Long time lurker, first time poster. First off--I've become somewhat obsessed with Weber Kettles since finding the Weber this post is about at the local dump. I lifted the lid and noticed it was considerably heavier then the lid on my modern 2011 model kettle. That piqued my interest so I threw it in the back of the ol' truck--since that time I've bought 2 other vintage kettles and am actively looking for different colors, models etc...aaaannd my wife wants to punch me in the face.
Here's my question, are these rotisserie brackets on this grill (which I believe is a 1984 based on this site's info on dating) an original Weber add on, a special weber model, or just somebody rigging up aftermarket stuff to the kettle? If they are original, I want them to be part of my restoration, if they are someone's jerry-rigged add on, I'm inclined to removed them as part of my restoration.
Secondarily, if they are a original Weber part, does anyone know which rotisserie kit (skewer/motor) is appropriate for this set up?
Thanks in advance for any insight on this matter.
