I've kind of passed on a few over the years, but I picked up an older style Green 22".
The bowl is in bad shape. I got it primarily for the frame, but a restoration could be a possibility?
Looking around the site I'm not seeing a lot of info on them. I know folks have them.
What years were they in circulation?
What colors are out there?
Give me some direction, before things get weird!
-
I have a 2001 black, in pretty good shape.
-
Mine was an 01 black too. I lovingly referred to it as the poor mans performer. Served well until I got my hands on a performer. Biggest negative was low height IMO but table was still handy.
-
So long as the kettle doesn't fall out of the frame or coals don't drop out of the bottom just cook on it until that happens. Never seen a green one; here's an example of the Brick (is that correct?) I found online:

Plum was an available kettle color in those days and I want to say it may have also been offered in this style too?
-
I have two, one i replaced the table on one and the other i swapped the bowl (green) with the one on the non GA SS Performer (red) I need to fix the crack in the table and clean and paint the frame.

We like it weird...

Longtime member, @One Touch Platinum , does some amazing and impressive cooks on his.
I haven't seen him on here much lately … Worth searching some of his cook-ups.

The OTP is what I learned everything I know about cooking on a Weber

I have a mint blue 18. Cool little dude.
-
I have a 2002 black OTP was my everyday cooker until I got my 1999 red ss performer.
-
It's a DD -2000. The lid is in remarkable condition and will clean up nicely. Table top and frame supports are solid, no cracks.

Bottom wire shelf is solid but rusty under the One Touch system.

The bowl - well it speaks for itself! I've seen some disasters, but the rust out and grate holders are something else!

There have been a few 22" OTP's pop up on Seattle/CL recently in the $30-$60 range, linger for a while and disappear, a couple have been posted as much as $150 with a weekly 5 buck price drop, all blackies. Only other colors I recall ever seeing were Black, Blue and Green.
Time to get weird!
-
I see what you mean. Could always peel away the grate holders, patch with some steel plate and drill 8 holes in the bowl, with nuts/bolts to hold the grates. Wouldn't do anything for longevity but would get it cookin' again.
-
One Touch Platinum kettles were made from 2000-2004 then discontinued. Then they were redesigned and reintroduced in 2010. The second generation models stood much taller: A whopping 35" inches tall! Also, the lid tilted back like a gasser. The only Weber charcoal grill with this design (except for the RK). The second generation OTP ran three model years from 2010-2012. These are very rare as they were only produced for three years and very few ever sold.
-
I like the original OTP as well.as the 2nd OTP. the grate straps look like they may be useable. .maybe a slight tap here and there to get them lined up. I found this putty to use on my Ranch around the grate straps...says drinking water safe so i used it...so far so good. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160324/537100832167049dd19438222b6a72c8.jpg)

I'm thinking RED also....
-
I'm fairly certain by 2000 red was no longer produced. I have a sweet blue OTP and I love it. But man if I could find an 18 that would be killer!

My Green OTP (DT) with custom @zavod handle is my go to grill. I just love it.

I've seen a few Blue 18" OTP's around, but I was always too late

@Scott Zee that blue OTP is a thing of beauty.
-
I do appreciate my OTP.

I think that it is the perfect platform for a rotisserie ring or a stacker.

@swamprb
I love my OTP's I have Green, Blue, Black, and a "Shoestringshop Custom Dual Black" But I have restored a black for family that looked almost like yours but without the holes. I would keep it and make it into a Cooker first and Looker second but I would keep it. :D
Craigslist Add Picture of the one for family...A WKC members even said "I saw this grill on CL and thought that'd it would never clean up, I was was wrong. Great job!! "

So your question "is there a Platinum Appreciation group here??" I would say yes for a lot of different reasons The main being if you have one you really don't let them go!

Found my blue! Table is busted. I'll use the best parts of the two, and move the other on.
