Hi, picked up the Mac cup a few weeks ago thinking the hardest thing would be running a new water point in my kitchen to plumb it in. Was I wrong..
Machine had been sitting in storage for some time. After stripping down it was clear it needed some TLC. The only spots not covered in scale inside the boiler are where there is pitting and cracks in the heat exchanger tube. 😧
Not admiting defeat, after descaling I drilled out the old tube souced some 40 mm type a Copper tube (3mm wall) from work. Salvaged the brass ends and silver soldered it all back together.
