G E system problem

Member Posts: 13
I have a very old General Electric oil fired steam boiler which supplies steam for a heat exchanger in a blower cabinet which supplies heat to a residence. This system is very unique ( at least in my area). This is the only hybrid system I have ever seen although we have had and still have many GE boilers around here. This one looks like it should be in a museum. It is all original except for the burner parts. Obviously those were replaced years ago. The system works well and supplies good heat to the residence with the ability to supply A/C. My problem is that the heat exchanger is leaking. It is an all copper heat exchanger.I would like to know if there is a company that manufactures this type of heat exchanger and how I would go about sizing it. My only other option would be to replace the boiler with a hot water boiler and a water to air heat exchanger. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

Why not replace with an steam boiler?
Is the heat exchanger bad? A new Smith or Burnham cast iron will work and be efficient.Cost is what you spend , value is what you get.
