Cad Strikes Again

[nitro]

well there i was sippin my 2nd vodka drink after a long day ,and lookin at saws on ebay .
there it was , the saw of my dreams ,a totally neglected and abused homelite c51 completely covered in slime ,no spark but it feels like its got compression

i just hope it was worth the 11 bucks i paid for it .anyone on here got a bar that fits it or any parts to resurrect the fine piece of history or should i use a road flare to ignite the magnesium for a warm colorfull fire

Drinkin' and fleabay is a bad mix. But for $11 bucks not to bad.

Well said. A recipe for disaster or at least diminished bank funds.

Hopefully they don't try to get you for some outrageous shipping cost, like $11 for the saw and then $140 shipping. I'm going through that right now on a Dayton parts saw. $10 for the saw and $61 shipping.

Only two drinks and you confirmed your bid -- who is your bartender? Usually takes me four and a few more before I tell my other half to keep an eye out for another package.

Congrats on the new family member!

Trust me, she's a wife, she already knows. That innocent unknowing front is just a ruse. It's her ammunition for the future, if ever needed.

[nitro]

Those are great saws, everyone needs an ancient homelite. It puts a whole new light on the newer models. I bet you'll find some spark in there.

Aka more pairs of shoes and a redmodeled kitchen, bathroom or both!

I usually can get away with whim purchases by buying for my wife on a whim. Like this time 'round for example, ended up in New Zealand for a week and picked up a couple of merino-possum sweaters for her - $400 but she will love them, and I have nearly as much pleasure watching her unpack something she likes as I have unpacking a new saw or pistol. And she just told me on the phone that my new-to-me Stihl 026 just arrived at my workplace by Fedex, she will pick it up for me tomorrow :greenchainsaw:

Unless you want a hard nose the bar will cost you more than the saw. The F014 bars are tough to get anymore.
