We have a VC Resolute Acclaim that came with our house. We bought the house in 2001, and it was a few years old then. I've read here that this model was redesigned for the better in 1994, bringing it from awful to good, and I think it's likely that ours predates that critical transition.
There were some loose chunks of I assume cast metal (or ceramic?) kicking around in there. Photos attached. I'm not exactly sure what they are, as they are so fragmented. My guess is the two "arch bricks." Then, there are a few fragments of I believe the Combustion package.
The question is, is this something I could buy replacement parts for and fix myself, or do I need to have it done somewhere? Or is it worth fixing? I understand that there was some sort or kit available for these that improved them. Should I try to get that?
I'm assuming that the stove is unsafe, and won't use it until this is resolved....
I appreciate your input.
