So yeah, more questions, nooo!
I procured an older EM6910 (or EM6900) last week for baskets mostly since my pre-Christmas purchase was lacking one. For the price, I thought it would have been a bonus if it worked anyway.
After reading a few posts about the collars and group handles, I'm not surprised the cheapy wasn't seating properly either.
What I found was that when the original group handle is used, it doesn't pour 30 & 60mls standard shots . They are short about 10ml & 20ml respectively and the machine has been reset to factory at least 2 times.
Using the "new" handle it pours the amounts correctly but is a really really bad fit. It also has a plastic insert.
Is this insert standard? [edit: I have found some online]. If so, how do you get it out? A small flathead screwdriver doesn't work, d'oh!
the *good one* is on the left. I have a suspicion the original owner removed it.
Does the insert have any full purpose?
When I take my good/usual group handle out after a shot, it retains quite a bit if water that dribbles out when placed on the drip tray.
I know I have the capacity to lengthen my shots either way.
BTW, sadly my $30 spare parts machine has bad corrosion under the shower screen. I haven't bothered seeing if it even runs in any capacity yet.
