    Thanks for the inquiries so far. I am about to take some photos and post them here soon.

    Re selling separately: I would prefer not to spend 2 hours unmounting the PID if I can avoid it however it I get an offer for the Silvia without PID and someone else wants the PID, then possibly.

    Incidentally, I cannot over emphasise (cant spell either) how much better the SIlvia is with the PID. It is also really useful for milk frothing as it has a digital temperature display. I think it really makes the Silvia a great machine.

    Anyway, I go get my camera now...

    ps: The "avatar" espresso shot is from the Silvia

    Hmmm, token post to get round the "must have non zero post count to PM" restriction :-/\/

    Anyway, PM on the way, apologies to everyone else for the noise...

    cheers

    Hi Paul,

    Would you consider selling the PIDkit separately? I currently have a Silvia and want to stick with it but the PIDkit is a welcome addition. I plan on buying one from Jim but your mod with the timer seems to be hard to pass up. Im in Sydney by the way.

    !! SOLD !!-Rancilio Silvia 4 months old with PID

    I hate upgrade-itis, but a visit today to Di Bartolis got me itchin. Renzo has been showing me the Minore 2 and I am tempted, so now I am offering up my Silvia to a new home:

    This girl was only acquired late November last year from Di Bartoli in Sydney. I have fitted a superb PID from Jim Galt, and even applied thermal lagging to the boiler, which makes for a very efficient machine that can be left on all day with very little electricity usage. Ive reprogrammed the PID to give me a timing light/down counter to help shot timing when your handy dandy stop watch is not to hand.

    The Silvia comes with all original items in original packaging and the receipt so that warranty is transferable. Additionally I include a Bottmless Portafilter valued at about $70 and am happy to give the purchase any training in Sydney, based on my limited skills.

    This is a "full service" sale. New price of the Silvia is about $750 and the PID costs $300 not counting 3 hours of labour for careful fitting and re-calibration to the lagged boiler. The complete package valued at over $1,100 replacement value is offered for $800 for personal pickup/delivery in Sydney area.

    If interest send me a PM, before the wife reads this and forbids me to upgrade. ;D
Working...
