Red MBH w/ full wood table
« on: April 08, 2016, 02:47:50 PM »
This was listed over on the Online Find forum...I'd seen it myself via CL searches because I was driving to Indy and OF COURSE I looked along the route In Search Of Weber treasure.  ;D

Instead of calling right away I delayed a couple of days and the seller said there was a guy ahead of me, and that he would let me know. Turns out the first guy only wanted the table (same here, really) and I guess offered less than the $40 asking price, so I agreed to buy both for the $40. The plan was I would call when an hour from his home, which was only 15 mins off my trail. I did so but got no answer. I waited about 10 mins. (I had another 4 hrs to Indy) then went on my way, figuring it was a failed deal. Next gas stop I found two messages from him, called him, and we set up to meet on my return trip, a few days later, and that's what happened.

He bought the grill and table from the original owners at a yard sale a few years ago, and had plans to refinish the table and spiffy up the grill, but ended up buying a Performer and left the grill/table alone.

The kettle/lid are far from pristine and slightly out of round The lid handle has the lean. The table needs a refinish and the set screws that hold the legs are missing. I assume it uses set screws. Overall, though, it's all solid and not too bad at all.

Nice pickup, @charred ! If you decide you don't want the kettle, you may want to hang onto the flat edge ash pan… also, those wheels are in grate shape!

The table needs a refinish and the set screws that hold the legs are missing. I assume it uses set screws. Overall, though, it's all solid and not too bad at all.

The table legs are held on using thumb screws. Here is a good thread to help you with the table restore.

Man even with all the "beauty marks" that's a great find! The table alone is worth what you paid.

@charred - the guy ahead of you who wanted just the table and backed out was me.  Sounded like the owner as willing to ship the table to WI, but I backed out after seeing the splitting corner.  I figure if I was going to pay extra to ship, the table needed to be in really good condition. Anyhow, glad to see you got the table.

Look what I stumbled upon last night on CL!  BNIB table!  Just picked up a few min ago.
