Old steam system

We have an old low pressure steam system with Hoffman 2A adjustable vacuum vents. Hoffman no longer makes these vents. Does anyone know of any replacements for these vents, or what do we need to do to keep the system functioning.

You can use
standard non-vacuum vents. I'd replace all of the vents, as vacuum generally doesn't work well with oil or gas firing.
Also check your main vents. Measure the length and diameter of each steam main and tell us what vent is on it. We can tell you what's needed.
