Looks pretty good even with that dent in the boiler, but the dent is quite distracting in that rather key visual location. I'm thinkin' they're wanting a bit much for that one, though given time someone will probably decide they want it that much!?!?

Wrong chimney - no burner - safety valve weight cut in half - dent -
Governor missing parts
It is a 3-4 condition - and a value from 250 up - in my opinion

But - overall good looking, nice water level - repairable

So the dent is the crease at the boiler base behind the flywheel ?
 Has it impacted on the integrity of the boiler seal ? ie will it leak as the solder joint looks deformed.

Cheers

I am more worried about this behind the flywheel
 Is it a shadow or a crease .
 Boiler looks like pulled away from the nickel ring that joins boiler to fire box
Or is my eye sight -laying tricks on me

I see what you are referring to here Dennis, but I just past it off as a visual distortion due to the reflection of the backside of the flywheel. However, now that you have it really isolated, I have to wonder if perhaps you are correct?!?!
