My '60 TW has the furnace under the sink and it runs on both 110v and 12v . . . maybe that's what it is for (?).
If you still have the original furnace made by "International Oil Burner," be advised that because they rust out within the chamber, they are well known to explode.
There has not been any parts for them for at least 30 years.
