We use a very similar stove in our kitchen. No insulation either. Any good sources for parts. Ours has never had the drawer under the burners. Also, the spring steel latch on broiler door broke and haven't been able to find a replacement. Currently using magnets to hold it in place.

I don't see asbestos as a problem. According to my BIL it's still sold for insulating hot pipes.
