Daniel, do you have a photo of this boiler?

Don't think I do Jim, but obviously you see the firebox on the base with the beam engine. The boiler looks much like it might have been built by an auto mechanic or such like person, as it has valves and fittings that seem to suggest that might have provided the supply chain. It may actually be a sound boiler if it was reworked with proper fittings and if it checked out okay otherwise. But again, this is WAY down the project list, partially because I really don't have a proper place to display it without kicking old favorites out first.
