I have hooked up the CO2 and the machine turns on and fills up and does stuff. Have been using soda-stream cylinders but they are pathetic and by the time it pressurises all the cylinders and lines its almost empty.

The replacement parts arrived yesterday but havent put them on yet. But once I do that and get a CO2 cylinder might be in business.

I was looking at the BAR2D2 thread on the RFL forum and thinking that a full-on shushy machine would be much cooler and more worthy - any plans to mobilise it?

Well it needs some form of wheels it takes 4 people at least to even attempt to move it. Not sure whether I have anything that would be up to it. Also stability could be an issue. it is a little top heavy and its the benchtop model so would need to be raised up.

I just hope nothing is really wrong with it. Worst case would be a leak in the refrigerant line or dead compressor. Unfortunately these are things you can only find out once you have it setup.
