Might be an old Electrol or Quiet May

but whatever it is, it's a museum piece! Any chance of salvaging it?

the boiler control was a quiet may

where would you put it?

At the shop for now

maybe it would gravitate to the Holohan, Mercurio or Lanthier museums after Gordon and I played with it for a bit.

That's not in a church, is it?

If it's a Quiet May

it's probably an early high-pressure unit. There were some pretty wild designs in the 1920s but I'm not sure the May Oil Burner Co. used anything other than high-pressure.

Boiler

The boiler is a U.S. Radiator, and the burner? WOW. Is it low pressure? We once had a subdivision built in the 40's that had Quiet May warm air furnaces with a standard gun burner. That thing is a real dinosaur.
