I got off the Phone today with Bev in sales and they still make the boilers and there on a 8-10 week wait since there building two 260m's at the moment I'll be adding to that time soon once I put in the order for a 130m and a 260m.

How many do they build a year? 8-10 weeks doesn't seem like a very long wait for one IMHO.

That Sir I don't know... I I looking a replacement 260m for myself and in the spring I'll be replacing my parents burham oil boiler with the AA 130m they'll only use about 2-3 tons for winter use so about 300-400 for coal combared two 1200 for oil

I'm currious why you want a replacement 260M to replace your current one... Do you feel the current one is in bad shape, or needs significant repairs??

My 260M was in a house on a river that flooded regularly, the base was severely corroded, the motor has a 'high water mark' inside it, and the controls had water damage..
And mine was basicly ignored untill it was sold to me. You have seen the grate pan rollers... How long would it take to grind the rollers flat with a steel/steel contact ??? decades I'd guess.. With all the worn out items on this boiler, it must have sounded like a horror-movie sound track when running...

Just currious.... Greg
