Quick update. Disassembled and cleaned. Cleaned up nice per the usual. Lid was kindof a bitch to get straight since the slits, pull one way everything is out of wack again. But im pretty close to perfect. I fear the lid handle doesnt have much longer its super weak. I do have a spare taco lid handle.... we'll see. Cleaned up the handles came out alright. Added new hardware to the base and what holds the bowl to the pedistal. Its weird how some of these old girls fade differently the bowl, lid and pedistal are all different.
Now the hard stuff. It was NG. Pulled that whole system out. Nothing was re usable everything is seazed and badly corroded.
I have already decided the original 2 zone style is out. Going to use aftermarket universal parts to lego fab a new LP system on the inside. I can see it all in my head i just have to put it togeather.
The goal is for this to be my quick burgers or steaks high heat low fuss grill. And that being said i might actually go the GBS or stok route .
Side note, almost tossed the "charcoal" lower grate, good thing i didnt. Its 19 inches across and not the standard 22 size because it sits about 2 inches higher than normal.
