Any knowledge about the power plant Shown in the pic.

And yes the seller rating is as bad as i have seen on ebay.
Thanks
Like I said, it’s my favorite boiler and I use it for my displays at shows. Works great even out in the wind. I wouldn’t give more than $750-1000 for that one on eBay… lesser side not knowing how well the engine is built
Use caution, this boiler has set my carbon monoxide detector off twice, first time was after a run and we had gone to bed. Not sure why as the burner is putting out a perfect blue flame.

By the way, check out the seller’s negative feedback with picture 😂
Hilarious, though perhaps not so funny to that one buyer!?!?
WHAT's he complaining about, he got a full page cigarette add.
OH, that. (https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji7.png)

Risky seller. Negative track-record + hi-priced item = uncertainty and nightmares.

That is a fine looking steam plant of potential true quality, though there is always the possibility of a lemon depending on the build.
I will agree with Nick that it does seem a bit pricey thinking that half to two-thirds that price may be closer to a fair deal, though as always, price depends on the desires of the buyers!

Is it an SH4? I LOVE my SH4, probably my most used boiler! Builds steam very fast. I would say price is high though…

I am more interested in the boiler comments
