OK, all the parts are in one place & I'm ready to have a go. I have a Red
Hat 2-way solenoid valve (120/60), an NCC solid state repeat timer
(CKK-10-462 - 24VDC - .1-10 second intervals), a 24 volt power source, & an
abundant supply of 18, 16, & 14 gage wire.
The subject pretty much says it all: HELP: wiring a repeat timer & 2-way
solenoid valve for espresso machine. The NCC timer I bought came without
installation instructions & I've gotten no response from tech support at
NCC. If anyone has a wiring diagram for me it would be greatly appreciated!

Howdy Andy!
The new Gaggia Baby got me thinking (dangerous under the best of
circumstances). So I pulled out one of the original Coffees to see what
could be done to make a double boiler of it. No grandiose schemes here -
just doing it to see what I could come up with. So I got a hi-watt
thermoblock, the two-way valve, a timer, a power source, & a few yards of
wire. Then I got lost - I admit sleeping thru the underclass courses in
electronics (not my bag, man).
Sometime next month I plan to sit down & noodle this into something that
works as a double boiler, leaving the Gaggia boiler to handle the brew job
only. I may toss in a PID to replace the mechanical tstat as well - instead
of a cigarette pack sized project box, think of one the size of the square
Kleenex box. Imagine it, a PID'd double boiler Gaggia Coffee; makes me
wonder how much something like that would sell for if Gaggia wanted to do
something like this?
Anyway, it's an idea that I thought I'd try; with it understood that not all
ideas turn out to be *good* ideas. But I'll bet that's what was behind the
thought process of putting a PID on a Silvia, right?
Curiosity, it's kept me going for decades.
