Good luck finding even a handful of people who have these saws.

Husky 444's are fairly common in Europe. Too bad shipping is so expensive. Lots of Partners, too -- I picked up a few R11's a few months back that need some TLC.

Here's clean 444 in Germany for just under $300 - https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/motorsaege-husqvarna-444-se/651463862-87-795

And a 444 in Sweden for about $150 - http://www.tradera.com/item/301792/282279052/motorsag-husqvarna

Seeing a few 61's as well - here's a fairly clean one - https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/husqvarna-61-motorsaege-kettensaege/651616208-84-6078

Shipping is probably close to what a saw is, it really sucks. I'd have one otherwise.
 
My girlfriend's aunt and uncle used to own a saw shop in the U.P. it was awesome crawling around in there today. A ton of Husqvarna and Dolmar parts. He used to be a McCulloch dealer then switched in the early 80s. There's a semi trailer out back she couldn't find the key to today but I'll check it later this spring. If anyone needs a 2100 carb I found o box of NOS carberators shipped from the factory
 
I would like a brand new 1987 Jonsered 590. It could replace my old one that I have had since then, which still runs well.

I don't know if that even qualifies as vintage. I doubt it, but I thought I would just throw that out to the universe.

I have 2 very new good saws (Dolmar 420 and Stihl ms362) and the old 590. We ran them all the other day cleaning some fenceline and the best saw was the 590, imo. It just runs good and handles better. It holds its power buried better than either of the other two, which are no slouches. 16" 3/8 lp, 16" .325, and 18" 3/8, so all saws set-up to rip like crazy. The Jony handles what it's carrying better than the others.

A partner might do in a pinch. But I like the red and black look.

Amen.

It's YOUR Holy Grail list, so if a minty J-red 590 is at the top, that's mighty fine.
