Shocking to think they used to run a saw all day with no ear protection and a stack for a "muffler"
Huh, did you say something about shocks from a stack muffler? Speak a little louder.
I had my hearing tested a few weeks ago. I was asked if I had been exposed to loud noises as a kid. Both ears exhibited a classic noise “notch” which is attributed to early exposure to loud noises. I didn’t know MACs were noisy at the time - just revolvers and jets breaking the sound barrier. Too bad, no do-overs and the damage is done.

We are too soon old and too late smart...
Hey buddy
There's a guy here in Buffalo NY selling everything, what doesn't sell here he is taking someplace in Pa. This fall at some flea market, anything you might want me to look at
"Youth is wasted on the young" - Its a wonderful life.
That is quite a collection. There are a more than a few models there I don't have in my display.

Bottom left is a stainless variant off a CP125, isn't it?

I have a 10-10 that I felt was lacking spunk, and I am going to give that a try. I also have a 10-10 Automatic, and it seems to have more power.
"Bottom left is a stainless variant off a CP125, isn't it?"
The CP muffler would have three mounting screws, and use the band type clamp.
That shiny one is probably from a 1-52 or 1-53 as they were the premium saw of the day.

Terrible picture, but here is what I have for a muffler housing. I'm just now getting to this saw so haven't cleaned it up much. It does have great spark and fires right off with fuel down the carb. Inside fuel tank including original felt fuel line look great as well.
Huh, my CP125 probably has a muffler off a 1-52 or 1-53 then. It has a two-piece, clampless, baffle-less, stainless muffler with only two mounting screws on it currently, hence my guess.
The first batch of materials for the addition to house Bobs parts showed up this morning. And so it begins.
I remember days like that.

me too
Of course nothing is running on schedule. The plan was to be under roof by now. Alas, thats life lol.
Well i got some mac time in today. Ran a tank thru my g70. A little fine tuning and it did well. Heavy little thing. Id hate for that to be my only saw to use. It cut well and faster than i expected. It has .404 chain and 24 inch hard nose bar. Cut up some maple. But it performed pretty darn good.
Then i put half a tank or better thru a sleeved 82cc sp saw. It cut with lots of grunt and had plenty of speed.....i think i have an air leak
. It seems to be searching a little. On its side it will pick up a bit...darn it. Another day.....but it started and ran well for me other than that hiccup. Firewood season has begun!!! Tomorrow i think ill grab a 70 or 57cc.

The lower brace is easy. Hopefully the spark is just a bad wire. Not bad for $40.

the last one (SP70) was 40.00. this one was 50.00. you'll be getting a shopping list
just looked at the IPL and realized that this one has no points.
