Thanks Harley!Here!! They have come up with an improved version this year!!
Amazing work Harley.Testing and Setting Data.....
Take Tha
As for obtaining additional 1122 information, there are plenty of threads on the subject with one of the more comprehensive being over on OPIE. Many, many, many variations of the 1122 model between the early 064 and the latest MS660, very few experts on all of them. Learn yours and go from there. The IPL attached should be a good start.I am trying to learn as much as I can about the evaluation of this series
Thanks those will be very helpfulTo follow up, T.I.s weren't available in digital form until '94 -- at least to my knowledge and according to what I've been able to determine. The earlier hard copy T.I.s are like gold if you can find them. (And anyone who has any, I'll digitize them free of charge to make them generally available.)
Anyway, here is a master index of T.I.s from '94 to late 2014 as a contribution to the cause. Goes by model which is very cool -- and very handy. It isn't 100% inclusive, but mighty close. The T.I.s themselves are another matter altogether when it comes to any sort of convenient distribution. What's included with MediaCAT and SCS is about the only organized way to access specific T.I.s since the software itself includes them for virtually every unit in the catalog, not just for chain saws. We're talking thousands of files.
An updated version of the attached list would be awesome if it's actually available somewhere. (Harley?) In the meantime, this one is still a might handy asset to have.

Wow thats a lot
Our local dealer has been there since the late 60's or early 70's and never throws paperwork away I asked to see if he had any older TI's and he said and I quote "I better have all of them if I don't somebody is going to be in deep **** because I keep everything hell I still have my copy of the first invoice we did" he said to give him a few days to put his hands on them and I will be able to borrow them. Shoot me a PM I may have to bring them to you to be digitized or may get you to teach me how to do it. They are just gonna be loaned to me for the project he is happy that someone is going to do it but wants to be sure the originals are not damaged. He said "there is lots of great information and it needs to be digitized so it can be used and its not lost if there was a fire or something"To follow up, T.I.s weren't available in digital form until '94 -- at least to my knowledge and according to what I've been able to determine.

I have worked with Pogo before. And would trust him with precious documents. Wouldn't trust sending in the mail. So Dave could possibly copy the pages at the library and send them to be scanned and put in a pdf.That's encouraging to say the least. There are several reputable folks who would probably vouch for me including the two main forces behind the 'Beg for Manuals' thread -- Ray and Charlie. @DefinitiveDave (Dave Smith) would be another who personally loaned me his 1111 and 1115 material to digitize -- which is most likely what you would receive from Ray or Charlie if you were to request older material for saws of those two series.
FWIW, I don't scan the material..., or at least I haven't in the past. I use a digital camera for hi-res jpgs of each page and then convert to individual PDFs before merging all the individual files into a single PDF. Not something that just gets thrown together in an afternoon. That said, I do have a higher quality scanner these days that could save a step or two per image if the quality is there in both the images and the scanner itself to handle the jobs. Regardless, it's a time consuming task any way you cut it and takes a bit of dedication.
Here's a link to a couple examples for your buddy -- or anyone else for that matter. I'd attach the files here but they're too large at the original resolution -- something I would change in any new archiving project to facilitate easier distribution.

I have 27 files in total just for the 1111 series and 18 for the 1115 series. I'd consider doing a series at a time for anything else new myself -- or whatever is easiest to do in reasonably sized batches based on how his stuff is cataloged/indexed. Wouldn't even want the responsibility of having all the material at once, but would be delighted to get involved on a step-by-step basis or in any other way I can assist.
It's amazing how little of the older Stihl documentation exists today and an absolute shame how much has simply been disposed of over the years.
We can take this to PMs for further discussion. Just wanted to generate some public momentum while the subject is still warm.
I for one appreciate your incentive and hope we can get something going on this.
