Cool.
If you do want to fire it up find a local model engineering club and get them to test the boiler first.


 Yeap, and will more than likley need a 10 year hydrollic on it and also if the tester is unfamiliar with the boiler and you have no history may insist you have the boiler out and off for inspection.
