Today I picked up a free Genesis 1000 Redhead being given away on FB Marketplace. Here are some shots:

After taking the shelves off, lid off and loading in my car I was off to home for a closer inspection.

I did some preliminary test cleaning with Simple Green and 0000 steel wool. The lid looks pretty good along with the frame. Unfortunately I am pretty sure there is bad fading on the control panel. Not sure what to do about that. With the exception of a bad looking control panel, the grill looks pretty good. It will take some real work finishing all the wood but don't know what can be done about the control panel. Never seen one faded like this. Any thoughts out there?20251021_160020.jpg20251021_155938.jpg20251021_155928.jpg20251021_160044.jpg
 
Great pickup for free. It's unfortunate that the control panel is shot, but it happens a lot and there's nothing you can do about it. I have had some luck finding decent ones on eBay.
