holy grail score and resto

Great Job! Thanks for sharing.

[Golly]

Thanks fellas

Next question is
To fire up
You need to press the red button to allow gas flow
Then push the ignigtor
When releasing red button flame goes out gas is cut
Should this red button/ valve staying open
How?
It's faulty?
Please point me in the direction of the schematic and part numbers please

[Jocool]

Isn't there a sense wire that sits in the flame to tell the valve that the flame is lit?

I just got my ss performer so I am definitely not an expert but, I don't have the red button. I turn on the gas and press the igniter. This is the first I have seen any other button. Could that be unique to Australia?

do the white walls just pop out with a screw driver? i like the idea of the red walls...did you just paint and pop back into place? forgive me i am new to the restoring/customization portion

i used the butt of a chisel to "pop"the ring out slightly doing 1 then the next etc...
then turned wheel over and this time with the danger end of the chisel slightly levered it fully out
this job requires a bit of patience as the whitewalls want to crack
remember stay away from the "weber"with your chisel

I am happy to share with everyone I am now the proud owner of this fine grill. I was offered it by Golly as he knows I'm a fan of the readheads so I snapped it up. Seeing how this Performer started out I consider myself very fortunate to have it given the amazing work Golly has put into it. I have already cooked a pork belly on it and it will be getting another workout this weekend.

Will take some photos of it shortly with the rest of the family.

Many thanks again Golly for this score.
