Default Dinosaur
I thought all dinosaurs are dead long time ago. Apparently this relic is still alive and well.

It is gas, but no blower. Distribution by convection only.

Wow, that is the newest looking Octopus system I've ever seen, usually they look like they were built out of old battleships and entombed in Asbestos

I inspected one last week that had a 1941 convection gas furnace. Worked fine, but yes it was very old...

I guess this what my client is going to do: replace the dinosaur with modern "Trane" and get some money back.
