Wow @GregS that is in amazing shape.  What did your burners look like?  Mine were actually in good shape but I'm guessing yours might be even better.  Also, I noticed there are only three of the wing nut tab things that hold the kettle to the pedestal....are there some missing or is that all that model appears to have had?  Mine has either 5 or 6.  Would love to find replacement parts for that.  Mine are rusted up bad.

@MikeRocksTheRed sorry so late getting back with you!  my burner has surface rust to it, but that's mostly it.  i believe mine only had the three wing nuts holding it to the pedestal.  i am considering dremeling them off and putting new ones in there, but it's not too wobbely at present since it's staying where it is.  i know my ocd will get the best of me though soon enough and i'll just put a three new bolts there with nuts.  it's def not the best design, having that heavy base connected to the bowl by three little screws.  I can see why they'd go to 5 or 6 on later models. 

but she's cooking well, we've used her a few times this summer out of convenience and it's tough to beat. 
I only use kettles with lid bales.
