I live on long Island and I have a 73 year old, American Standard, oil fired boiler. The old gal sprung a leak at the very bottom of the dry return. Access had to be obtained, through the steel jacket, to reach, cut out, and replace the offending nipple. This post is a special thanks to Matt Sweeny (aka Mad Dog), for doing such a beautiful, and professional job with this repair.
Its old, Its inefficient, but it works great, and thanks to Matt, it's not leaking.

Hello Danny Scully. I saw your post last week titled "day and night". This is the link to it:

It would be my dream to have that same team that you described replace my American standard. You, your brother, Your father, and bring the helper. As you have read, Matt has given the old girl and extra year. And I really needed that. Next year she`s all yours.
Happy Birthday Matt Sweeny, and thanks again.73 year old one pipe system with original American standard boiler, oil fired becket, 2 inch steel pipe main, 100 feet long, with 8 radiators above.1 -
