I found a local MBH that was just begging me to come to the rescue. The best I can tell it's a 1973, it has a patent number on the vent and also has full plastic wheels.
I gave her a rough clean up, straightened out the lid, fixed all three of my three wheels, straightened out the Ashe pan, and dropped in a new cooking grate.
I bought the steal wool to knock down the outside to make it shiny again but I just can't bring myself to do it. It just looks like it has lived a good life.
The grill was a one owner and hasn't been used in several years. The gentlemen got into an accident and he lost the use of both arms and legs. He has since turned vegan and just decided to sell the grill. I asked him what his favorite meal to have when he was still cooking and he said steak and corn. So that will be my family's first meal.
I can see why rescuing these old grills gets to be such an addiction. You get to meet great people and see the life of the grill continue. I see no reason why this grill will not make it to be passed on to one of my boys (already been claimed).
Here's some pics
