Found a non-gas SSP near me, so I decided I would finally pull the trigger on a project I first gave thought to last year after picking up a Sage One Touch Platinum.

Original:


Stage 1: Painted Table, updated lid bale, dark grey handle:


Stage 2: SSP Transplant:


Stage 3:  Red Limited Edition


Stage 4:  C&B Green (Now with gas-assist)


Stage 5:  DI code Blue with Simpsons Handle


Stage 6: Ivory Master Touch


Bonus points if you noticed that I also switched up the SSP frame to bat left-handed.  Things I like about the upgrade: 1) The charcoal bin.  It's much bigger in person than in pictures; 2) the little tray that fits where the propane tank would hang--perfect spot for lighter cubes; 3) Sturdiness.  Feels rock solid.  Much easier to move with the built-in handles.; 4) Stainless.  Steel.

Now, if there was only a use for a One Touch Platinum Cart . . .

I'm curious, what do OTPs go for? There is one for sale near me for $85 and seems like a good price. It looks to be in pretty good condition and it's already been cleaned up. Any advice?

It will depends on the color and your color preference. I wouldn't mind spending over $100 for a sage in great condition but probably wouldn't spend over $20 for a black.

Put a side panel on both sides and you'll have a switch hitter. All my ssp's have panels on both side.

I'm not sure there's enough of them out there to get a reliable "market price."  I picked mine up for $50. Not sure if I would have pulled the trigger at $85.

There are two near me, one green and one blue. Both look to be in pretty good condition, but I already have a green kettle and I'm partial to blue.

That sage looks 100x better to me in that ssp frame.  Nice job.

Nice mod! How hard is it to get that aftermarket lid bale from Weber if you don't have a gen4?

Part no. is 65188.  I just called Weber and ordered by part no.  They never asked if I had a gen4.  I never told them I didn't have one.
