New to me Model 55

I got this from an estate. I've noticed two things; the temp setting dial is way off. I need to set it to about 150 to get a wide, IMHO, temperature swing of 185-250. A brisket I cooked yesterday got rave reviews but took far longer than I expected. I'm wondering if it is the amount of time the cooker spends below 225. 

Is that swing normal? The previous owner had it at the edge of her covered deck in Florida, so it got a ton of rain from hurricanes and that everyday Florida rain. I also need to order two additional racks for it. The support section doesn't have a manual for it either. I guess it is too old to be supported.
