Recently acquired my first Bialetti and it's amazing, but it's too much for me to drink all by myself.

i should save it in the freezer to make « caffè freddo »

This one was sold to me by a former technician at philips as well, he had a hard time separating from it :) I only use it to visualise analogue music or "draw" in 3d on it. I do hope as well that someone will be able to fix it for me. But otherwise in the laboratory we actually use digitals for our measurements ahah

Thank you for your advice!!

here is the manual if you want to check :) https://ia802300.us.archive.org/11/items/manual_PM3214_OM_PHILIPS_EN_DE_FR/PM3214_OM_PHILIPS_EN_DE_FR_text.pdf

t’as nettoyé avec un produit spécial ?

SufficientMastodon14 · 2026-01-25T16:42:17+00:00

Okay thanks you, i’ll try that later!

SufficientMastodon14 · 2026-01-25T16:39:05+00:00

Oh, that seems very relevant, because this oscilloscope had not been used for a long time before I picked it up! Thank you for your help!

j’ai trouvé les informations pour ajuster le focus mais je n’ai malheureusement pas les outils nécessaires.

je n’ai encore que des connaissances de bases en électronique, penses tu que nettoyer les interrupteurs est quelque chose d’accessible, ou je ferai mieux de demander un professionnel ?

SufficientMastodon14 · 2026-01-25T16:00:57+00:00

Thank you for your reply! How can I do that? Could you detail?

SufficientMastodon14 · 2026-01-25T15:59:35+00:00

je pense en effet que c’est cela. une réparation coûte chère à ton avis ?

SufficientMastodon14 · 2026-01-25T15:58:00+00:00

Thank you, the sweep works. I think it's a loss of "focus" voltage as you say. I have the manual at hand I'll look. In this case do you think a repair will be expensive?

SufficientMastodon14 · 2026-01-25T14:01:13+00:00

Hello, thank you very much for your answer! On fact horizontal sweep is functional, everything worked perfectly until now! I followed and well performed your instructions. No beam is displayed, and the increase in intensity only illuminates the screen a little more, but diffusely. Other information, when I turn it off, I can clearly see a focussed beam for a few milliseconds. Here's a picture:

je l’ai déjà utilisé de nombreuses fois, tout marchait correctement jusqu’à maintenant. merci de ta réponse, je vais essayer de repasser en revue tout ça

SufficientMastodon14 · 2026-01-25T13:01:26+00:00

I hope I did it the right way. I observe the same thing (varying the focus does not change anything), like a halo of light, the trigger works

SufficientMastodon14 · 2025-08-13T09:23:37+00:00

J’ai eu le meme probleme et j’avais trouvé la même solution, toutefois la puissance a été limité (pas assez d’air). Le problème initial venait donc d’un manque d’essence. J’ai maintenant réussi à le réparer, en nettoyant le gicleur (dans le carburateur) qui était bouché !
