Title: NIB 1990s 1st gen Black MT - should I buy? Advice please
Post by: Therustysaw on July 21, 2017, 10:58:17 AM
Hey guys, I stumbled on a 1990s Masters Touch, with wooden handles, still in the box, never opened. It's just a black one.   Seller told me he would take $90 for it.  I already have plenty of cookers, I usually try to find colored kettles, but out here in rural northern Utah, I don't seem to run across too many.  Where this is a brand new one, I was wondering what you guys thought about the price? Let me know what you think, please.

Nib 1990's master touch for less than a black one touch silver at Walmart. It should be in your trunk already.😊👍

I wouldn't hesitate. Price is more than fair, especially considering it's NIB.

Everyone loves NIB kettles. Even if you don't need/want it you can always use it to trade.

Get it but then put a taco handle on it.  Makes a big difference when keeping the handle cool [emoji6]

I got it! The seller felt bad because the box looked like shit, and when I opened the sealed box, there was a small dime sized chip on the very edge of the lid lip opposite side of the thermometer. Also, the seller apologized because they thought it was black, but it was blue! Beautiful blue!! She asked if I still wanted it, and that she would drop the price to $50, since she received the grill in lieu of a $50 payment 21 years ago. So, I came home with a NIB Blue "ER" code (1996) Master-Touch this afternoon. I polished up the legs with some Mother's aluminum polish before I assembled it, and changed out all the fastener hardware with stainless steel nut, bolts, and washers. It's a great addition to the family.

   @Therustysaw I read where the MT's came with a condimemt rack and cover, is the cover an ordinary cover or a special MT cover. Take some pics of the cover and show us please.

No condiment rack or cover. The lid is just a normal lid except no hook on the inside.
