Can anyone please identify this old boiler for me - I know nothing about it at all apart from the obvious, that it's an old open flued gas boiler.

Many thanks

It must be very old, given this uncanny resemblance:

Just came across some Potterton DIplomats somethingn like that?
 
It looks more like some of the early GlowWorms.

Regardless, why is it so important to know exactly what it started life as?

Do you really need to know anything about it?

definitely an ideal E type prob around 1967/68.
Not seen one with the original gas valve like that for a long time .
It was an unusual valve that basically you could change everything on it .
T/couple power pack, the governor ,operator and even the pilot control knob assembly(known as the pilot stat).
Used to come with ceramic burner bars that should have been changed around 1981 along with the cast iron baffle plates for steel ones.
There ends the history lesson :LOL:
 
Well now the history lesson is over we can move back into the present!

Obviously the owner neeeds to replace it with a nice new condensing boiler!

By the looks of the rust its had a fair amout of condensation on it anyway :LOL: .
Looks lke the only bit not leaking is the pump valves that normally leak.
 
dunno namsag, looks like the right hand one has some crust on it. :LOL:

its bloody rough anyway, i like the right side pipework disappearing into "dirt". :LOL:
 
im surprised its not covered in fire cement.
