Lol!  Me too! Way to go @SteveZ!  I know how much you like your Performers! Very very kind gesture!  I am getting ready to work on my first Performer Restore myself!  Can't wait!

@Lowbrass      I do like my Performers! I have a stock of parts if you need screws, grommets. endcaps, star nuts. I have 2 First Gen frames finished still apart that just need Decent Kettles. I'm a little picky about the Kettles.

Hey @SteveZ do you have the GRAY end caps for an SSP? I think my brother in law needs a set, and I don't want to set him up with the black ones because my understanding is that Weber used the gray on the kettle-end due to the heat?

Also on the hunt for a "spare" burner/igniter assembly. His won't light with the button, and I can't remove the rusted screw wire to just replace the igniter. At least I don't think I can with limited tools and time here while I'm in town. And I don't know if it's the button or the ground that's the issue and don't have time to diagnose.

P.S. I'm in O'Fallon 'till Friday.

@addicted-to-smoke David, good to hear from you! I just have a stock of Black. I don't see how the heat would affect them. Fresh out of spare burners, sorry I need to order one myself.

@SteveZ I may take you up on that.  This one is in really decent shape but if you have any generation 2 white walls, it could use a new white wall on one of the wheels.  If don't mind black kettles, I have a really nice black kettle that I am pulling out of the frame that you can have.  Once again, it is a 2nd generation. I'll PM you with pictures when I get home, because I did have something come up during the dismantle that I have a fix for but isn't original, maybe you have some knowledge.

I don't think that's a crimson. That looks like the old brick red color from around 2011 or 2012? I used to have that exact same Performer. I sold it to a fella way out west off I-70. I met him along the interstate and made the deal there.
