Seems the blue lids have quite a following here. I bet if one of these guys was close to you they'd come and grab it! The red lids aren't my absolute favorite but I do like them and also have them coming out of my ears and I think that they very much look the historical Weber part. I've been lucky enough to find the stuff that I've been looking for so far. I'm lucky in that I don't seem to have much competition when it comes to picking up these old webers. They kind of just sit there until I'm ready to pick them up about nine times out of 10. Washington State and Arizona are the places I pick from but primarily Washington and atleast anywhere near my area is very much a throwaway society. If it's old it automatically means it's no good. The older I get the more my thinking is the reverse of this and I've come to very much appreciate older things that were built right and built to last. I think it's pretty cool that I can restore a 30 to 40 year old barbecue that will out live and outlast me.

Just can't get excited about Silver B's. Great grills though.
I would make that trade in a heartbeat as long as I don't have to drive to Madison to do it!
Lots of rich folks there. Many sooner put something in the trash or give away before lifting a finger to make it last
Even Rockford is a fifty plus mile drive west of me.
Where do you see the lid as being wrecked? It is smeared and dirty, but I don't see any real damage.
True, although I had a guy there with a Skyline that I really wanted. He wouldn't come down from his $200 asking price so I took a pass on that one.
It does look like the porcelain is gone in that lower right corner, but it probably is just grease buildup.
