Fellas -

Lots of flea markets in the area. One of them had a few interesting saws that I took a few pictures of yesterday -- one was a larger Ladoni and the other was a beautiful retro looking Jonsered that was hiding behind a bunch of saws in the corner of the seller's shed.

After a bit of Googling, I realized that the Jonsered was likely a Raket XF - a 60's vintage muscle saw with 110cc!

5 minutes later, I was headed back to the market to pick it up. Only set me back $50!

Just did a basic cleanup today and took some pics. It's mostly there, but missing the starter assembly. Pulled the head to measure the cylinder and it came in right at 56 mm. Piston looks great.

Not sure if I'm going to keep it, sell it, or swap it, but it sure is a cool old muscle saw!

If anyone knows where I can get parts, please let me know.
