Re: Silvia steam valve squealing?
Rekindling this old thread; I finally got the parts I needed ordered and arrived, and overhauled the steam valve this afternoon. I COULD NOT believe how good the valve feels now! The knob almost spins its so free now, it seals off with the gentlest of pressure, the wand rotates smoothly and freely, the scales all gone from the guts, and importantly theres no sign of the squeal!
My camera accompanied me on the journey so once Ive got something together Ill put up a photo essay.
