Saw an ad on CL around the first of December for this sign and lucky for me I was the first to call. Only needed President Jackson to walk away with this one.....

Is that one or two signs, sweet deal by the way.
It is a 3ft x 5ft double sided sign. I got it from a STIHL dealer and the guy said they were simply just tired of moving it/tripping over it.
All it really needed was a little TLC. The electric on it was all dry rotted and it was just dirty. So took it apart, rewired the electric, installed some new eyebolts, washed the two sign inserts, blew it out with compressed air, shop-vac'd any remaining loose debris, wiped down the bulbs and put it back together. Plug it in and everything works.

Fantastic score! Yup, you suck!
It looks like a 028 to me, and the trimmer I am not sure. It also looks like they tried to illustrate the wrap handle with rubber on it. So it is not an early early 028 but definitely early. So can anyone possibly pinpoint an approximate year this may have been made?
There is a tag on the side of it but it is almost all worn away from when it was hanging up and something was rubbing against it.

great score
That might be an old FS80 trimmer. Nice score!
FS90AVE?
Ya, that's what I meant. My dealer always kids around with me when I need fs90 parts, "New style 90 or the old one?" Of course it's the new style I need parts for.
Found this pic of an 028...
What about the muffler on the 038? Does it look like the one in the sign? The muffler in the sign looks like the muffler in the 028 picture I posted.

I just bought a locked up 066 with a good KS top end. Came on here to brag about it. 
But that ain't much compared to this one Rory.
You did very well.

If you wanna sell that sign......or do some trading. I'd like to have it in my new shop when it's finished.
I have no plans to let this go.
2014? This may be my best score to date...
