Not really. We kinda make fun of it in the office.
But if you like, I'd be happy to "endorse" you for skills so it builds your exposure.
What are some of your areas of expertise? Beer drinking, always drives the speed limit, expert at running through the house with scissors?
That's OK...I'm also a licensed plumber and a journeyman mechanic...but nobody cares about that around here....just your lowest labor price. If I can't go low enough, then they get undocumented workers to do it and ***** forever about the quality of the job. The one 'win' I've had around here are the deer & elk....they are trashing the vineyards and they all need fencing. But even at that, I now have to hire a 'talking head' to go with me to the wine foundation/wine center at the community college and sell the deer & elk fencing concept that I build.

I always considered it a dirty white.....like ivory or linen white. But you're right, sometimes I see gray in 'em up close...not that I wanna remain that close...lol.

Thanks so much

btw - i was able to spray the crankcase down with brake cleaner and lube it with MMO. It's turning MUCH better than before so I'm thinking I have a good crank, case and bearings.
The oiler seems intact and it has a rimmed sprocket on it. Haven't popped the flywheel yet to check the points but that will probably be an adventure for this weekend.
I was thinking about having the cylinder bore "rechromed"

Reminds me of the Jonsereds 81 story - and it definately looks like it happened....

I wouldn't....we have yet to find a reliable re-chroming interest that produces a good product all the time. Too much money to gamble....should be done right the first time....period.

*Whistles*....don't even wanna know what that set ya back.......

Wasn't all that bad really, considering the availability;
The top cover is in nice shape, doesn't look like it was ever used. No stickers or scratches, a beautiful silvery color. $60
Recoil starter was $28, Flywheel was $40, Carb was $30
Very fair pricing..... Considering the model. 
Jonsered 535 I have has a broken rear handle. I have looked around this area but have not found one.
I would be interested in purchasing one if someone could give me a lead...This has been a nice saw and I hate to not fix it.
Thank you
