I am reeeeaaaaally hoping to get lucky here....I had a line on one of these and lost it...I would sure love to get one for my collection and am wondering if anyone happens to have one they wish to part with! Many thanks.....

Does anybody have any experiance using one of these saws? I have heard that they are quite the handfull, and have a ton of power?

I would love to here some opinions and experiences... anyone?

Thanks for the post....I have 2 beautifully restored super 754's and have seen a super 990. To the best of my knowledge, and I am 90%+ sure, the numbers relect the Horsepower and cubic inch displacement, eg, the 754 is 7 hp and 5.4 ci or 90cc; the 990 then is 9 hp and 150 cc.

My 754's cut like a raped ape and sound awesome...they are big and heavy due to the 60s technology but they absolutely scream. I have never cut with a 990 but can only imagine it is that much more cool......

Well not quite.

Yes the 754 is 5.4ci but not 7hp
The 990 is not 150cc it is 6.4 ci which is about 104cc

So the 754 and 990 designations have no real meaning?
