Planning to take out 9 radiators from my house and want to know if there is any interest in these radiators in Sterling, Illinois.

    Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

    I'll save them!! Only a 2 hour trip. Depending on what you got pretty sure I'd be interested.

    I am converting to a furnace with air conditioning. Abracadabra, do you need any pictures? There are a couple different sizes.

    But he hasn't taken them out yet, so there's still HOPE!!! I'd frankly just leave the system in place... for the next person to resurrect, but at least he's didn't put them out for the trash.

    There are 2 lower radiators 24" high, 1 is 36" wide and the other 76" wide. Other 7 range from 36" to 48" wide to 36" to 50" high depending on pipes running back to wall or down to floor.

    Am I seeing correctly? Is that a wall-hung rad? If so, could you post the exact dimensions, particularly the depth, and perhaps post another pic showing a side view.

    Please reconsider. With steam, especially two-pipe systems. and a/c you get the best of both world for comfort and economy. Did you know you can control the output for each room with the system you have? I'm guessing it's a vapor system from the handles, possibly a metered system. Uggh. Plus, they look so good in an old house.
    @Abracadabra , where are you located?

    I'm on the north side of Chicago. 2.5 hour trip each way to the OP. Not really thrilled with the wall hungs since I've never had a need for them, and the 20ish inch high ones I'd only be interested in the 36" ones.

    I was holding on to a bunch of wall hungs but there was no market and I had no need so I ended up giving them away.

    The wall hung is about 10-1/2" deep -- 36" x 36". One other has 1 floor pipe and 1 wall pipe. There are 2 shorter ones and other 5 radiator pipes run to floor. To discuss arrangements for pick up, you can email marierombouts.mr@gmail.com

    Thank you for posting the pics. I'm looking for a single column wall hung to fit behind a door, so that won't fly. :(
