old cabin wood burner

This is the wood, coal, etc...multi fuel burner we have in our cabin. It has been left idle for perhaps the last 10 years. Today I cleaned it out and it looks like it's in good condition but it does need some TLC and repair parts, such as new gasketing, and those fiber (??) soft bricks that line the bottom of the box. Also one of the glass fronts is broken, but seems usable.

I know Wernock -Hersey is a testing lab for heaters. These are best picts I could get. Not very clear. It looks like a an Intrepid H1308 upper number is WH001540 made by Vermont Casting, Inc.

Can anybody tell me if this is a quality unit and if parts are available? I have as not yet tried doing a GOOGLE search. What can anybody tell me about this unit?

If you do a close up of the pic you can make out model numbers.

I'm not much of an expert on wood stoves just looking around.

i was checking on Vermont Casting site and the list the Intrepid as gas fired and the Intrepid II as a wood burner. Pretty strange to use the same model name for both.

What kind of parts do you expect to need? most replaceable items are generic.

The door gasket is easily replaced. I don't know about the glass. Unless the brick are missing they aren't likely to be an issue.
