Good Day from down under! I picked up my new kettle today, couldn't be more pleased. No chips, very little scratching (light). As a bonus the lady had all the original manuals and a cookbook which came with it. While a kettle of this age would be common place in North America I'm finding collecting kettles over here scarce to say the least. I have tried to track down the first year Webers were sold in New Zealand but very little info exists. I will need to do a rust removal job from the triangle, scrub up the vents mostly just built up cooking gunk.
Only major problem I can see is the leg without the wheel keeps falling out of its hole, seems very loose in its stay for some reason. Any ideas on how to make for a snug fit
