Cracked steam boiler

3 years ago

We are in the process of renovating and only need another 3 months before we switch out to a modern HVAC. Between the age of the boiler, the vibration from construction, and bitter cold, the boiler is cracked and dripping if we fill the tank more than the bare minimum to keep the unit running. Pilot light is gas.

The plumber feels like we need to buy a new boiler at $8K or a used one at slightly less if we can find one. Isn't there a way to MacGyver the tank just to get us through 3 months? Seems like we should be able to solder or seal. Appreciate any advice!
