Hello everyone. the house I just moved into has a VC Intrepid II model 1303 (1987) stove in the living room. When I took the back plate off the cat is non existent...I'm thinking just burned away since the previous homeowner probably never maintained it. I was going to just buy a new cat but it looks to me that some of the fireproof material that holds the cat in place an provides the chamber may be damaged. Problem is I can't find any pics of what it is supposed to look like. If anyone has any pics if they could post them that would be greatly appreciated.
