I wish I saw this thread so many years ago. I know where a abandoned ARCO boiler from that period is just rotting in a dank dark corner in a ancient basement of a building in Salt Lake. No need to haul that stuff out back then, just push it out of the way and make way for the new.

That one was in either N. Lindenhurst or W. Babylon, can't remember. I'll have to check General tags from now on.

Got a kick out of seeing the copper jacket unit. Used to work for General until April of 2010. Wonder if I ever serviced it. My service number was 535 I think.

Color?

I'm surprised, that boiler is making you a "good customer" for an oil company. The old stuff usually works great at the expense of efficiency.

Have seen many of these. What a superior boiler for its day. And the extended jacket to cover burner assy. sleek looking. Have never seen one leak. Not like todays castings .Applying fire brick baffle in top portion a must though. Good ole double door.

It's water jacketed, originally oil.
