New to the forum so want to start by saying hello, this place looks like a great resource. I have a couple Stihls and was recently given an old Pioneer saw my father-in-law had in his shed because he knows I love anything antique or classic with an engine. My hope is to restore it and I am hoping someone on here knows about them. It is a Pioneer model NU-17, serial number 216412. All I know so far is the NU-17 was made from 1961 to 1964 though if someone could tell me the exact year that would be great. The saw is complete and in good shape and has compression as well as a good bar and chain. The issue is that it has no spark because the ignition coil is literally falling apart and I haven't yet been able to get the flywheel off to check the points and condenser. If anyone knows where to get parts that would be awesome because I can't find any so I have been mulling over some creative options. I hope to get it running and repainted and take it to shows and of course cut with it occasionally. Thanks for any help.
