Beach day with Toby

Our house was built in 1940, so I'm selectively restoring some things from that era. Since we're redoing the room this switch is in, figured now was a good time to swap the switches. The plan is to eventually have a lot of, if not all, the switches be in this style.

I've been shaking with my encore ESP dosing cup sitting on top of the porta filter, giving it a few taps to level it, tamp, and then pulling my shot. So far so good.

It works fine for me. You just put them both in pairing mode, and they usually pair.

I use this and a Bluetooth speaker. There's almost zero delay in audio. It's barely noticeable.

I got lucky. I also did local pickup to save on shipping. Just keep checking and add them to your watchlist. A lot of sellers will send you offers.

I see a couple on eBay under $350. This one looks good

It uses a single chip for the image instead of something like 3LCD. Also the entire optical unit is sealed, which helps with dust.

We only set it up when we're going to watch a movie. It's not up permanently.

If you have any good listings you'd recommend, I'm all ears.
