Faema C84/1 Rebuild album and parts list

[Alex]

Important notes:
- The steam wand and hot water tap don't seem to be stock according to parts diagrams I've found. No idea where they came from
- The machine was previously owned by a clueless guy who put bicycle shop grease on EVERY FITTING. It essentially baked on every thread and took forever to clean off. DO NOT USE GREASE ON ANYTHING! (You can use molykote 111 silicone grease on o-rings only)
- The parts list is not perfect or complete, some parts are wrong and some are left over or duplicated. Some parts need modification. I tried to add comments where necessary.
- I took out the water softener because I already soften the water. You can see how I did this in the pictures and parts list.
- The HX pipe/fitting that screws into the bottom of the HX part of the boiler has a very slow leak. Can't find an appropriate gasket, might need to make a custom one.
- Every o-ring and gasket replace, most springs replaced, level glass rebuilt, some missing parts added. Water softener removed. New Pump.
- Mainly used citric acid and hot water to clean everything.
- Works great!
