all nighter and fisher doors interchangeable?

[arhsdave]

Hi....I was given a small All Nighter stove (either a Little Moe or Tiny Moe) that had been sitting out in the weather for years. The vent was rusted shut so I decided to take the door off the hinges and subsequently busted the lower hinge casting off (so bummed). Now I need a replacement door. Anyone know of a place to get All Nighter doors? Are Fisher and All Nighter doors interchangeable?

thanks in advance....

Not even Fisher doors are interchanable on other Fisher's. There were many foundries making doors using different molds. The stove was laid on it's back with door placed centered on door seal. Hinge plates were welded to stove front for that particular door. So you can't simply change doors without removing and re-welding hinge plates in the correct position.
Scrap yards may be your best bet, have your old door welded, or make your own with plate steel.
