[VAL] Heater



Hello List:  Finally had time to have the 1969 Suburban heater checked  out 
by a local shop.  I think I had my answer when I was putting the heater  up on 
the counter for the tech to look at it and a pile of rust (flakes and  dust) 
poured out the exhaust vent.  This was a real pile, probably 6 inches  wide and 
2 inches high.  It just kept coming!  Anyway, the tech found  several small 
holes which were causing the small explosions at start up.   Now to find a 
replacement.  Can anyone make a recommendation as to a  replacement that would 
come close to fitting the existing setup (under the sink,  holes in the exterior 
skin, propane hookups etc.)?  Thanks as always for  the thoughts.
