I have an old Gaggia MDF grinder that recently went bang. When I opened it up all the internal wiring had perished and so it was shorting out.
I can get the electrics done easily enough, but am stuck with the disassembly. I've got the motor unit out, but can't remove the upper hopper. Looking around on the net, it seems that the more recent ones have a couple of screws inside the hopper covered by plastic blanks, but mine doesn't have them.
I figure that it either unscrews or is a pull off, but I've tried both with as much force as I dare considering the plastic is about 25 years old and no success.
Does anybody have any experience taking one apart ?
