A delux Silvia?
Chris and I worked together to refine this machine, something I'd like
to call a vastly improved Rancilio Silvia. With:
E61 group, NON - HX, lever controlled pump. pressure guage, all
polished 304 stainless, NOTHING to rust ever, (like the Silvia iron
frame does) a large copper boiler, huge water tank, huge drip tray.
Thermowell deep inside boiler for optimum temp. control.
And more good news? I'll be offering these WITH a dual display 1/32
DIN 'pid' controller -- smoothly integrated into the front panel of
the machine -- for $1,000.00 plus $25.00 shipping in the 48 states --
and a 1 year parts and labor warranty on the entire unit.

right on, bro!
So, Don, there you have it. You don't need an HX after all!

IMHO, Don, I'd never ever buy a HX machine
And the boiler pressure only affects steam -- but indirectly brew
temp.
What -- do you make a lotta milk drinks?

Why would this amped up Alexia be better than the HX Anita at $995?
The Anita already has integral dual guages and the boiler pressure can
be set according to taste.
Chris has even been known to offer the Anita discounted with free
shipping if you ask nicely enough or include a grinder in the order.

A 'T' thermocouple, in the well provided. the cap tube probe and
mechanical 'stat are deleted.

Dwyer controls 32 series.

no, but in future models it will be pre-punched and plugged in the
non-'pid' option -- The punch required to get through 15 GA stainless
is well -- tough!

under 1 minute.

same. mebbe a little quieter.

OH BTW, 'pid' Alexias are NOW available with a 10 day lead time.

Dave -
Certainly sounds like a nice job that you and Chris did - congrats.
What are you using to sense temperature? What PID controller are you using?
When you say ". . . smoothly integrated into the front panel of the machine
. . .", I assume you mean you punched a 1/32 DIN hole in the front panel and
mounted the PID in a location that was (possibly) originally intended for
same? By design?
How fast (or slow) can you go from a representative brew temp to steam
conditions?
What is your take on the sound level of the 52w Ulka in Alexia vice the 41w
Ulka in Silvia?
