New restification Weber Genesis 1000 LX "Maroon head"

I was lucky enough to have a truck available the day we drove past a Weber Genesis 1000LX sitting out for the trash. I did not take many pictures of its condition before, but I will add some as I go and clean it up. It is in excellent shape, only parts missing were the burners, knobs, and some of the locknut and bracket for the tank scale. All of which I am thinking someone came by before me and snagged those parts.

Unfortunately this one doesn't have any ID numbers left on the decal.

I did find the stamped numbers in the bottom of the firebox when I tore the grill apart. Does anyone know how to decipher these stampings?

There are 8 dots out of 12 spaces with a 99 in the middle. Maybe means August of 1999?

you are correct.... August of 1999

I was not aware that the dot count was for the # of months.

Dan,
Do you know what the A3 and other markings to the right of the circled 99 mean by chance?

No Idea on the A3 Might be some sort of foundry designation. The other marking is quite common in castings to designate when a product is manufactured. I've seen it on fire helmets in the past as well.
