It seems to be in pretty good shape, but I noticed today that it seems like all the radio stations at once are coming from the left channel.

I still have the board, so might stick some power on it and see if I can prove anything.   Arfa

Amanda Riphnykhazova <licensedtoquill@gmail.com>: Nov 21 09:30AM -0800 I have always doubted vinegar as a bit of an old wives tale but after a few hours, it seems to have done something. I put the portafiler on it and turned on and it strangulated, wheezed, suddenly spat and then started pouring slightly dirty looking water out of (one side of the portafilter at) the bottom.   Either it works now or I may have to try citric acid a few times to clear whatever else is in there? It is being used in an ultra-hard water area and it has never been cleaned since I got it second hand in rural France

Some reviewers state that CLR leaves a residual taste on metal objects that will not come off.

Amanda Riphnykhazova <licensedtoquill@gmail.com>: Nov 21 10:32AM -0800 Yes, I had heard that you can irretrievably adulterate a coffee machine such that it can never be used for coffee any more if you put CLR in it. (But it definitely burns off all the limescale in minutes)   No one seems to have come across a CLR alternative (of which there are MANY) which doesn't do this.

The latter could lead to a pretty nasty taste, and subsequent cleaning of the coffeemaker wouldn't help.   >No one seems to have come across a CLR alternative (of which there are >MANY) which doesn't do this.   For filters and other reasonably small, removable elements, I wonder whether putting them into an ultrasonic cleaner, with water and a small amount of a neutral surfactant, might not do the trick. This might remove the mineral scale buildup through an essentially mechanical process, rather than a chemical one, and wouldn't attack the surface of the metal with chemicals that could alter its surface chemistry and cause it to "leak" ions.

I'll ask him if he can remember what it was. For general cleaning, there are proper water-path washing agents that you can run through machines. The one I have is Suma Caffe from Johnson Diversy, but cheap it ain't ...   Arfa
