This week picked up a Summit Platinum D6 in "fairly" good condition. paid Eur 100 (usd 109,-) for it, including delivery. I intend to restore it over the coming months; no rush. Happy to receive some tips and tricks!
First observations:
The Bad (worst one first)
- Bottom tray is missing (part 63630). Honestly did not notice it when I got the unit This one is going to be a headache to replace/solve....
- Ignition not working, will need to figure that one out or replace. The ignition switch is also broken. Replacing that one first to see if it solves the issue
- Side table missing on the left side. Thinking of putting a custom wood table instead
- Flip table missing on the right side. Not sure yet what to do with that....
- Some rust on the inside of the front panel of the cookbox. Doesn't seem that bad though (see fotos). Think i can salvage.
- Burners intact, but rusty and connect burners are broken/missing. Any thoughts if these can be salvaged, or just replace (see fotos)?
- Rust on the Flavour bars, but still intact. Thinking if I can salvage them, or replace? What do you think (see fotos)? very expensive part, so would like to avoid replacement.
- Ignition boxes are gone / burnt through. Replace.
- Some paint chipping on the outside of the lid. Will probably just sand it down and paint again (black)
- Some scratches on the lid. Accept and move on.
- Smoke box and rotisserie missing.
- Some screws seem rusty. Will replace.
The Good:
- It fires up and burns, knobs function ok (albeit with manual ignition)
- No signs of a flame out or tons of old grease. Honestly looks like it hasn't been used that much over the years.
- Cookbox looks surprisingly ok, except for some rust on the front panel. deep clean and paint outside black
- Grills are in good condition. Just need a deep clean.
- Frame and housing are intact. One screw missing. not a biggy
- Gas hose is new.
Pictures attached. Suggestions are more than welcome!
