Online listings seem to come in waves

[Cellar2ful]

Is there a memo I'm not getting? At the beginning of summer, there were a lot of redheads on CL. For the last month seemed like there was nothing but blue's on the Bay Area online listings. I had never seen any models like this one in online listings until this week.  This week there were three. One blue and two sage, including the one @mirkwood posted on Online Finds today.  This is the other sage that was posted this week and it is now in my arsenal, scored for $50. For color, other than Imperial Blue, this has to be my favorite color. Looks elegant yet stunning with a black and white ebony @zavod44 handle. It is a DH Code (2004). What was this model called?

After the clean up (I had to sand the table as it had rust stains from cans left on it during winter and the fiberglass table was really rough from sun exposure/bleaching)

I have seen a lot of sun bleached fiber glass tables, sanding works pretty good huh?

Nice find, Cellar, great job on the restore.

So, are you going to change your handle to @yard2ful ?     

It's a good thing no one else in the Bay Area want's any kettles. You've been on fire.

And they're all beautiful. I'm enjoying seeing my kettles at your place

I agree on the "waves". They definitely seem to happen in cycles.

Nice score on that one, and cleanup! I'm getting jealous over here!

That is a One Touch Platinum, or OTP. That handle is awesome.

*Yard2ful - ROTFL  you are hysterical Dazzo. Yes, I have been pretty fortunate.

@LightningBoldtz- Yes, the sanding worked real good.  By sanding to remove the rust stain, I found the area I sanded was real smooth compared to the rest of the table.  I just went for it and sanded the whole table with fine emery cloth. Finished it with #0000 steel wool. Real smooth now compared to when I picked it up.  What brought the color back was an application of a product called 303 Protectant. It is a water based marine/aerospace product for plastics, marine vinyl and fiberglass.  It has fantastic UV protection. Also used it on the bottom grey plastic cross supports of the table and the wheels.

Awesome, we should do a write up on this @Troy and @SixZeroFour

Great idea.
Maybe yard2ful wants to write it?

@Cellar2ful It this something that you could help with we could put it in the Restore category.  That is a great find, I see that all the time on gassers and gen 2 performers.

VERY NICE, and great clean up!!!

Wow! What a fine looking kettle. That sage is such a cool color. Sadly, I've never seen it in person.

[Neil_VT00]

Great looking grill. I love those Sage OTPs.

@Cellar2ful 303 Protectant is one of my favorites to have in the garage.  I use it exclusively on my cars (dash, trim, etc.). Good idea to use it on your table and cross bars.

@LightningBoldtz & @Troy - Sure guys. I would be honored  to contribute to an article on the restoration. With all the knowledge I have gleaned from the WKC restoration links, it would be nice to be able to give back. Thanks.  Will someone PM me with guidelines?
