Kape17 Welcome to the forum. Lever spindle gaskets, (there are 2) are a standard part available from any Espresso parts supplier. Cam itself shouldn’t be worn, what makes you think it is?

The fluidotech gear pump magnet is again a standard part you can order, cheaper than getting it shipped from Italy. Your parts supplier may not even be charged for it for a pump of that vintage, as it was during the time when fluid o tech realised they had problems with some of the pump magnets in that year (incorrectly potted).

      DavecUK Thank you! I have been watching and enjoying your YouTube videos. I bought the machine used 3 weeks ago. The cam is too shiny (please see picture). Is this normal, need to be replace? Thanks!

          Kape17 I('m pretty sure that’s fine, the cam is cut to prevent the lever dropping because the PI chamber in the group is disabled.

              DavecUK Thanks Dave! I am sure I have many more questions.

                DavecUK This is interesting, i have a friend of mine with the same problem but he can’t find the magnetic rotor anywhere and a new pump it’s cost a lot.

                The problem is that he live in Thailand too but if there are some vendors that can sale only the rotor maybe i can pass the contact. Thanks.

                    DavecUK Hi Dave, do you have the part number for the magnet, so I can contact fluidotech here in the US?

                    Thanks, David

                        Thanks, for the opportunity to share my thoughts with others of a like kind. I was one of the lucky children my mother found it Okay to allow me to enjoy coffee when I was a young as 8 years.. Maybe she thought I would be a better schoolboy if I was initially stimulated with some caffeine. That was 65 years ago..And I have brewed, roasted and enjoying the coffee fruit.

                        I haven’t been careful, The amount of coffee equipment I purchased over the years and disposed of … in the effort to achieve the perfect cup…I’m ashamed now. Yet, it seems there is lately an enormous amount of new equipment is offered each year. What shall we do ? All these new toys.

                        It’s good to see that individuals are returning back to some simple pour-over and it’s simplicity. To achieve a terrific brew.

                        I hope I will be a good custodian from now on…

                        Kape17 I don’t, but trust me they will know exactly what you want. If you really can’t find the part number, I can do some digging, I have one, but I am not sure it has the original box, just not sure where it is off hand. Otherwise you can ask ACS directly and they will tell you.

                            DavecUK I will share in the forum if I find out the part number as well. Thank you

                              Hello, I have another question to fix another issue with my vintage Vesuvius.
                              My brew lever drops *just* enough after the low pressure 1st stage as it enters into the next, higher pressure phase. The lever drop is very small, just enough to disengage the button. If I babysit the lever by holding it up gently during the transition to the higher pressure phase it stays there. Thank you, David

                                Hi guys, just discovered where everyone had gone from the other site. I’ve been using a Cafelat Robot and a J-Max for the last couple of years, now thinking of upgrading to a Bianca and DF64P.

                                  MediumRoastSteam I saw the post from Kyle T, Bella Barista said they couldn’t replicate the issue on his returned item. I wouldn’t mind DF64 if that was better, as I’ve swayed back and forth many times and been unable to come to a conclusion.

                                    I’ve had my DF64 for almost 2 years now. I’ve changed thr burrs to Mazzers and done a few mods (changed the clump crusher) and a couple of 3d printed bits and I’m very happy with it.

                                      Forgot to mention that I’ve ordered a replacement dial sticker from BB last night too. Looking forward getting the zero point on the dial actually pointing at zero as well as kissing goodbye to the horrendous font from the first release lol
