Good hunting fellas!

@wreck | fish  Whats town are you in...maybe we can get you some help?
Thanks. I'm in Berkeley California.  A red MT slipped thru my fingers yesterday.  Hope it found a good home!

I'll keep at it!

@wreck | fish Heres one in San Jose. It should be free I think.

Thanks HFG.  I think that is a member's kettle as well.  The original posting had some WKC T Shirts as part of the package!  Hope someone picks that up.  A bit too far for me unless it was a redhead!
Thanks again.

Picked up this N code today, my first kettle so I guess I'm officially part of the club. Got to fix one of the leg sockets and it's missing a bowl vent. I'll post some pictures once I get it cleaned up.

Lets just say I have acquired a few Kettles.  Big and small.   Vintage and New...  Some say I have a problem.  I find the Kettle, buy the Kettle, USE the Kettle...No problem...

Got this last night for $10.  Looked great until I turned it upside down.  The sockets needed some desperate help and one pulled right off the bowl when I tried to remove the leg.  I was even being extra careful!  Should be a fun restore with the help of some stainless steel bolts and washers.  My first 18"!

Thanks Hell Fire, just updated my profile. I'm down in Houston, Texas. The restore on this is under way, hopefully will be able to fire it up soon as long as the we don't get too much rain this weekend.
