Very nice!  It came with the roti, eh? Even better!  How much did it cost you?

Yeah it's put together wrong. That's a nice plum...not to be confused with burgundy! :)

Nice looks like you got some work ahead of you. Get it cleaned up and assembled correctly then post some more pics. Its missing the front panel it isn't stainless but is where the badge nameplate goes. Of course it might be on the backside the panel since it is assembled backwards.

Definitely a plum...nice score, I think that may be my favorite out of the colors for the SS performers.

Very nice. You will love the ROT.  I say my SS Performer like yours is maroon.  ;)

the seller at the time did not have the motor, however he said his girlfriend has it in the garage and he will contact me if he does find it.  I won't keep my hopes up. I will be looking for a motor.

I spoke with zork over the phone last night about his blue platinum he is selling and this particular kettle and roti setup. He said the roti setup is missing the motor. But it does look like he scored one of the basket attachments with it. He said he jumped on this pretty quick within minutes of it being posted. Also let him now that I thought Ron would probably be interested in his blue platinum. I pm'd Ron yesterday but have not heard back from him yet.

I know Kris had been looking at that Platinum originally for a family friend.  Wonder if he ever found one.

Nope. Found a 22 OTG Blue in great shape for the same price paid for the Platinum. Thanks for thinking of me G$!

There are actually multiple colors of this shade.

Pics don't tell a lie! This is Jeff's Burgundy MT lid on the right and Terry's whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-call-it purply 18 on the left.
