    This one is a little older. Will work, but not hooked up.

    That top White-Rodgers we had in the family home running a Janitrol (National US Radiator) boiler. When it was replaced with a "modern" W-M, it short cycled so I put a round on (1989) so I could adjust the anticipator.

    We too had that same White Rodgers in our home when we tore out the old coal furnace and installed a Janitrol forced air furnace.

    Ones like mine? I would love to see the instructions if they're still intact, and a picture of the box....Oh heck just sell it to me :)
