What's YOUR Holy Grail Vintage Chainsaw List?

[bulletpruf]

That sure is a pretty XF hope it's going to a good home

It's headed to some guy named Floyd in Montana. Since there are only like 20 people who live in Montana anyway, maybe you've heard of him?

Name sounds familiar I will have to ask my nearest neighbor 20 miles up the road if he knows him.

Well have to cross another off my list today.

I have to add this one as well a lamb sw-6 built in Liverpool NY. It runs on prime and the original bar. Chain is currently soaking in my special loosen up mix. 105cc

I had a holy grail saw arrive today. Many thanks to a fellow member.
As soon as the weather clears I will post pic's.

The weather clear yet?

Not long ago I wrapped my hands around one of my personal holy grail saws, a sand cast Lightning. We don't often find 'perfect' examples with the rare ones, and this one is not perfect. On my wish list is that it hadn't been restored/repainted and that it had the correct early recoil cover plate with the FM logo stamped into the center. However, I couldn't be happier with it and the fact that I got the opportunity to own it!

Just in case anyone is harboring one that needs a new home, Scott hit the nail on the head above by pointing out that I would certainly like to get my grubby mitts on an 090G Stone Saw!!!

Very cool Beau- that is one sweet ride...

Very nice! The Italian saws that I like have eluded me so far. Still looking for a Landoni L110 and a Castor or Alpina 120.

Scott

I'll bet I can help with an Alpina 120...

Well have to cross another off my list today.

The handwriting on the tag sure looks familiar...come to think of it, that saw looks familiar, too!

@NewToStihl - I was in Morocco last week and recalled that I had promised to find you something. But I somehow got confused; I remembered you wanted a cobra, but now I'm thinking it was a Contra. Whatever the case, if you want me to mail you a few cobras, I'll get them packed up and headed your way...

There's something you don't get to do everyday!

Oh my! That's a bit of a harrowing experience I'm not sure I'd have the rocks for...

Big fan of Cobras; not the slithering kind, but rather the four-wheeled kind that might more appropriately fit your hobby back home!

Another Grail saw arrived today...

Got this gem from a fellow member. Finally found some time to take a few pic's
of this Jonsereds Diesel XA Raket. A holy grail saw I've been wanting for a very
long time.

Congratulations Lee, happy for you to get one.

The good thing about that is with you getting one, I would say there is a good chance we will get to see it actually run sometime.

 

[bulletpruf]

Glad you like it, Lee!

I need to see if my XA and Comet B will run. Got some fresh diesel last week. Maybe this weekend...

And yes, a video would be

after years of looking was finally able to get myself a cs-100 manufactured 1969

Seems like they did not sell many of the big Echos in Japan
