Hi Larry,

No that is fine, in fact I encourage the discussion of what is wrong in the pictures so long as the correct answer is not given until the following day

BTW for my friends in the South this item is part of a piece of equipment designed for heating water so it can be pumped around the house to warm it up, it's called a B-O-I-L-E-R.

Regards

Gerry

Gerry, I remember those things called boilers. They had them on the first two U.S. Navy ships I was on, we used them there for heat too, as well as propulsion to make the big thing go through the water.

The damper is installed upside down. The adjustable weight is suppose to be on the bottom.
