Disclaimer: We are the people that provide 'pid' computer temperature controlled Silvias here on eBay. I've seen almost 600 (SIX HUNDRED) of them here.

Wide temperature swings of over 60 degrees F are the major cause of complaints of the machine being 'fussy'. With skillful handling, this problem can be reduced, and shots will be more consistent. With the addition of a "SMART" temperature controller, ROCK SOLID brew temps can be achieved, resulting in excellent consistency from shot to shot.
--------------------------------
[A rather unpleasant aside: Someone who does NOT like me personally, NOT a customer NOR an owner of any of my products, is taking pot shots at the components we use in our products. Stating, to wit: " . . . cheap $10.00 controllers used in your machines." I assure you, the controllers used in my machines are all brand-new, latest production, provided by Dwyer Instruments, Inc. of Michigan City, Indiana. Dwyer has been providing industrial process controls since 1931: -- http://www.dwyer-inst.com/AboutUs.cfm

There ARE cheap controllers out there for about $20. They do not look or WORK at all like ours. NOR do we provide USED parts.
When you see commentary like this, it may be due to envy at our success. Please consider the source. Further consider, if you will, our track record and feedback on ebay, for almost TEN years, dave713.]
______________________________________________

Now back to the Silvia:

With just reasonable care and feeding, a Silvia can last 10 years or more. Indeed, in August, two OLD Silvias, 8 and 9 years old respectively, were sent here for a tune-up and installation of our 'pid' temperature control system. Other than a minor cleanup, they were both ready for several more years of good service to their owners. (NO aluminum parts to corrode)
Thanks for listening!
