Anyone own an Appalachian Stove?

[dnf0929]

I was just offered a Model 36 which is probably 20 years old but still looks in really good shape so I'm hoping I get it up and running to use in the basement this winter. Looks like I'm going to have to track down something they call a transition duct because the opening in the top of the stove is a long narrow rectangular shape which then apparently goes to an 8" pipe.

Anybody own one of these units? If so where is a good place to get parts online? I don't know where it was purchased but according to the company they don't sell parts and my closest dealer is Rhode Island which is 3 hours away.

Thanks for any advice.
