Subject: I need help with older Gaggia MDF.
|
I've acquired one of the older Gaggia MDF grinder. It's the shorter version,
the one that disassembles differently than the latest model. I can't
remember how the hopper comes of so the burr set can be inspected. Can
anyone offer some help or have a parts schematic for this model? Does the
burr set for the new model fit this model?

I used to own the same grinder. You will just have to put a large
screwdriver under the hopper and jiggle a bit. Cover the screwdriver with a
piece of cloth to hopefully avoid scratching the plastic.
I think the bur set is the same as the newer models. I replaced mine by a
pair that I purchased on the internet. They weren't labeled "old type"...
Hopefully this helps you,
Greetings,
JeeWee

Howdy JeeWee!
Damn, I hate to use more force that I tried to get this thing loose. It
hasn't budged after working at it for ten minutes. I could sure use some
photos or exploded vies of this machine. Do you happen to know of any?

Hi Robert,
I had the same problems as you do. I then googled and found the info I
gave you. Now I found it again and I'll copy it here:
Hi Owen, I recently participated in a refurb of an MDF and like you had
trouble removing the hopper. The tech was quite amused, he simply grabbed
a
big screwdriver, jammed the shaft in between the hopper and the body and
levered around in a circle, gradually loosening the hopper upwards until
it
could be pulled out.
We are taking about the model with the metal body are we? The newer type
has 2 covewred screws in the hopper...
Good luck!
JeeWee

Howdy JeeWee!
It worked! One second I was huffing & puffing and the next it plopped out
onto the counter. Now that I've got it apart I can see that I didn't need to
crack it open - the burrs are as sharp as new. Thanks a million for your
help.
