Hi all,
Thank you for your kind replies.
There is a Rancillio group on facebook that I found and someone there suggested putting a shim in the valve knob (cut a bit of tin from a coke can and roll it up and put in the shaft of the valve knob.). IT WORKED!!!!
I know it's a temporary fix but it's good for now.
I'll order new parts online and a spring too, other one is rusted and pieces were in the top housing of everything. So I guess that was the issue.
Thanks for everyone's help!
K-Man.

Rancilio Silvia v1? Steam Wand Knob - SA

Does the new style knob fit? I'd you can find someone with a newer post v3 Silvia you can pull the knob off and see if it fits the v1 D shaped profile. I understand both the v1/2 and v3-6 knobs both have a D shaped profile but not sure if the size is the same.
certainly pull the knob off first and try with vice grips or similar (carefully) to be sire its the fit up of the knob before buying another, as described above.
If the v3-6 doesn't fit, I'd think someone would've parted out an old Silvia at some stage and eBay might have such parts available.

K-Man, is the knob slipping on the shaft? Or is the shaft jammed? You could probably take the knob off and put multigrips on the shaft to work out which is the problem.Originally posted by K-Man View PostHi all,
I am looking for an Adelaide based person to be able to either suggest and or repair my Slivia.
If it is the shaft there is a little metal clip which holds the knob on, maybe that is missing or the knob worn? Would probably be cheap to buy, guessing well under $50 and do it yourself. Jammed shaft or wrecked tap is possibly best dealt with by someone else.

Rancilio Silvia v1? Steam Wand Knob - SA
Hi all,
I am looking for an Adelaide based person to be able to either suggest and or repair my Slivia.
She is an old girl and has a rusted bottom (standard) but now the Steam valve knob is slipping (D-Style) and can't use the stream want anymore due to unable to turn the knob to make steam.
Can somebody help?
