Spencer Boiler Info?

PostBy: glenn harris On: Thu Apr 19, 2012 6:56 pm

I recently procured this boiler because it looked neat!
Spencer Heater from Williamsport, Pa.
216k btu. Was used w/ oil gun. Horizontal tubes look to be in near perfect condition.
Can anyone tell us about it?
I can't find much info on it at all.

Glenn, the Beacon Boiler book has these boilers listed. Can you read the model no. on the plate?

Glenn, you might as well start a new chapter in "Old Boilers" in your coal burner Registry. I know it did not look that pretty when you found it. 60 years of rust and dust does some 'modification'. Shove a GJ stoker in the beast and have 220K to play with. :idea:

Looks exactly like the old Kewanee type C boilers which were made in the factory at Kewanee Illinois. They were bought out in 1991 by Burnham and closed by their new owner in 2001. I was their ASME code authorized inspector in my previous life for a spell.

I have an old brochure on this boiler.
If you want a copy, let me know.
