old saws that look new...or almost

[pioneerguy600]

Don`t think I have posted picts of this one on here yet. This was a 620 super that sat on a shelf at a Pioneer dealer and never sold until I found it.

Wow, that's awesome. I like the bar!! Interesting chain on it, some kind of safety chain?

Yes it is the original Pioneer chain that came with the saw, an early version of safety chain called Sureguard C6SH. Forgot to mention it has never been filed, just as it came from the factory.

You mean that saw was just sitting on the dealers shelf and he has never sold it up untill you bought it.

Yep.

I dream of finding an old saw like that someday. There have been a few reported here on AS and one day I hope to report the same for an old Jonsereds. [insert dream emoticon here]

That's an awesome find. You would think it would have sold after a few years.

I have a few NOS saws that just sat around at different dealers and somehow never got sold. I found a Pioneer 600 that had a couple of parts pirated of it and left under a bench for 33 years until I found it while talking to their retired service tech, he remembered it was there,the store had been closed for 20 years. The Stihl 08 SE I found early this spring was an old never sold saw , just had a couple of parts pirated off to repair other saws back in the day and left in a box with 33 other parts removed saws that all followed me home.

guess you just gotta know who to ask and where to look. They couldn't have found a better home. You will keep them looking new.

Got a lot on my plate for sure, found 6 NIB saws on a earlier trip this spring and a garage full of IEL saws and parts, will take a couple of years to catalogue it all.

Well, I know where there is 6 NIB and 5 NOS Pioneers that would put that one to shame.

Oh?? Could you please put me down for at least 1.

One thing I learned early on was to not overlook those old codgers sitting back in the back of the stores or repair shops, they have a story or two to tell you and if you listen carefully and talk to them and not over them you would be surprised at what they can tell you about. I used to collect firearms and it worked the same way, listen to a few yarns, spin a couple of your own and steer the talk to what you are looking for, they know a lot more than most folks give them credit for.

I am working along with the current owner to catalog what is in the closed out shop, got to hold a couple of the saws that were in opened boxes and they sure are pretty when 45 years old and still new. So much neat stuff there that it makes my head swim.
