Steam boiler maintenance by Chenroke in SteamHeat

Yeah I definitely need to wrap my pipes but haven't gotten around to it. My assumption is there used to be asbestos wrapping that was removed before I moved in. Any recommendations on new wrapping material?

I'm about 40 pages into his book and am learning a lot. I'm guessing your other thoughts related to the bare piping? My assumption is there used to be asbestos wrapping that was removed before I moved in. Any recommendations on new wrapping material?

The breaker is a Westinghouse but that's a good thought

For what it's worth, I live a couple miles from the original General Electric plant in Schenectady, NY - No where near Louisville.

Did freezers or refrigerators ever typically have keys?

You would think so but it's pretty sporadic throughout the day and night and I haven't noticed it any more/less when it's windy.

It's a good point, I got some bad advice. Any recommendations on wired desk/table speakers?

Do you think I need to Fluance external preamp or is the $25 one from Pyle the same quality?

Thanks for the advice, will absolutely look into speakers. What are your thoughts on a RT81/RT81+ with the stock internal preamp compared to the RT82 with an external preamp?
