On the plus side the boiler has had a recent hydraulic test with new certification issued - not a commercial job, and the amount of silver solder suggested Hall marking rather than hydraulic testing - but leak free under pressure.
It runs in both directions on air, the slide valves passing slightly. Both pump clacks leak back and need either attention to their seat or replacement.
