Faemina via casella First serie the Red one Vintage Pur

Faemina first serie 

from

Via Casella

whit the no.2182

Hand lever espresso machine Vintage Pur

one of the most beautiful machines from the home of Faema.
in this condition and still such a model ....
just great .

she is very well preserved.
a gasket change and rewire would have been enough.
but no!
Let the machine chrome for the most part

                                                      then it starts

which is hard to remove the body

 

a care program for the small parts

In any case, the faemina will get a new feather

I decided to partially chrome-plate the faemina again,

  

so there is no way around disassembling them


and now she looks as new!

 the chromer does a wonderful job

 the base was very difficult to disassemble
the pin bolts for the connection are conical, 
but it is disassembled!

the body just looks awesome! completely new chrome ...

what should I write, look at it yourself

 I wanted to polish the bottom cover,
but decided to chrome it ...
as the base is a difficult matter since both materials are made of aluminum.

  

a Faemina in individual parts

 

After many looking for and testing springs,
  I ordered a few from Cafelat Store.
Very good springs, but I missed a bit more pressure!

so I decided to make a feather made to measure

to be honest the first three attempts were wrong

Now i have it!

Original the spring has 8 turns,
which I have 9 turns with 90mm length and
 has a maximum force of Fn 1450n.  


so if you need one get in touch :-)

I think I'll leave a manometer on!
still looking for a little chromed one.

first test run was perfect.
I set the valve to 0.5 bar.
this area is perfect for the faemina.
