are you referring to the drain from the brew valves what kinda machine is this i really haven't seen the fb 70 or 80 im sure its about the same, now if your referring to the drain leaking then if it is where from i know some of the drain pans (part that is under all of the groups) wont go into the drain tub and instead the water will just go around the lip(hole) and just run down the pan. what i do in that case is i take needle nose pliers or wire cutters and try to bend/nick the metal to persuade the water into the tub. i have seen brand new machines dripping all around the tub right after i installed it and customers being mad because of the manufactures flaws.



please clarify this or post some pics, if not hope this helps

Hi Shiloh,

Did you post the pictures ? I'm curious to understand better what kind of trouble you've had..

I've helped a friend to rebuild and old (20y.o.) Linea from the Brazilian Illy Coffeelab... I think I can help you

If you are just talking about the bottom stainless panel then yeah its kind of a job. Newer Marzoccos don't even have a bottem panel anymore. The panel is riveted on and can be pried off. However, you will have to unhook the water lines, take the cord cap off of the power cord, and remove the drain. Pull the power lines from the pump and plug through the panel and then using a large screw driver, pop off the panel from the frame. When you pry off the panel you might want to file down any rivets that don't pop off (they can be very sharp). Then you just have to re-install every thing. I do this this to machines that I refurb just because the bottom panel fills up with coffee and milk and is hard to keep clean.
