That's add is a buy it now, did you make an offer? Depending on if who ever put the screws to where
the sight glass goes will tell if it's to far gone for replacing. If it doesn't leak the way it is,
you could use it as is. Remove the top screw if it will come out. Put a fiber gasket on the screw.
Add distilled water until it starts to trickle out, it's full. Tip a little out, put the screw and
gasket back in, snug it, and run it. Not all steam engines have a sight glass-window in the boiler.
Have fun, that's what this all about.
