Old Pioneer ID

[kimosawboy]

Hello All
Hopefully I'm in the right place!
Today I just picked up a few old saws, two Pioneers and one Stihl. The big bad 800 and the S-10 are straight forward, but the other Pioneer is a mystery to me.
The Id tag on it reads 66985, since I know pretty much zero about Pioneers, perhaps someone can give me a hand.
Thanks

What you have there is an IEL Pioneer model RA.

Thanks for the quick answer! Now I just have to dig into the archives and find out a little bit more about Pioneer/IEL. The history they had....
I think Sat is going to be a saw day for myself. The 800 runs fine, the Stihl needs the starter cord dealt with and the RA needs numerous parts..(and they all need a good cleaning)
Oh the fun.
