They may be collectible to some, as it is one of very few twin cylinder chainsaw models - but who really collects Echo saws?

I do, I have no interest in collecting plain Jane Husqvarnas.

I own the Mastermind ported 610 and it did go well. Misinformation seems to be the norm around here lately.

Biased statements from one individual who has likely never held an Echo saw in his hands.

To me, echo is to the chainsaw market the same as Toyota and Honda is to the car market. Well engineered, well built products designed to last but not overly fancy. Especially the older saws. Show me another brand of saw at age 30 or 40 that retains the same fit and finish.

ArboristSite should have a dislike button.
There was a guy here on AS who lived in Japan, hasn't been active in a long time. He has/had some pretty cool Echos saws and other products.

If you are thinking of SEAM, he was just on this morning.

Very worthwhile project Cobey. It always amazes me how well those echos clean up. Congrats !

I think he has an old 60S that is really nice.

I can't recall his name, might be the same guy.
Sometimes I am not really sure if we live on the same planet...
This is a mid 80s 60 cc saw and does actually work very nicely and with hardly any vibrations. I did take Husqvarna another 30 years to produce something comparable...
A clip of one of mine...
They may not be a saw for everyday use now, but are certainly a joy to run - and the porting is good enough for me.

Looks like it is doing a good job to me.....and doesn't put your hands to sleep. Seam, is Echo the predominant saw in Japan or are there imports ?

Fine collection Jos. Is the older Echo 100 a 100 cc saw ?
I have (2) CS 4600s that are my "go to" work saws.

Should be 102 cc
CS 4600 should be almost the same saw as the 4500, think we have te same taste.
Greetings Jos.
