Vermont Castings ?model

[sandie]

HI, New to the forum and lots of questions one of which I already asked but I "inherited" a Vermont Castings Resolute Wood stove but do not know the model number. It was bought around 1985 and had TWO front doors, black and I think enamel but need to clean it a little more. I already asked about the two ?dampers one on top and the other on bottom and their use.
I am reading alot here about people replacing Refractories, side walls etc. I looke and it looks fine but do not have a clue at what I am looking for. It worked fine the last time it was used about 10 years ago when the built a new home and bought a bigger VC stove. The guy who is installing it says it looked ok to him but truth be known he did not look much at it or maybe he knows what to look for and he says it is fine.
Where do I find a users manual for it and what model it is with the two doors?
Thanks in advance and will check back for answers.

Does the Resoluite of 1985 have an ash collection tray, if so I can not find it but want to know to make sure it is totally closed, I am concerned that the handle might be missing like some of hte other little handle things but if there is a ash container I need to know. It is the two door model and bought I believe late 1985 or early 1986.
