What's YOUR Holy Grail Vintage Chainsaw List?

View attachment 621994 View attachment 621995 box from Sweden arrived in the snowstorm today. Had to bust drifts for 46 miles to get her home safely.

Did it come with a 7/16" chain? Those chains are rare these days and worth quite a bit of money...

Not a HG by any means but going to search a little harder in 2018 for 1 saw in particular that a friend owns close by. Newer Mac. Just because I want to dig inside one for chits.

About 3 yrs ago my holy grail list included a Stihl 090,Pioneer P62,Poulan 5200,Homie 750,Mac CP125 & 99 with a Homie 3100G at the top of the list.

Gradually with luck,much patience,watching various places & a couple great contacts in Nor Cal & Southern Oregon keeping me informed since then I've gotten every one.

the God all mighty 3100G. Very very nice saws.

Newtostihl hooked me up with my holy grail saws. Stoked!

He has a habit of doing that, doesn't he? I have a few Grail saws from him, too.

How about a Stihl ten cube engine

Looks strangely similar to the West Bend 820 engine...

Don't know if this qualifies as vintage but definitely getting harder to find over here in nz. Awesome runner and gets used

Neighbor came over; he's been bugging me for a 6 cube Stihl so I pulled some off the shelf for him to look at. I also had a few others pulled out so figured it would make a good photo op. There's an 084, 066, 076, Contra S, Contra, 070, Solo Twin, Mac SP125, and Dolmar 166. Think a rotary saw snuck in the picture, too.

Nice group photo. Great arsenal of saws. There is actually two in there I don't have.

Really? I kind of figured that your collection was like the Noah's Ark of the saw world - a pair of every saw made.

Not quite Scott. Although i'm very happy with what saws I have accumulated over the years
there are still a few missing blanks. Some haven't been a priority. The 070 and Contra I do
not have yet. I do have a Contra S but it needs a bit of work. Two saws that I would really
like to find are a Solo Super Rex, a Remington Super 880 and Super 880G. I wouldn't mind
a Contra GS either but i'm sure i'd never be able afford one.

Lee -

I'll be back in the states (Norfolk, VA) for a 10 week course starting on Wednesday. After that, I'm back in Italy 3 months before I move to San Antonio for my next assignment. We can easily find you a nice Contra. Solo Rex's are easy to find, too, and reasonably priced as well. I don't run across many Super Rex's, but I haven't been looking. I suspect we can find one of those, too.

Good luck on the Contra GS. Not easy to find.

I have a nice Jonsered 49sp, I would like to add a 52e 70e and 80. Those may not qualify as "vintage". But they are the saws I remember from my childhood. Great memories
