Thatcher furnace

I have a vintage Thatcher Model G-70 series 1 gas furnace steam. It is leaking water from the rear of the unit. Can the unit part that is leaking be replaced?. If so, where can I buy the parts? Or, at worst, where can I buy a similar Thatcher unit in good condition? Thank you.

    You will need a new boiler.

    Come on, splurge on a new 85% boiler! Stop throwing 1/2 your gas up the chimney!

    Is it possible to obtain parts for a Thatcher G-70 Series 1 steam boiler? If not, do you know where I might be able to find another Thatcher unit? Thank you.

    How many different ways are you going to ask the same question?

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Is there some reason why this "vintage" (as you put it) boiler must be repaired, instead of replaced as suggested by the professionals above? Pictures always help.

    No. That company went out of business probably decades ago.
