• Not the best original paint and the green/red is repainted (likely in the 1970's), but it was in decent shape and more importantly, affordable

  Could you post a picture of the burner with dimensions?
  
  I need to make a burner for mine.
  
  Another great addition to your collection!
  
  Here is a picture of mine.

  Thanks Charlie, yes I will get some pictures and dimensions, but I cannot guarantee that it is original... I am sure the fill plug is not original (would have likely just been a small hole) and also not sure about the handle...
  
  Have you run yours on air or steam?

  Thanks Nick.
  
  I tried mine unsuccessfully. You have motivated me to try again. 🤠

  The "nozzle" is just an air line fitting from the previous owner.
  
  The safety valve simply pops up, but with the spring on the outside of the boiler. I'll take a close up picture for you...
