Hello all......
First question that I actually asked before but dont remember getting a straight answer on........ Can a grill that has a handle that says Silver on it.....be called or considered a 1000? So is it a Genesis Silver 1000? I have only done a 3000 of this vintage...most of my flippers are Silver b's. No stickers on this old grill....but it is a deep box 13 bar.
Next question..........and I will give a clue if that helps. I bought this from another flipper guy about a year a go and I am finally getting around to it. When I picked it up from him the right side was boogered up....as in the plastic end cap was not there....and when I disassembled it he had the starter duct taped in place. I remember when I removed the control panel during disassembly it was unlike any grill I have ever dealt with before because I had to lift the cook box to get the control panel out. I thought that was odd at the time and still do. Now I have the grill almost completely restored and I am assembling it.....but when installing the control panel by wedging it under the cook box first then laying it flat.....it doesnt line up with the starter hole. Now I havent even attempted to install the manifold to see if the burner knobs will line up but what the hell is going on with this oddball? The only thing I can think of is that the flipper guy damaged the bar that the starter is on and maybe removed and reinstalled it in the wrong spot???? I am clueless. I tried 4 control panels and they all have the same problem. Please see pics and let me know if you can shine some light on this problem for me.
Thanks
