I'm thinking about the joystick wands. Does anyone have the part numbers? Maybe not though since I never steam milk...

Since I have an extra vacuum valve it will just be replacement if it needs it. On Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at 3:25:38 PM UTC-6, bmacpiper wrote: > > Nice, getting the lever type wands?
