Steam Wand

Hi,
My S1 is 4-5 years old now, I just had to replace the steam arm, it was leaking from the around brass nut/ball joint for a while, eventually, the steam arm actually pulled right through, looks like the brass has stretched slightly. I got a new arm and fitted that and everything is fine now, although the new arms don't have the notch in the top of the tube, so there's less articulation on them. The new arm also had a 4 hole tip which took a bit of getting used to.
Cheers
Simon
