That's a nice looking Master Touch; looks to be in good shape. How much are they asking for it?

Heading to pick it up in a few minutes. He said he would take $45. Hopefully it is in good condition.

Beautiful Red MT, enjoy!   Question when did they change the lid rollers on the bail from metal to this style? @Craig @pbe gummi bear

Thanks everyone.  Ironically enough, I only found out what a Master Touch was about a year ago:
http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/weber-kettles-accessories/please-don't-tar-and-feather-me/msg101415/#msg101415
I also never expected to see one down here in Texas.  We have a lot of black OTS, but few colored Webers.

This place has been great.  Thanks to everyone who has offered help and advice. 

Of course, my friends and family all think I am crazy since I currently have 9 different Weber grills.  I just tell them I have a new hobby.  And to enjoy the food from the grill.

Run, don't walk to get it for $50

Go to jail - Go directly to jail - Do not pass go - Do not collect $200...or something like that. $50 is a steal!

If you mean to the modern rollers then sometime  around 1999-2000ish?

@Red Kettle Rich What is a black insulating handle and where do you get one? Any pics of yours?
