Hi Dave,
I have several. They're cool old units but not really worth anything. As you can imagine, even the folks like myself that restore vintage homes & tear out brand new kitchens & haul them to the dump only to install 1910 stoves fridges & anything cool we can get our hands on that's from the time period we seek...things like this are just way, way too expensive to run in this day & age.
It was only a few years ago if you were installing a new furnace, it just didn't pay off buying a high efficiency furnace over a mid or even standard unless you planned to own your home for like 30 years. Those days are long gone & anything but a high efficient furnace is just a poor decision.
It would be like buying a car that got 5mpg & trying to use it for a daily driver.
That said...they're very cool. I have a huge passion for this old crap but truly...it's worth whatever it's worth in scrap metal.
Good luck with it :)
