King evaporator

[butch361]

My dad bought a farm that had an old sugarshack on it. Inside is a King evaporator. I have attached some pictures. Can the pans be saved?

We just had the same thing this year. We bought a house with a shack and a King evaporator. Mine are in a little better shape than yours;), they have a little less rust, but I am using them and making syrup on them. When I asked some of the guys at our state meeting about the rust they said use them. I would check to see if they hold water first. Some of the problems we had....Can you get the fittings together on the sides? Do you have the plug for the flue pan? Are all the parts for the float box all there. If they hold water go from there.
