Hello CSers
I recently bought a Bezzera Galatea (2 I believe - twin gauges). The machine is three years old but has been in storage for the last year or two. The machine works fantastic except for the water wand.
When I open the tap a few drips come out and that's it. My understanding is that these machines (e61 heat exchange), the boiler pressure pushes the water out when the tap is opened? Or does this machine have a solenoid or similar?
I pulled the tap "plunger" out and there is no blockage from the tap body to wand, all looks clean. I thought maybe it's scaled up but took the mushroom off and looks very clean, refer below.

Any thoughts?
Another question is that there doesn't seam to be an anti vac valve or safety valve on top of the boiler. But when the machine is heating up you can hear what sounds like a anti vac valve closing. Pic below of top of boiler.

Loving the machine but the water wand has me stumped.
Cheers
