What's YOUR Holy Grail Vintage Chainsaw List?

[fwgsaw]

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

Don't believe they sold many of the early cs 100 anywhere that I'm aware of. I'm unsure the history of this saw or how it even made it into the states.

Does this one have an auto oiler? All the blue Echos I have come across so far have a manual oiler, the orange ones have an automatic oiling system. Echo changed the model designation with the change in color/features - the CS60 (manual), for example, became the CS60S (auto+manual). The CS80 never changed color, I believe. The CS100 did while keeping the model name.

Mine has a manual oiler. It's on the left side of the handle

OK - thanks!

Nice original saw, by the way

Thanks! I have the original bar with it also. Now to find a original blue cs 80

I got four CS80... Three of them run, two in fair to nice condition, No. 4 was sold as a brush cutter and does not have a regular sprocket cover.

Your CS100 (as the blue ones in other collectors' hands in the US) was produced for overseas - the starter cover lingo is in alphabets. The old blue Echos sold in Japan feature Japanese letters, and starting from the orange era the writing on the starter was in alphabets...
CS80 (late, white top)

CS80 (early, red top) - no number here as this was their very first saw and only ECHO at that time...

This is one in between - blue starter plate but white top


CS60

The brushcutter... also an early CS80

That brush cutter must have been insane to run.

Thanks! No comparison with your gems, though.

Very nice. Those are some saws you won't see over here I'm guessing.

Don't under estimate yourself Steffan. You have a fantastic collection.
Quite a few saws i'd love to have in my collection.

...probably the reason why the power head is preserved so well

My Holy Grail list is getting shorter! Today I picked up a very heavy box from the post office - many thanks to another member for hooking me up. These aren't the greatest pics, but they'll do for now.

She's a beauty, Beau! Can't be many of those in the states.

A Champ

Nice one - and in decent shape! Congrats!!

 

[leeha]

Nice Champ, I also inherited one this year. Good to see some
coming into the states. Not an easy saw to find.

Thanks Lee. Chased one of these for a good bit of time. I saw that you got one not long ago as well. Sounded like it may be a winter project for you - I'm hoping to make this one a runner during the cold months as well.
