Grubby, but underneath the muck is a well built engine - fit and finish of the motionwork and valve gear is good, it's been well protected by oil over the years. The engine turns over smoothly by hand and runs on air - there's a clip of it ticking over in the workhop here.
We've no history for the silver soldered copper boiler, however a twice working pressure hydraulic test showed no sign of leaks or deflection of plates - we would warranty it as sound.
