Grey M code Refurb
« on: July 23, 2014, 05:19:28 PM »
We've been driving past this one on our way to the cabin since who knows when. Doreen says, "Hey, that looks like a grey one!", but we shrug it off thinking it's like 99% of all the other old faded black ones that have fooled us in the past. Next time driving by we take a closer look and realize that maybe this is the real thing. I swing and chat with the old guy. He says, "If I sold it I wouldn't have a 'back-up' for that one." (referring to a gasser on his deck). So a couple weeks later I swing in on our way to the cabin and offer him a trade for the only thing I had available - a black MBH that had cleaned up nicely. He points to it and smiles and says, "An even-up trade for THAT? Why it looks almost new!". Deal done.

Here's the black MBH that I traded, along side the grey M code:


The clean up:



Original ash sweep. (kidding  ;))




All original except Brian handles and new 7409 ash sweep and leg cap. I still need to find and ash pan for it. Also, I think darker handles might look nice. I may have to purchase another set from Brian and try a darker stain this time.

Congrats and nice clean up. Put an H clip in there. You never know what might pop up that only the 7409 will fit in.

Great job on the rescue/restore Dale it turned out amazing. As for the handles... I think they are perfect and wouldn't touch a thing! Very nice
