Saw is in great shape for being a 50's made saw. No corrosion, missing bar and chain. Also no on/off switch. Everything seems to be original and in great shape, down to the air filter, carb, and hardware. Still has original fuel and oil fittings. All bearings have been visually and physically inspected. I did remove cylinders and pistons to clean them of all carbon. Have since finished and reinstalled. Cylinders have tape around them to cover spark plug hole and exhaust port to avoid any intrusion. I've been fighting the flywheel for some time now. As of now one side has spark, and the other side has weak spark.

Cons are some one rattle can'd the entire thing deep blue. Im in the process of stripping the paint and to my surprise the original light blue color that it came in from the factory is still there and looks pretty nice.

Hoping to get 1500 but will most definitely take partial trades and even consider any offer. I can ship this also.
