I have a very old 1924 Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Co. thermostat Model 77 8 day 7 jewel. My house is freezing and so I manual turned up the lever to 70 degree. It usually sparks and it did not this year(1st time to use the heat this season). I checked the boiler and I can hear the sound of the pilot, but it is not heating the water for the house. Counld the thermostat be broken or the electricity is not running through the wires? Can I remove the thermostat from the wall and check the electrical wires. It has most likely been there since 1924, old house 1898. Thanks Lisa
