We need help to confirm the model of our Temtex/Temco fireplace. We can barely make out the manufacturer’s name with all the soot and grime. We can’t make out the name of the model of all things and have hit a huge hurdle until we find out. It’s been a sore since we moved in and we want to get this project kicked off.
Really would appreciate all the help we can get! Please help.

The house was built in 1980.
The serial number is engraved - F673183

Try taking a pencil with a sheet of paper and rub the graphite over the paper, there might be enough raised ridges to highlight a portion of the name / model.
 
Appreciate this. I’ve tried this method with no success. Even thought to take a picture and adjust filters to try reveal more than I could see. Also no success, sadly.
 
Hi! New to forum here and having a similar problem. Got some numbers visible here, but not enough for me to figure it out via google. Someone painted over it recently. Any help would be appreciated! Trying to replace a section of flue and repair fireplace and the repair guy says he'd like the model number to make sure it'll fit properly.

Take some paper and a pencil and lightly scribe over it, it might be enough to transfer to the paper
