I always liked the shape of the snowman style boilers all covered in snow that had been converted 3 or more times. Simple and quiet.
The latest This Old House project has the original American Standard boiler, looks like the OP's. Wonder what Richard ends up doing? Talking about removing baseboard for in floor radiation. Mod Con?

Pure simplicity boiler, simple water piping, as long as the HX and burner tubes hold up its good for another 100 years....unless the Green Deal gets it...
