Couple random ones from iPhoto. That 041 is my father-in-law's. He knew I was handy and asked me if I could fix it. I'd never worked on anything 2-stroke before; only mowers and the like. Had no spark (SEM coil); I googled for info and found Arboristsite. Now have 30+ saws. It's his fault.

The pic with the 4 or 5 saws was an old timer about an hour away that had a barn FULL of saws. I'm talking 100 of them. Got some old goodies including an 028WB & 028 Super. I still have the super and it still cuts great. That 3400 came from him too. I sold it but later regretted it so I bought a 4000. Come to think of it, that 245 was from him too, as was the 25, but from a different haul. I went back a couple times to him. Got a bunch of old homelites, too. Probably got 25 saws total from him. The profits funded this dumb hobby, also let me pay cash for an old work truck.

Sure like to dig though old barns and such, hard to find those deals any more.
 
If you want to call it an oldie but I use my early 90s s25da sometimes just to keep her going. I had to put a ppb4218 coil on it to get it running. Now ask me how I did that...?
