool room but is lots cheaper than a one group. [URL=https://i.imgur.com/wwVXBCQ.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/wwVXBCQ.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

ACS Vostok

What about the shot light, does anyone use it?

DavecUK

Loonster Has anyone ordered the Vostok with non-mantis arms? Would this usability of the buttons?

I wouldn’t have thought so.

Loonster

The 3 buttons and the touchscreen lcd look like they may be blocked with a more traditional brew wand. Other than maintenance, I don’t think I will ever use the wand. So its a tough choice on finding what would be less annoying. A short wand that may get in the way, or a large wand that can can be moved out of the way?

Ask ACS to fit a different wand and take a photo, especially with them trying to press the buttons. I think it will be OK, as the valve body is a commercial one and pokes out a decent amount.

I opted for the spider wands. I could have went with the small steam wand and long brew wand, but didn’t want the Vostok to walk like an Egyptian.

Is the valve easily rotatable, so that a user can flip it around 180 and install something else?

No, have them do it in the factory, especially if you order powder coat, as you will damage the panel.

Hi, for the LSM Group used by Izzo for their machines, I can use the piston tool from LSM to renew the lip seal. Does anybody know whether the LSM Style Group used by ACS has the same piston holes and hole arrangement. Could I reuse the tool?

Most likely you can reuse the tool.

One thing still concerns me a bit. I am now used to a silent shot pull … does someone has a sound example from the rotary pumpe of the Vostok 🤔

Not yet…but soon. In the factory it’s hard to tell for sure as it’s a big open space, so it needs to be heard in a kitchen.

GCEMIDIL

😊cool. Does this mean you will soon have a Vostok in your kitchen - I guess you will post a YouTube 😊

I will have am Evo Leva in the kitchen, but as it’s component identical to the Vostock, the pump noise should be the same.

Just got final payment invoice.

Thought id post a photo of mine arrived last week

Looks beautiful 👍😊

It would be great and a big help for me if could make a YouTube which gives an impression about the noise level of the rotary pumpe 😊

DavecUK

Looks very nice, the black and steel mix is a really nice combo.

koffeeking

Yeh I’m really happy with it

OldGregg

GCEMIDIL It is really hard to discern what is loud over a video taken on a phone, welcome to the world of software compression. If I whisper directly into a microphone….it still sounds loud..

The pump is about the same level of noise as my sink faucet turned on. It runs for roughly a second and then is off the rest of the shot. The discharge of the three way valve is louder than the pump in my opinion.

Here is a video I had taken in the past -

I will try when I get time but you can hardly hear the pump it’s very quiet.

Thx 😊 …agree that it is really hard to record the right Impressionen 😊
