Generally an advanced degree in liberal arts only means that you don't have
to wear the paper hat anymore when you ask "Do you want fries with that??"
FWIW, my database only goes back to 1961. I can't find that particular model
number. Either the model number is incomplete, or its older than 1961. A
serial number would be real nice. If your furnace is older than 25 years or
so, then you can figure that it falls under the "Jurasic" era, and you will
be money ahead to replace it.
Pay the service call, you probably have all kinds of other issues with the
system.
