taking shape

reassembling with ss fasteners. wiring with heat resistant wire with a new switch schematic. it's off; off; 750W; 1300W; 2050W.
it's wired for 120V, so the maximum load is 17 amps. one could easily modify it to 240V by wiring the heating elements in line instead of parallel. of course there'd be only off/2050W.
pressurestat got a new ss bracket, before it just hang on the copper tubing (?) .
from espresso parts i got new knobs. unfortunately the quality is just not the same as on the old ones.
for the refill valve i reworked a regular valve knob so the bottom panel is symmetrical (not on this photo yet). originaly it had only a plastic disc. the left valve is refill, the right one the hot water spout.
