@CoyoteOldMan took the side panels and top off today which was a doddle. Left the rear panel on because it looked to have a black box attached so wasn’t game to move it around.
Pics as follows:

Helicopter view after top panel removed (hopefully this helps to put other pics in context)

Last lot…
Looking good tompoland ! Just keep an eye on those plastic Y connectors, as there’s a track record of them splitting with the Bianca. Lelit changed them to brass ones a couple of years ago.

I thought exactly the same thing.
I presume they are a higher spec than those on the Lelits but I would be spending the couple of bucks for SS.
It all looks good with a very compact build.
I am looking forward to seeing the innards of the Vostok.
Seeing Ryan’s rebuilds on his classic machines it is always impressive to see the space.
I know it is a trade off but I’m glad I own the kitchen and “The Studmistress” owns the Library. :)

MediumRoastSteam that’s a good point. Just ordered one. Thanks for the tip.
tompoland Thank you very much, Sir!
Interesting that there is only one diagonal brace. Clearly the side panels do enough of a reinforcement job that it’s enough (or possibly even ‘too much’).
This one posted 2 days ago in coffeesnobs, from a profitec, so it may be a common issue.
CoyoteOldMan you’re welcome. It’s certainly rigid enough with just the one cross brace.
Amberale I presume they are a higher spec than those on the Lelits
they look exactly the same :-)
just a generic plastic connector, most use them, mine has one,

Does anyone know the ID of the pipes so that the appropriately sized Y connector can be ordered?
The guy in the Coffeesnobs entry that Tom referred to stated ¼″(so 6mm)….can anyone confirm that?
¼ inch is correct. My brass connector arrived today but I’m waiting for a tiny pair of hands to walk in the door before I attempt to fit it. The access is too small for my big mitts.
Also, i just noticed that the original blue connector looks far more solid than the ones in photos that have failed (from other machines). So now I’m wondering if it’s even worthwhile to swap it out for brass. I may just keep the brass one as a back up.
Thanks for that information, Tom. 👍

Thats a good point. It may be better to keep the stainless steel connector in reserve until it is needed if the original part breaks down. Even if it does break down, also consult with the dealer and manufacturer first on whether to use that part or their replacement part in the interests of the warranty.
yeah, id leave be till needed, id say get some of the silicone tubing too for when the time comes as most the time, you see the connector and tubing degraded,

What size tubing would you used for the brass connection. It’s prob worth looking at it for mine in the future.
You’d think they would be metal the small fortune these machine cost haha
