I've got her completely disassembled. Parts order is in. Should only be a few hours to reassemble, test, and "season". I bought a replacement Silvia V4 because I was worried I'd need a new boiler (~$300).
But once I got the old Silvia V3 all pulled apart I was super happy to find it only needed a new boiler gasket and over pressure valve gasket (and some other "while you're in there" stuff). I'll post it up for sale once she's back to health and I've pulled some shots.
I'm still using my bro-in-law's 15 yo hand-me-down V1 I dragged across the Pacific a few years ago. I don't think it's had anything done to it than regular cleaning and descaling.
