Just thought I would post. I think I remember several talk about these in the past, and this one looks to be in good condition.
This is the large one - 70's vintage. Even has the ring for hanging your towel.

Damn I really want this but it's got a bid on it already and probably going to get out of my price range soon.
"my kettle is more powerful it will do almost anything."
Here are a couple of pics from the auction. The remnants of the box indicate the part number WT-18.

I am sure it will climb, but is always good to see if someone here might want to try to snatch it up.
I like buying on Craigslist - if its on ebay there is too much competition from crazy weber collectors (WKC members) 8)
don't want to step on toes...anyone bidding???
never mind...someone REALLY wants it, more than I do...
I put a bid in the other day and forgot about it. It would look nice with my brown 26'r. I hope it doesn't go too high.

Are you the high bidder now?
Yes, if I win my plan for this is to set it up with my old 26'r and take a picture in some vintage clothing for a calendar Marty is putting together. I would try and display some other vintage grills and accessories around me. I even have a good friend that might be willing to play the part of Georges good friend. He looks just like him. :D
Well then I will not be bidding, that is a killer table, good luck, I need a table but I think I am going with a stainless kitchen prep table
Danny
Sounds awesome duke. Good luck.
Don't forget the period lighter fluid!

This I've got to see. ;D
I need to go to the local good will to find some 70s clothes for a throwback cookout. I don't give a rats what my neighbors say.
Thanks Danny and Kaz! I think attempting to recreate an old catalog picture would be really cool. I plan to put a lot of cool items and several grills around. Maybe drop a huge roast on the 26'r. One thing I guarantee is that AJ will be in it. I'm thinking in the background cooking on one of his rare grills. I might even work my wife and son into the act. :D
You WE should find one of those big 70s table umbrellas with the big white frilly fringe tips on them like in the catalog. I didn't know you were looking at doing this. It sounds like a blast! 8)
Yeah it would be pretty cool. Let's make this happen!
all i can think now is yankee version of grilling in the pool :o
So, which one is it going to be guys? 64? 72? 73? Other?

Kind of makes me want to visit a Salvation Army store today...
73! I know where you can get a reasonable facsimile SJ. ;)

I know where there is a bbq buddy for sale for sale. ;)

Maybe we could do an Aussie style catalog shoot like this
(http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/q585/joelhogston/9931B959-A1FC-4FF7-9F41-51722CA31798-6137-0000071472B80B36_zpse0c15808.jpg)
I think we have all the kettles in the shot between us
I've gotta say the pool scene was much more enjoyable though
There is something very disconcerting about those corn and spud rings when they are fully loaded. :)

I'm liking this better all the time. Look who stopped by Duke's place for a Meetup!
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7369/9281967925_b6823eca7a_z.jpg)
Members will be BEGGING to be a part of this shoot! Bonus points for guessing all the faces here.
I could do an 18.5 version of the '64 catalog. Except my work table is from '72-'73. I could change the kettles wheels and carefully pose it without thumbscrews...

Shaun, Joel, Lawrence on gasser, Jeff popping a squat, and.......???
Duke I see your next avatar...... This is so you!! 8)
Haa that's freaking Great!!! My wife almost pissed her self laughing, She had to cross her legs and then ran upstairs Laughing the whole way!!!
Marty that's priceless :o ;D ;D
This needs to go on the front page of the site! This is awesome!! ;D
Classic.
That might be some of the funniest shit I have seen! Crazy thing is that Lawrence actually looks like belongs in the original picture!
Masterful work Marty ;D ;D.....that's good stuff.
I can't stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!! :o ;D I will respond when I get my composure back..............
Hey Gumms nice pants! ;D
This is worthy of a front page of the site article... The summer of WKC!
Ah Marty you crack me up...
Now that I am composed again I should let you all know I have been outbid. I was outbid this morning and decided to up it just to see if the other bidder would try and outbid me. I could go higher, but it's a particle board table and I could make a really nice one out of solid wood for a fraction. So if anyone wants to pay over 150 go for it. My original plan was to just make one, so I will be copying it only it will be wider for my 26'r. I am also going to figure out how to add the metal around the edge.
Thanks for all of the help and support you all gave.
Still no guess as to the mysterious fifth man - the one in the background?

Lawrence definitely steals the show in this. I can not describe it exactly, but the pose and his sunglasses and expression are straight out of a bad 70s cop\gangster flick. I love it.

No doubt! He looks like he's just waiting for someone to step out of line. 8)
For those interested, I uploaded a full size version so you can print one out. Just right-click on the photo here and look for "Original" and you can download it. Agree with the Gummi comments, it's like Starsky and Hutch all over again. ;D

Now that looks awesome! :D I'm setting mine up like that.
Those 2 shelves under the table are those supposed to come with the table? They look as if they should?
I laugh every time I come back to this thread.
You guys are crazy, now thats funny. Just saw it now. You know, I actually DO sit like that! LOL I can recreate some of these photos you know, I have the gear, just need some clothes! But I guess why bother....its already been done!
Oh no Jeff, you gotta be a part of the recreation now. Duke, when and where is this going to happen? We know Gummi will be there - red pants and all. We need everyone in Cali to contribute. Plenty of props to assemble. Left coasters - get busy!
Team Cali!
Although, I got rid of my platform shoes looong ago :o

Im getting my moneys worth out of it. Its currently out back hooked on the '75 Texan. I treat that work table better than my wifes coffee table. ;D
Im still on the hunt for an exact replacement top leg cap (the metal ones) I've come close, but not exact.
My guess is the Lone Ranger. I was watching the time run out. Someone jumped the price up by ~$40.00 in the last 5 seconds.

It certainly sounds like him. We'll find out sooner or later. ;)
