Want to Buy Pioneer P-35

[Jacob J.]

Hey Guys-

I'm chasing a ghost of a saw- the Pioneer P-35. Apparently it was a prototype for a new model about the time OMC started winding down their chainsaw division. As a long-time Pioneer fan, I'd love to see one of these in person. I'll gladly buy or trade for one. thanks.

Hi
It's on my holy grail list too.
I saw a new unfired one and about a week later got to hold a used one that was owned by the guy who sold the new unfired one.
Interesting story with the saws,his estimate is there are about 50 unaccounted for.
I think I'm about number 21 on the list of people that will buy his used one.

Anyone know if they were sold in Oz?

I'm not really expecting to find one, but I know there's a few out there. I too have heard that there might be as many as 50 or so floating around, but I've also heard that only six were made. There's a guy right now on Kijiji looking for a top cover for his. I sent him a message that having one 3-D printed might be his best option.

I think the only ones that made it to OZ were brought in by collectors?

Wow, that's a really contemporary-looking machine for 1977.

It is one cool looking saw. I think if the parent company hadn't pulled the plug, that saw would have been a winner on the primary market.

I suspect that you're right.
