I just picked up a Horizontal Hydronic Heater off of craigslist for $125, and I had to drive an hour each way...so it prob. cost me closer to $150 with tolls and gas. What do you think, was it a good purchase? It's an older model, 1/8 HP and 60,000 BTU water. It's a Dayton (Grainger's brand) made by Modine, it's modern equivalent is the HC 86. It seems to be in great shape. My plan is to use it as a basement heater/emergency heat dump.
