Just picked up this beauty on marketplace for $50. Haven't been able to really pin down much info about it. Gas tank is different than what's on the newer models. Wondering if anyone can identify it beyond knowing it's from the 90s and also what mods you recommend.
Also… Would you keep this vs a newer performer? Why/why not?

I have that exact model but don’t use the gas igniter. This model is so much better IMO because of the stainless steel surface versus the plastic. Maybe get a better thermometer and you’ll be good to go. That’s a steal for the money!
As far as accessories, I’d consider the rotisserie attachment, charcoal basks and maybe the Vortex.
typically referred to as the SSP. stainless steel performer. late 90s-early 2000s. propane tanks aren’t really supported anymore and may need to be modified or converted.
$50 is a steal. Mine is a red one that doesn’t have the gas hook ups. Got it for free. One of our company owners picked it up free off the side of the road and brought it in for us. Said if anyone wants it take it. Most of the bolts are rusted out and was wobbly. I added corner brackets to all the corners and gave it a good cleaning and have been using for four years now. Just needs a different lid holder that will keep it out of the way more. Just can’t remember if the one from the master touch is the one to get.
