Got two Hot Boxes in a Buyout.

Both are purpose built hotboxes.

1st one is Hexagon Shaped, Very nice but missing some parts. Inside it has a plate with a sheriff's badge and says "Desperado" Can anyone out me in contact with who made this and where to get parts?

2nd one, Retangler Box, it works buy missing the heating knob. Not too big of deal, but I'm curious of the knob had a temp range, or just low, med, hot? If I can identify who made it, that would help.

Also the copper heating element only goes about 3rd of the way, is that normal?

Pictures posted of both

The hexagon one is a Desperado.
The 2nd looks like an older Jones, It has the same spring pan setup that my Jones did.
 
some knobs had temp on them . should monitor it any way , its anolog/ rheostsat.
Always likes the desparado . looks like it needs a motor heat strip and control .
pellet stove motor . works good .heat strips simple conltroler digital is nice but anolog works as well .
