Back in November I spotted this little yellow on CL. I reached out to the seller and an agent in Portland (my 70+ Mom) and got the details arranged. Mom picked it up and informed me of how bad of shape she was in. No bottom vents, one leg socket completely off, the other two were pretty shot. She sent off a few pics. I didn't care, this was my first yellow! Fast forward to February and Mom comes to Seattle, drops it off. The poor little yellow is hammered and seen better days... but I was determined to get her upright and cooking again. I quickly realized attaching the leg sockets was above my skill set, I reached out to @swamprd who graciously offered to help. The legs, triangle and wheels needed to be replaced as well... the only thing the yellow had going for it was it's lid. @Cellar2full was kind enough to offer the legs, triangle, and wheels. Ordered new bottom vents, Brian did an amazing job getting the sockets on... all I needed to do now was to clean her up and get her cooking... which I did yesterday. Meet 'nana an ode to my agent Mom... thanks for looking!

I've been trying to figure out what is going on there in those pics. Are those some sort of rivets going through the tabs of the leg sockets?
