Years ago, I was in a Home Depot and they were clearing out an ECHO CS-6700. New and still sealed in the box.
They had $300.00 on it, and I applied for a HD credit card and was given an add'l. 10% off the price.
Never did get around to firing it up. I sold it to someone on this forum, but I forget who.
Anyways, congrats and enjoy the saw!

You...suck!
The CS330t is another Echo that has to have the limiters caps pulled and tuned right and needs a muff modd to make real good power. GREAT BUY. Steve

I just saw one (along with a 360) in a pawn shop. Could have had both for $115 but passed as they had issues. Might have to check the local HD tomorrow.

Nice find! I'm not jealous... No I swear!
I work at the Depot and picked up a CS-520 for $185.00, ex-rental with 5 spare chains. I haven't done a MM yet as it seems pretty stron as is. Also got a gas hedge cutter missing a gas cap for $20.00 and saw chains for $5-$7 Love the clearance isle!!
I also picked a couple of CS-345, used at $30.00 each but haven't decided about them yet.

While the CS520 cuts good stock they gain a lot with a muff modd. Steve

I used to work at the depot too, amazing the things I would get from clearance and tool rental.

Hit both the Home Depot locations in Lexington looking for bargains. One CS 310 in a box for $129 at the first one, no saws on clearance at the second. Checked out the rental store at the second, they had a DCS 6421 for $301. I guess the $200 days are over.
I really like those Echo 510-520-530 saw. They have great chain speed and are quiet for residential use. Take Steve;s advice and give them some more fuel so they dont run so lean.
Hi Steve
What approach do you take the MM of a 520, just remove the internal pipe or more radical?
