Hello
Well, I picked up the US stove 5660s big brother. The Hudson River WestPoint.
The body is in very good condition. It is a nice charcoal gray color. The room blower and the exhaust blower work fine. The ash pan is on the small side for a stove with a 3 bag hopper. The ignitor works fine. The control panel and the burn pot seem to be the major issues.
I did get a newer modified burn pot with the slats at the bottom so the ash can drop thru. The back flange is also bent back so the pellet will not fall behind the burn pot. See original and modified pots below.
So is this good enough or is any gasket needed?

Pic 3 & 4 = Modified Burn Pot - back lip is bent back and slat pattern along bottom
