    just as a follow-up, thought Id let you know Sunbeam came good and I picked up my machine from repair today!!!  its working great, nightmare over.

    sort of talked myself into buying a Silvia though.....

    So what was the repair that was carried out ?

    Did they explain / provide any feedback ?

    I know the guys at Sparkies always attempt to give some feedback ( not always what we might recomend) but 1005 better than nothing and leaving the user in total darkness.

        I ended up taking it to OBriens at Seven Hills due to the fact theyre open on Saturdays. Took them a month to fix as I would assume as they would need to order the parts. They fixed the line to the espresso guage and also replaced the microswitches on both knobs (Steam & water) and tested the unit thoughoughly. Works like new now and sunbeam picked up the bill, still a nasty experience but Im glad to have it back. While it was away I was using the old Saeco Via Venezia with the portafilter mod and was producing some reasonable shots but its a messy, slow experience compared to the Sunbeam.

          Interesting... Knob switches....  As to the line to the gauge.. Would love to know more..

          But then again, this has been a long saga...  

          Glad your up and running again..

          Take care.

            Same problem. Replaced the blue seal and still leaking. Cut a ring out of an old milk carton and placed between the blue seal and the group head - fixed the problem. Rang Sunbeam - they told me that spacers are not / have never been available for the 6910 - only the 6900. She said shell hunt around for one and send to me if she can find one.

            I guess that Ill just keep making my plastic rings until the thing is totally buggered.

              Interesting as I and many others have been sent that Si ring...

              Maybe; that it was for the 6900, but it works on the 6910..

                Rubbish!

                There was no such thing as a silicon spacer until the 6910 was on the scene IIRC.
