Thanks for the comments everyone. Bruce, the steam line is loose on both ends but that should not be too difficult a repair. Arnold, this plant is similar to the one you posted but larger. It is at least 18 inches square at the base, the boiler almost 5 inches in diameter and the flywheel about 6 inches. I did think that the gauge was also the safety. Thanks to all for confirming. Here are a few more photos. Look at the size of the burner! (BTW I paid $950 for it!)
