D-32 to do
By: AirSpyder Date: February 2, 2020, 1:36 pm

I have had this for several years now, a box of parts and
pieces. :-\
[attach=1]
I have no doubts that it can be resurrected, I think it is
mostly complete and the bits that are missing can be made or
replaced.
A warning: there may be some modifications along the way.
I'm thinking that it would be nice if the pump could be removed
for servicing without de-soldering/re-soldering

Good Luck! :D :D
They’re not very user friendly for repairing without removing
solder joints. How do the encaps of the boiler look? Any
cracking?

I have a plan for the boiler, I hope it works :)

If it casts a shadow, it can be restored :)

Interesting project.
Please keep us updated.
I am excited to see how you breathe life back into this one!

A major task there Bill, will be looking forward to see how you
choose to "attack" it :)
If the boiler is dead, i guess a 3" immersionheated Jensen
boiler could easily feed those cylinders (and if not a
bellyheater could be added).
But it would need a bit of surgery, to get that wilesco
sightglass fitted on there, to keep it perfectly hidden under
those covers.

Will be following closely as this looks very interesting -
hopefully it will work out well.

Hi guys,
These really are tedious buggers to work on ;)
It seems that previous owners have fixed a thing or two over the
years so it will be interesting getting the different length
bolts and new pipes all sorted.

I put a couple of things back together and tested on air, I see
activity in the gauges so that's good.
