Hello...recent inheritance
« on: August 06, 2019, 01:22:38 PM »
Hello from Chicagoland!

So I recently inherited this beauty....it's a little rough, but I'd like to save it.

Biggest problem is that it's missing a leg socket...any suggestions on where to find a new socket or how to make something?

Thanks!

Welcome to the club!!!

Greetings from Greendale, WI.  That’s a sweet kettle to inherit.  As far as a leg socket, you might have to be patient if you’re looking for a matching Cado socket.  In the meantime, you could use a black leg socket (painted to match, or not).  Good luck with the resto.

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

Welcome.  I have some detached sockets with the legs still seized inside.  They’re not avocado, but they’re yours if you want them.

Welcome from Doraville,ga nice inheritance  you will have to be patient for sure to get a matching socket, find a donor any color and get that sweet grill on her feet and cooking

Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

Nice! Welcome from the south suburbs of Chicago. Keep us posted on the restoration. @potsieweber has a donor kettle for some sockets in the meantime.

I swear, when I score a great deal on a 26" I'll stop buying grills... So often.

Yeah just bolt a black leg socket on there, then if you ever find a cado you can swap it out or weld the cado one on.

And welcome from Kansas. I made a 6.5 hour road trip for my avacado
