American Standard Arcoliner

Removing an old American Standard Arcoliner system, plan to scrap it but seems to good of quality to scrap. Any interest or value in a 50's 3B J3 series oil fired boiler?

No. Just $.10/pound or whatever the scrap yard is paying.

I remember thinking the same thing whenever I found a pre-1950s boiler in great shape. I hated taking those old boilers out of the basement. I was happy to get the cash from the scrapyard though.

I would thing to myself "This would be a great museum piece. I learned to work on heaters when these were heating homes in the 1970s. Someone might like to see this some day... NOT!"
