Beautiful cleaned up American Radiator

Been a while since I posted, but mostly as it’s been a while since I needed to (or unnecessarily chose to) work on our system… but as I’ve fired things up for the first time this year, felt like a good time to get a picture of the beautiful American Radiator beast I bought, cleaned up, and installed last year.

    That's their "Rococo" model. We see a lot of them around here- and yes, they are beasts to move around!

    @dabrakeman I’m terrible at remembering to take before pictures. Honestly, this one was not in bad shape. I’m fairly certain it only had - believe it or not - a single layer of paint on it… and only on the front side. The one I posted a while back I did manage to get a before picture… an entire day of work to clean it up and then retapping the mangled threads
