Hi There
New to coffee snobs, recently purchased an old Rancilio Z11 omicron 3grp which I am planning to spend a little time getting to know. Not sure if this "Extreme Machines" is the correct forum for this one.... but I guess it was an extreme machine once upon a time??
I am just about to start pulling this thing apart and have only been fiddling with it until now... I havent started it up yet. I was told it was set to run on 20amps but I understand the heating elements can be rewired to run on 7amps , looks reasonably straightforward once I took the side off the machine... any hints on this anyone? It looks as if I van simply disconnect a couple of elements slap on a 10 amp plug and see what happens????
I also need some advice on a pump and wiring up the pump... I currently have a bare cord coming out of the machine that I assume is some sort of volume switch to run the pump??
I understand there area few of you with these rancilios and i would love to hear from you especially if you have done a bit of a rebuild yourself?
Cheers Ian
