Vintage Chainsaw Collectors Lounge

Do any of yall have any idea of what it is worth

Your saw is worth whatever the buyer decides and you.
You have an old saw which has an issue with weak coils.
Not the best saw for use when you look at modern saws.
If it is in really nice shape a collector may give you the best money.
It's not a rare saw,but a well built saw.
If you like vintage saws and only cut a little wood then it will fit the bill.
I haven't got one in my collection yet,if i come across one for the right price i would add it to my pile,but not a big priority because there are so many out there and a lot of them are in good condition because of the coil issue.Where i live i have to ship in 90% of the saws i buy so that means i have to find the real cheap ones to justify the shipping cost.

Check ebay completed listings, That should give a good idea on value.

Thanks for getting back so soon . I never even thought about the cost of shipping. I might do better just trying to sell local

I've always wanted one of these old Echo saws. Finally picked this up. Won't win any power to weight ratio awards but sure are well built saws. Runs good with lots of torque.

It was missing the thumb piece on the manual oiler so I made a custom one from koa.

A wooden starter handle would be nice

That's a good idea.

That's a good idea.

Would be pretty cool definitely different

The "classic" wood starter handle is a piece of a limb, about an inch diameter and 4" long...... vine maple is a favorite. Just tie the rope around the center and go back to work!
My old Solo Rex (125cc) was pretty hard on the old rubber handles!

That is really nice. I roughed a couple out of mango. If they are acceptable I will send you one. And I see you are a Kiwi.

Very nice Mark!!

I remember having a wood handle on some old Wisconsin motors, of course they didn't have a recoil starter on them. Just wrap and pulled and prayed it started on the first or second pull.

That's a good looking Super XL, glad you got a runner to start with. Before you try it in wood turn the chain around.

Not my saw, that photo was taken several year ago in Missouri.

Mango is one of my favorite woods. When properly dried it's light, tough, and beautiful when you get a finish on it.
