Picked this up for $20 tonight. Will get better pictures (during the day :) ) on the weekend.
The first blue kettle in my possession! :)

It is an H code and came with a tool holder.

And a nice delivery in the mail yesterday - one set aside for Golly. :)

The kettle needs a bloody good clean and a bit of work on the lid. There is a dent on the lip that stops the lid closing properly. Twist ash pan should be salvageable too.
Ken
Good work Ken
Great to see you got that blue
Do I get a prize for guessing the vent code correctly?? ;)
1986 must of been a big year for Weber in OZ
Cheers Joel. Picked it up on the way home from work.
A prize? How about my admiration? ;)
It's a really dark blue too.
Ken
Glad to see you picked up a blue Ken!
Thanks Terry. It took a while. :)
I think the kettle collection is good now until some vintage colored grills come along. Fingers crossed for a Ranger some day!
Looking for a vintage SJ, hopefully an offset handle. They are a bit easier to find space for. :)
Ken
Oh I know all about loving the SJs for storage space! That's why I have so many of them :)
Congratulations, Kendoll, I'm glad you finally found your blue! Look forward to seeing it all shined up. :D
Glad you got one Ken!
Congrats Ken! Looks like a beauty too!
"my kettle is more powerful it will do almost anything."
Nice to see you finally got your blue kettle! Clean her up. :D ;)
is this good enough for the kendoll collection? sounds like its a keeper 8)
eye spy a condiment rack that has my name on it ??? 8)
20 bucks is a good score! I'd love to add a blue kettle to the blue Performer collection. :)
Thanks all. Yeah it looks pretty good. Got it from a Spanish couple who were moving from Sydney to Melbourne.
It needs a damn good clean, looks like they started to clean the inside of the lid and gave up. I also managed to get it home withough taking the legs off and with it FULL of heatbeads. :o

Golly, yeah,
I think so. ;)
Yes indeed. Did you want me to send it up with Jase or just bring it in a couple of weeks?

I would LOVE to add a blue performer full stop! I have never even seen one in the flesh.
Ken
Congratulations! That looks to be a nice one too!
Congrats on a great score!
