Re: boiler
Look on Gumtree - and search for "Burco" there are two at £25 fixed price, no auction. Search on "Tea Urns" and there a couple more at £40
If you want to use a stock pot there are lots of options for elements. Try searching on "Burco Elements" or you could have a look on You-Tube at lots of "How To" videos that may help. Have a look at this one that shows you how to reclaim an element from an £8 electric kettle.

Are you looking at Stainless or Aluminium stock pots? Make sure they are stong enough to support a column, some of the low cost stainless ones are very thin indeed.
