Rebuild Firebox or Replace No.16 HB Smith boiler?

in THE MAIN WALL
I just found The Wall this week and think its great. I've got a classic, HB Smith No 16, single pipe steam boiler in the basement. It's kept us warm for the last 15 yrs, using 1130 gallons of No 2 heating oil last season and 1150 gals the year before. My oil company is telling me its junk and needs to be replaced. I don't know if I should believe them. It has leaked water, but I think I've fixed it with Hercules Boiler Liquid this week. My question is the firebox. See pictures. Can a firebox be rebuilt? By whom? Any recommendations for a good Dead Man that will travel to Swampscott/Marblehead?
