Awesome! Youv'e earned your patch! 

Maybe we need to replace the the honor system with a patch system. I think that would be cooler than Olympian and such. I would like to get Troy's opinion.

How do you date these?

Great score and nicely played
I'd say that model is from 81-84
Lid vents, base and timber handles all match the standard model in the 81 catalog
They were then discontinued in 84 to make way for the genesis
There should be a letter stamped into the venturi bar

Idahawk, you are on FIRE!  Nice work on this one.  I've been anxiously waiting to see what the outcome would be. 

[Idahawk]

So where exactly can I find this date code ? Is this it ?

So far it's the only number I have located .

[Idahawk]

Cleaned the tag up found it I assume ?

G = 1985

Does it work?  What happened?  How did it go down?  Are there pictures?  COME ON!  I'm not talking about those tiny serial numbers either....

G=Gas I think
That number in not sure of , I'll cross reference it with the other numbers I have
Above the part with the number is the Venturi pipe which is the cylinder
At the base of that pipe is a letter stamped into the pipe probably an 'A'

There has been no definitive way to date anything pre 1979. I wouold guess its early to nid 70's.
Nice grab, er steal, err score, great deal! Hope it works and enjoy.

Reilly has a Weber dated 79. It is on a thread here. Hope the guts are o.k. Looks like your missing the gas and direct/indirect knobs..

Nice Save! 

[Golly]

The knobs from the genesis range all fit albeit some have a long stem

Wasn't there some guy on Chicago CL selling the column for this kettle a while back?
