Old Charmglow Grill on post

Hello all,I've posted this also to a barbecue group but thought some here might be able to help also:I've just moved into a house that has an old Charmglow Grill (HED-1 Party Host) mounted to a permanent post. It's natural gas. From googling I now know this is a classic old grill that used to be a standard (or perhaps the only thing available). My question is this, is this grill worth restoring? It seems like it only needs a new burner and venturi, plus maybe a new knob, handle, some cleaning and possibly paint. The regulator and block seem okay, but what do I know, they may need replacement also. I can get a total redo kit for about $170 but it might cost less if I don't need everything. I did notice a site selling a redone full grill (on wheels rather than post) for $975 ( ).I wonder if anyone can tell me how the old Charmglow (once restored) compares to the modern natural gas equivalent? It seems $170 for a nat gas grill, if it works well, beats out buying a new one for $600 or more.Thanks in advance for any responses.--EricP.S. - I intend to use this grill for weekday summer cooking. On weekends when I will have more time I will usually stick to my charcoal weber kettle.
