Well I got the Gaggia Tin Man fired up and working!
New element on, wiring on, pstat and pipe on, group head borrowed from my Europiccola and sight glass tube and gubbins on.
Fired up, safety valve popped as per usual and pressure started to build. Leak from the lower sight glass holder (will probably replace with a spare as I have as it's caked in melted plastic) but other than that it's grand. Pressurestat cycles just over 1 bar which feels right too.
Can't wait to tear it back down and rebuild it now, will get my 3yo son to help too 😁
