Beautiful work. Did you remove the stainless face plate to remove the switches? I am trying to avoid this but I need to replace both my power and steam switches.
servus, I almost loved it except there is no instructions in between "before-after"... I have the same machine now replacing its heating element, could you explain how to clean the boiler, is it ok to soak the boiler in citric acid or what?
Hi! It looks like i own the exact same vbm but its completely done, i need a tank etc. can u suggest a website to buy those things? I wanna repair it myself, if i am able to and clean it. Like bringing it back to life.

This looks amazing! Did you document your process anywhere? Would you ever consider doing any upgrades, like installing an articulating steam wand? I was just gifted one of these in rough shape and have no idea where to start. Any resources you recommend? It's been hard finding this model in my google searches.Thanks!
I love those old lever e61's...
Great work! Do you know of any resource of how to adjust pressure and temperature? Trying to find resources but can't. Thanks!
Thanks! The pressure switch is no longer manufactured. It must be converted to a different type.

Hello! I use phosphoric acid or hydrochloric acid to clean the boiler and piping, and then neutralize the acid with alkali.😀
One question: is it worth putting a water softener in the tank?
It is worth disassembling and cleaning.
