Seller: shadenville ✉️ (1,402) 100%, Location: Swindon, Wiltshire, GB, Ships to: AMERICAS, EUROPE, ASIA, AU, NZ, Item: 122223130463 Gaggia Classic PID Kit (1/16DIN dual display) - all parts and full instructions. A while ago (OK, I started this project about 12 months ago) I decided that there were probably folk in the UK who owned Gaggia Classics and wanted to PID them but were probably a bit daunted by the task.  Whilst you CAN purchase all of the parts on eBay, and buy cable and connectors and all of the tools required to make everything - I know (from doing it myself) that it all soon adds up and it's not simple. Many people don't really know what to buy, where to source it and don't already have the tools needed to make the wires up etc. - and are therefore swayed towards the only "complete kit" for doing this easily, that being one from a company in the US.  However, it's expensive for people in Europe as you can only purchase them from the US, with expensive shipping and then duty/VAT on top. So - I decided to make a similar (perhaps better) kit myself, largely from off-the-shelf parts but combined with the popular PID components that I also make and sell separately (the Pt100 sensors and the aluminium boxes). I put the outline kit together last Christmas, and started producing the manual - which I think is pretty much a complete Dummy's Guide to Install and Use - and now runs to some 59 pages of A4 (downloaded as a PDF), with lots and lots of photos, instructions, tips, etc. all the way through.  The manual is finished off with a reference section for the PID. So - my original intention a year ago was to make a similar kit to the American one, but make it available in the UK at a reasonable price and with a better manual, and (I think) a better Pt100 sensor and a better aluminium box. Personally, I think I've done it....  ;-) The complete kit contains:
  • Rex C100 PID (dual display) - with SSR output and all pins connected (including the important 6 and 7 for alarm/steam)
  • Custom Pt100 sensor  (also sold separately on eBay)
  • Custom 1/16DIN aluminium enclosure with mounting tape  (also sold separately on eBay)
Brew components:
  • All silicone high temp wires, premade to required length and preterminated with connectors
  • SSR 40A DA with mounting screws
Steam components:
  • All silicone high temp wires, premade to required length and preterminated with connectors
  • SSR 40A AA with mounting screws
Ancillary bits:
  • Cable ties x 2
  • Thermal paste (for SSRs and Pt100 if desired)
  • earthing wire for enclosure
  • Spiral wire wrap
Obviously the kit does NOT contain the actual Gaggia espresso machine!  Note that whilst the kit is aimed at the Gaggia Classic, various other Gaggia machines are very similar if not identical internally to the Classic and hence this kit may also be useful or a perfect fit for them.  Please contact me if you're unsure whether it's suitable for your machine. The kit is NOT designed for the most recent Gaggia Classic (2015 onwards version).  This version can be identified by the lack of a depressurisation tube on the left of the drip-tray (all earlier versions have this thin vertical chrome tube). Again, if in doubt then please contact me. Recently I've helped various people to fit this kit to other Gaggia machines, and I have wiring diagrams and can offer some assistance in fitting it to the following Gaggia machines:
  • Gaggia Evolution
  • Gaggia Baby Dose
  • Gaggia Baby
I've also been asked about suitability for the following Gaggia machines, and for various reasons the kit is not recommended as it's not easily fitted to the following Gaggia machines:
  • Gaggia Baby Twin
You can see a photo of the main contents, ready to go, here: ...and all boxed up ready to ship! (The piece of paper isn't there just for the heck of it and to promote the kit, it contains the download instructions for the manual) As I mentioned, I've spent a great deal of time and effort producing the manual - and I'm not making it publicly available as I believe that a significant part of the value in this kit is the knowledge and information within the manual.  Hence I'm not posting the full manual here, but am posting a preview of the first few pages so that you can see the contents and the quality (hopefully).  This sample is a LOW RES PDF and has low-res photos, the final version is 59 pages and has higher quality photos throughout. Take a look at the manual sample here .  (Note that this is truly AWFUL quality, the fonts are everywhere and the quality is awful - the proper version is very much nicer!) I've priced this marginally above my production costs (especially when taking into account the time and effort that goes into making it up) and want to sell it mainly to help Gaggia Classic owners who perhaps feel daunted by the DIY route, not being sure what to buy or what to do with it, or just want an easy-to-fit PID kit. Obviously anyone who buys it gets my email support if required (and for what it's worth!). Price :  £99 inc UK shipping. A few people have asked about the difference between the 1/32DIN (Single Display) kit and the 1/16DIN (Dual Display) kit: Essentially, the single display and dual display versions are functionally the same.  Both control brew and steam temperature. The only real difference is that the dual display version ALWAYS shows both the "set" temperature and the "actual" temperature - whereas the single display version usually shows the "actual" temperature, but if you press the up/down buttons to change the set temperature then the display changes to show the "set" temperature. Obviously the largest difference is the physical size of the units and the enclosures that they fit it. For the avoidance of doubt - neither version provides any shot-timer functionality, or pre-infusion functionality. Please feel free to "Ask seller a question" if have any further questions or would like to know more.
