I need a Weil-McLain LGB-5 for steam and can’t find one in NY/NJ. Can you help?

I’ll take a substitute but prefer to install what I sold two months ago when my supplier had one in stock. This is what happens when you wait, people.

    I assume you tried FW Webb. I only ask (not because I like them , I don't) because they are a huge chain with branches all over.

    Have you tried a Peerless? I know you like what your farmalier with.

    Can you repair the old unit until you can get the one you need. Even some heat is better than none.

    Yes and yes. I use Webb a lot in Manhattan. They've tried to kill me with their prices in the past but we've negotiated a better discount recently.
