I have a M20 with a defective printed circuit board. Unable to replace the board I would like comments on replacing the existing electric units to make it into a rotary pump machine with automatic touch pads. Any help on ideas and particularly suppliers would be much appreciated. Note: This topic posted in CoffeeGeek website.

Re: Convert i M20 to Rotary machine
That looks like my La Cimbali M20 board (very poor quality photo) :
Replacement boards are still available from La Cimbali agents - but expect to pay many, many hundreds of dollars for one!!!
Someone elses board (costing just as much) could be used.... but the senders (flow meters for volume, water level sensor etc) would almost certainly have to be changed as well.... costing far more than the machine is worth....
The other, and only low price option, is to turn it into a semi automatic.... i.e. no volumetric flow control. That is what I will be doing (when not if) the computer board in mine fails.

Re: Convert i M20 to Rotary machine
