This is a nice boiler rig.
I have 2 of this type so this one can go to a new home.
I will sell it at Coolspring (October 14-17) if it doesn't sell here first.
Features:
2 brass steam throttle valves piped to the steam dome
Pressure switch for heater control
1500 watt Ogden immersion heater
Heater power on lamp
Site glass
2 safety relief valves
Check valve to pipe a hand pump to
Pressure gauge
120 volts
Works great!
Boiler vessel 18" long
Length overall 24"
Stout piece of hardware weighs about 35 lbs dry.
Asking $600 or best reasonable offer.
There will be a video up soon.

Interesting...may I ask what the diameter of the boiler is ? More photos would be great as well.

Hi Bruce, the brass outer shell is 5" in diameter. There is a small layer of insulation between the brass outer sleeve and the boiler vessel. I'll look for more pictures of it or take some more. I found a picture of the other similar boiler.
