Hello
Here is a restoration which is nearing its end, a really great machine that Mercurio.
I placed the pressostat under the drip tray order to set the heating without opening the machine.
Electrical wiring and approved safety valve.
Mounting of the v seal of the piston rod, and piston seals.
On this group the water inlet holes are placed above the seal when piston is down, and below the lower seal when the piston is up. Not thought to take more pictures but some holes too are drilled at the bottom of the piston for the bottom joint. And also at the top to improve passage of water under pressure inside of the lip and pushing it on the group’s shirt. After the photo I finally decided to put a w seal at the top, this way there is two lips oriented to the descent of the piston and I hope it is better for durability.
All the pictures of this post are of a friend. Arstistic vision of my work and the machine.
Thank you Fred
