Although not my area, sympathetic cleaning and degreasing would be my advice. I think MF calls it symapathetic conservation. Hopefully it will steam.

Wow, that's big. Is it a model, or a full-size plant? Either way, I'd say you made a good trade.

Interesting that it has a pressure gauge in BAR not PSI.
That wood will come up nicely, looks quite an old design but I cant shed any further light on a manufacturer
