Echo CS1200 saws

[CM76]

A colleague of mine has come across a couple of Echo CS1200 saws in a guys shed this weekend - one is a runner while the other one looks as though it could be made to run with minimal work.

Does anyone have experience with these machines? I see that they are 116cc and probably the largest Echo in the fleet of days gone by ?
Apparently they are big, and quite heavy (as described by my colleague) to handle. Unfortunately I do not have photographs at present of the saws in question, but rest assured the machines do exist, and hopefully I will be able to get some down the track.

Any feedback / experience with the Echo CS1200 is appreciated.

Regards,

Chris.

I only know of one in the USA and Leeha has it. Those saws are rare and scarce over here and i would love one of them. Please take some pics...Bob

All i can say Chris, Is you better get them. They are a rare saw indeed.
I have the Echo 1100 which is the same saw but older version. It looks
identical to the 1201. The 1201 is still in production but from what i learned
it is only available in Africa. They must have been available in your country
at one time. Thats where mine came from. I have never seen another for
sale or even parts.

Thanks Lee and Bob,

We are on the case, so we will have to see what happens. Will give feedback when I can.

hey fellas hoping someone may be able to help, i have a cs1200 in very good running condition and im looking to sell it but cant find much or any info on what price to ask, has any got an idea of a price? they seem to be very rare

SUPER wild guess, but used in very good shape, at least as much as a new cs8000. I think you can check ebay completed auctions for any past sales, if you have an account.
