used cast receivers

I need to sell my boiler's approx. 8 yr. old Hoffman Watchman WC-12-20-B 14 gal. condensate unit. The Marathon pump failed and I can replace it or you may do so. Also, I want to buy a used cast iron boiler feeder of at least 20 gallons. I am in Philadelphia, PA and I am willing to travel to pick up and/or deliver these items.
By way of explanation, a contractor installed the Hoffman 14 gal. receiver for my home's prior owner. It discharges condensate into its overflow/vent pipe and I have determined that a minimum 20 gal. receiver is needed based on Hollohan's The Lost Art of Steam Heating, pgs. 179-180 with calculations as follows:
A. steam-to-condensate time lag: 13.5 min.
B. steaming rate (Weil McLain LGB-6): 1.08 gpm
C. minimum receiver size: (A/B) x 1.33 = 19.39 gal.
Anybody out there able to help me on this need?
