TomH this was the “Hotwatt” Victory Shop model.
The smallest of three different named models in that year. Each with a different use range purpose.
See . . . no external cooler pipes at all.
The whole base was the cooler/soot-ash dropper.
The models with the optional vertical 9 tube gas heat exchanger this was corner mounted onto this hollow gas flowing base. Water cooling liquid was pumped around these vertical gas tubes in a square cross section vertical upright tower chamber. Looked just like the vertical filtering box in this picture.

My actual owned gasifier war the original many times changed proto type unit of the Mid-range Model named a Victory hearth.

The links I listed in this DOW exchange with that years sales manual have all been non-supported deactivated.

A shame really that BenP’s long term impact in his book systems are really just his Ford ModelA/Falcon/Escort/Focus level of capability. Very, very useable and owners practical.
Gone lost in time will be his his big Lincoln car levels of units. Lost in the memory dust; his Formula One level of units. One 10 bars pressurizing capable for a University. Yes 1500 psi.
Ha! And the N.Z. guy CNC Machining is Fun with his bought out of BenP’s museum CONEX box an early BenP. made carbon steel Woody named unit. An Edsel car type.
The other two owners YouTubing their units, were all earliest ss Offgridder Models.
