Hydro-heater information quest. ???

[Claude]

Hello, brand new to this forum and very excited about my recent score of a Hydro-Heater at the cost of half a tank of gas. That said I have no clue about this stove other than if I had the welding Skills to fabricate it I would have. I am on second day trying to find information on this stove with no luck. I am trying to find out who manufactured this stove so I may completely understand it. It was built in 1980 So it shouldn't be an issue

Whow! I didn't think they made stoves that loose as late as 1980. Looks like an old Franklin stove. Are you sure it doesn't say 1880?

Never seen one!

Maybe post in the classic stove section?
