That is one beautiful assemblage of a burner.
No parts for that in my shop, and I guarantee you have no chance of finding it or fixing it.
That thing is about 60% AFUE. Buy a 96% AFUE condensing model and you will save plenty.
Or if you go photovoltaic, install a heat pump system for a better payoff if you live long enough.

What do you mean bumbing cycling on and off? Take a picture of the gas valve looking for the wire coming from the pilot assembly. If it goes to a control first take a pic of it. 30% efficiency at best. Probably has a 8 -10" flue. All the duct runs covered with asbestos sheets look like thin grey cardboard. Doubt anybody would touch it to much liability. New system would include all new duct work, asbestos abatement and a flue liner unless going for a 90%+ furnace which uses pvc out the side of the foundation.

But thanks for the advice. Several of the burner heads are too warped and as seen one of the fins snapped off with hardly any effort.
Medusa gave us and a couple generations of families many years of warmth and protection. RIP
