Default re-wiring Gaggia Coffee Espresso?

They said that for 110 use, it needs
to be completely rewired (differently).........3 hours.......$60 an
hour.


3 hours? 20 minutes max for a half way competent tech. Looks like the two
elements might be in series on 220, in parallel on 110. Easy

The solenoid and pump may need a step up transformer to run properly off
110. Not hard.

$20 for a transformer and 1 hour max to do all of that.

Hell, I used to repair popup toasters. Diagnose, repair and test all in
under 5 minutes. Practise makes perfect.
