VW Rack fits nicely on my L300 Delica
Gary at vwrack.com or evrack.com (goes to the same site) makes a phenomenal product!
He was very communicative, shipped faster than most companies that have stock on hand, and it arrived in under a week from B.C. Canada to Tennessee.
His instructional guide was full of pictures and easy to understand, and he also included a T handle to tighten 90% of the bolts, and the required loctite. All I needed was a couple wrenches for the larger bolts and a ¼ hex wrench.
Putting it together was simple, the hardest part was just getting it centered. All the pieces help square all the other pieces. I spent a little more time because I was trying to keep my "backup camera" mirror. It's possible, but not as safe as without it since Gary has included a "failsafe" nub that's welded in and sticks out should all your bolts loosen up the nub will keep everything from sliding down ideally. You could modify it by welding another one 2 in lower and retain your backup mirror.

1976 La Pavoni Europiccola restoration Rust removal, gasket replacement, testing, troubleshooting
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Рік тому
Some time lapse video of my minor restoration of a 1976 La Pavoni Europiccola. This unit was in fairly good condition. it needed a new switch, rewiring, rust removal on the underside of the base, new gaskets and seals, and then some final testing. All that's left to do on this unit is to purchase and install a replacement thermal fuse.

Antique Craftsman Air Compressor Restoration, it runs so much better now!
Ciao, non so se ad altri è capitato ma ho trovato in un mercatino una macchina Pavoni come quella del tuo video ma piuttosto recente, l'ho acquistata, è piena di ruggine nel piattino dove scende il caffè dopo che lo hai fatto. Mi pare molto strano perché queste macchine devono essere in acciaio inossidabile...ma è evidente che è in ferro, altrimenti non avrebbe fatto la ruggine.
@@nomecognome8416 ciao, scusa la mia grammatica perché sto usando un traduttore. ce ne sono molti se diversi modelli e revisioni. sfortunatamente alcuni dei modelli più vecchi hanno basi in acciaio, altri hanno basi in alluminio e alcuni sembrano essere in acciaio alluminato.
@@nomecognome8416 un modo semplice per rimuovere la ruggine, purché non sia completamente penetrata. Puoi prendere un po' di carta stagnola, farla diventare una palla e usarla per strofinare la ruggine. Converte l'ossido di ferro in ossido di alluminio e quindi smette di arrugginire. Puoi anche usare liquidi convertitori di ruggine da banco.
@@vinnysdiyworkshop9534 Eh purtroppo è penetrata moltissimo, io l'ho trovata già così. Domani la ripasso con la spazzola di ferro nel flessibile. Grazie per la risposta
@@vinnysdiyworkshop9534 L'ho pagata solo 25 euro
How do you polish tbe base on the copper ones? Don't they have a lacquer on them? Do ypu use something to strip them?
@@HuskyHuey yeah, I sanded down the lacquer and used brasso
Any concerns with heat transfer from the black exhaust piping to surrounding plastic on the window? Aren’t exhaust temps usually around 400 F? Seems like most people recommend double walled rigid piping but if you haven’t had any issues with heat I may just go your route and maybe exit out of my dryer vent hole. Thanks!
I have a different roaster (USRC Sample roaster). Do you think I would still need an additional cloudline fan? Is that essentially the only fan for the bullet or do you need it to cool down the exhaust?
Mine broke after 5 - 7 months
Yeah, it didn't have the protection inside that they said it did. If you're technically inclined, it's just a simple DC motor that can be replaced if you have the tools.
@@vinnysdiyworkshop9534 may have accidentally stripped the 4 screws under the bur grinder. I'll see if Amazon can assist, if not I'll remove them and see what I can repair. Thanks for the response!
Awesome! Nice work, man. I really appreciate how you took the time to go over everything rather than just instructions for the modification. I picked one of these up at a thrift store for $5 - had no idea what the USB "in" was for until now. Understanding all of this really inspires me to try some other modifications. I agree with you, the gaskets and dust filters really are nice and make it a bit more outdoor resistant. As for the mic... they rushed that thing out to market on a deadline that they were well past is my guess. Another boon as far as I'm concerned. I don't need any extra smart devices with a mic. Not if it has wifi. A lens I can point where I need it to be. :)
Thank you for sharing your setting. That was extremely informative and helpful 🙏
What would you use a solid lid for?
What do you mean? The lid for the bean hopper?
@7:10 Talking about the catch cup, you say you wish it came with a solid lid. How would you use it?
@@TomMaynard--TCM-- ah yes. It would be nice to be able to grind and then cap the container to save some grinds or just to grind in advance and not have to get another sealed container
Here's a link to the cloudline fan amzn.to/3UxqY5a
I have been going crazy trying to figure out solutions for mine. I’ve spent at least 10 hours playing with the s4 fan and lots of tubing to perfect my setup on a mobile cart so I can choose from roasting in the garage or kitchen. I’ve since given up trying but I’ll try the y joint next
I love mine but it starts and stops (pulses) when I first turn it on. Other than that I’ve been happy with it
This looks great - do you have a write up on how to accomplish this?
Can you make a list of all the extra things you need to make this set up work?
amzn.to/3UxqY5a Cloudline fan is basically it. And a splitter and hose
Can you put the lid on it and use it without the bellows?
How much smoke would you say this produces when roasting 1KG?
Depends how dark you roast. But it needs to be ventilated for sure. Enough to set off smoke detectors.
you are so rough with it. the way you are handling and trying to yank the watch out is excrutiating to watch. terrible video. had you spent money on it, you would have been careful with it.
Just ordered mine today! My son got his at the bucket list tour! I love it
Beautiful

Amazing sound, paintjob, and the helicopter itself
That door is about to fall off. Tighten that screw
Haha, yeah, I've since done that.....after finding the screw in my grinder 😂. From my seat where I roast that screw was completely blocked from my view. Never again 😂
I used to fly them in the 1980s. I love that sexy helicopter.

Hey man, I also own a device like yours. If I want to use windows system, can you send me a copy of the windows driver software? Thank you very much.
Just install driver booster. It will install all of the drivers for you. And check out my thread on reddit in the r/chrultrabook subreddit
OK, thanks@@vinnysdiyworkshop9534
Sick
Hey bro, following up on this, did the high flow primaries damaged your turbos or pistion rings?
Nope.
Nice review. After watching your review I decided to go ahead and purchase this grinder. So far I've run several bags of beans thru it. I mostly grind for pour-over but also grind for espresso. I use medium roast for pour-over and medium and dark for espresso. It does a great job on both with the stepless ability to adjust to very fine for espresso and up to and past the point for pour-over. The VieSimple is easy to use, adjust and clean and in addition it is extremely quiet. 30g is the max for grinding.The hopper/bellows on the top "blow" out any residue. I don't know about grind consistency since I've been making frequent adjustments to dial in the grind. I think I've got it now for both pour-over and espresso though I may change my mind on that at any minute since I'm not a coffee snob. In comparison to my Timemore Chestnut C3 Pro Max it does a good job on both grinds. The fit and Finnish are excellent and the unit seems quite substantial. The only complaints are 1. The on/off switch is on the back of the grinder and it's not very convenient. 2. The grinder is very quiet when grinding but is almost completely silent when running empty. A small led light would be a great reminder that it is still on so it wouldn't continue running after finishing grinding. Would I buy it again: yes. Would I recommend it: For someone on a budget I certainly would. There are no doubt many better grinders at much higher prices but this one seems to be a winner.
Hi, very helpful experience review. I have a question, is it better than the timemore c3 pro and is it good for uncompressed basket?
Real nice setup!
It’s crazy how expensive single dose grinders are. Wish there where more budget ones like this though this one could use some minor improvement. It’s either this or one I found on amazon that can auto measure grams for espresso but it has mixed reviews.
I'll be returning mine. It is not ner as quiet as this one. I believ it is not calibrated corectly, as it wines when its on.
Got mine today so far so good. Pretty heavy (good weight). Ty for the recommendation
Thanks for posting this review! Does the lid fit on to the grinder if the bellow is not attached - I'm hoping to leave it off most of the time.
Yes it does
Nice
Hey enjoyed the review, have me seriously looking at buying one myself. Do you still like it as much as you did? Where did you pick yours up from? im seeing them on amazon right now for around $140
It didn't last as long as I would have hoped
Gosh that copper one's a beauty!
Are there compatible burr/burr set if needed or as an upgrade?
Unsure. But it looks to be a generic grinder, so probably on Alibaba
Vinny - Thank you for the video. In August 1977, I was in Bologna (Italy, of course) and bought a 1977 Europiccola to take back to the US (120V). It was identical to your 1976 shown here. I used it for many years before taking it apart to restore. I got rid of the brown Hammerite finish shown here and powder coated it black gloss, which matched the other features of the unit... all chrome & black. Next, I bought a Millenium Europiccola heater unit off a guy called "Vinny" on EBay... who had to be you. The Millenium has the priceless improvement of the pressure switch for cycling on-off, which I desperately wanted. However, the base threads are different between the early unit and the Millenium stuff. Fortunately, Stefano's Espresso Care in Oregon make an adapter for this purpose. Finally, they also make an adapter so that I could add the "Professional" pressure gauge. Viola! I now have a cool updated chrome and black Europiccola siting next to my all chrome Millenium Professional. Thank you for selling me the later heater base!
Hi Gregory, while I have sold a few, I have only ever owned and sold Pre-millennium models. I have this one and one other listed right now. I'm glad another "Vinny" is in the game haha. Best of luck with yours.
@@mobsterman1992 Hi Vincent - Yes, my hybrid 1977-Millenium is working perfectly. Thank you again for your informative video... and it does appear that there are two La Pavoni Vinnys!
Great review - thanks for sharing. What kind of equipment are you using to extract your espressos? Also, I noticed one reviewer on Amazon complained that his unit was defective. In particular, he demonstrated shaft wobble on the inner burr, yielding in inconsistent grinds. Have you noticed any such defects?
Haven't noticed wobble. Using a nuova simonelli Oscar
you should put a visible light filter on it to block out the visible light. I played with IR photography a while back, Interesting effects.
This is getting a bit closer to what I'm looking for. I assume the Stinger just isn't abundant enough to find people doing tear downs/modifications. People that don't have the 2021+ model with the 10" screen don't understand the envy :) I'm hoping someone takes the leap and buys the parts needed to confirm if there is a way to DIY an upgrade from the 2018-2020 8" screen to the 2021+ 10" screen
It's already been done. All the wiring is there. You just need the screen and head unit piece. I still have the head unit. No screen though.
How's the quality how the grind compared to something like a 1zpresso grinder
I can't comment as I don't have the 1zpresso
I bought a KinGrinder K6 and it's comparable in consistencey, but does NOT get nearly as fine or coarse as the hand grinder (on sale $90, on Amazon). I can grind more and is great for most everything. I wouldnt use it with a nice espresso appliance that has an unpressurized portafilter.
@@estimatedprophethawk What a shame, thanks for the review though.
Hows it holding up so far?
Good. Just doesn't like grinding really hard light roasts for espresso
@@mobsterman1992 gotcha, appreciate the reply!! Thank you!
@@robertomorales8751 just a quick update. It says it has overheat shutdown, and it does not. It jammed up and I didn't notice it, and it kept power applied to the motor and got really really hot. Like burn your hand hot.
@@vinnysdiyworkshop9534 Was the burnt motor replaced under warranty or is it a hassle dealing with their customer service.
@@avi4296 I didn't bother reaching out.
do you think this grinder will grind finer enough for espresso machine, i've been planning to get either smart grinder pro or rancilio rocky but if i can save a few dollars that would be great, i just grind for espresso
I use it specifically for espresso
Good review. Thanks
Great vid I bought one I have eurek but instead of running them all the time go to this
Great review. I have had a very similar unit, the GSX CS3-I for a year now. Just like you I added an additional moisture / oil in line filter off of Amazon. I took the unit apart last week which is very simple and so far no rust and the pressure has stayed strong. I have a bad shoulder so instead of using the hand pump, I moved to the Yong Heng but it was very cumbersome and then after 13 months it crapped out and of course I did not have a warranty. I got smart this time and bought the 3 yr warranty from Amazon. The GSX CS3-I is so solid every charge that I will probably never need to use the warranty. Better to be safe than sorry right?
Nice video and explanations. Now I see what I have to do to get to the lens M12 mount to change the focal length of the Pan Cam. Thanks.
Does it come with a USB plug? Or an American one?
It comes with a 36v DC adapter. It's an American plug, but you should be able to get any type.
@@vinnysdiyworkshop9534 Even EU plug? Or just 110v?
@@adixzvi it's a DC wall wart, it works 110-220v, just needs the right plug adapter.
@@vinnysdiyworkshop9534I was given that grinder but without the power adapter. Could you please send me a picture of the legend information on that adapter such I can look for a matching replacement. Thanks!!
