This is an 80.
You either have an 80 or a 621, but if the top and handle are gray, it is definitely not a 90.
Yes!
The 80 was developed into the 801, and the 90 was an 801 with larger engine (and decomp valve).
On the 80, the access panel for the air filter goes full circle, on the 621 it is flat at the bottom.
Now then, the question is will an electronic ignition from another model (70E etc.) fit an 80? I don't know. I do know if they fit, they won't be cheap.
I would try to fix the existing system.
Here is a link for an 80 ignition.

My saw looks like the second one from the right, but has the black plastic piece on the bottom part of the handle like PlantBiologist's (spitting image minus the hand guard). That is an awsome collection of saws by the way!
The 621 has well deserved good reputation. With a 20" bar, 3/8 full comp. and 8 tooth sprocket they are suprisingly fast. So far I like it better than the 80. But the 70 is the is the better of the three.
Shouldn't a Jonsered dealer be able to identify their own make/model of saw? How would a dealer do this if there were no identifying marks?
Just wondering...

That all depends on how old of a dealer they are. Your saw is 30 years+/- old. A lot of it is just knowing what to look for to eliminate some saws and narrow it down to what it is.
