I have a 1970 Stihl 070 New Jug, New piston, New carburetor with modified points. (I have the piston & carb that were in it when I bought it on the shelf) It fires on average between the 3rd & 6th pull from a true cold start. Once it hits though you can take your hands off it walk away and it will run for a good 2-3min before it cuts off. The bar is 7/20 the cosmetics paint etc 6/10. However the compresson & power 9-9.5/10. In my mind it's worth $750-800 in this condition. Interested in your opinions. ••• The 2nd saw is a 1994 All Original Stihl 026(not a PRO) the 16" bar 9/10, cosmetics 8/10, compression & power 6.5/10 it's been a box stored back seat princess but has a good amount of years under belt. Given it's original state minus the bar of course which has about 3 test cuts on it. Given the strong following in my mind it's a $500 saw in this condition. ••• 3rd Saw Short & Sweet. Just a Fresh Rebuilt Stihl 029Super w/24" bar which is 6/10, cosmetics 7/10 & compression &power 8/10(might be little too much bar I don't know. It has never impressed me. In my mind this is a $350 saw. •••IM ABOUT TO SHUT UP I go appreciate anyone who made it this far. Thank You. 4th SAW: 1977 All Original Homelite SuperEZ Automatic with Manual oiler w/16" bar that's 7/10, Cosmetics 8.5/10 & Comp/Power 9/10 unbelievable barely touched, I'd guess 5hrs max. In my mind age, condition, appreciation value to come it's a $180-220 saw. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not perfect nor old enough to know it all 39. I guessed 1,800-2k worth of saws if we hold to our guns. So I'm open to suggestions before I sell. Thanks for any advice!!
