I saw it on Ebay/Craigslist

[jerryw66]

Never heard of one before, I wonder if it's a real deal or a fake, any Mac guys ever heard of this promo? That krinkle finish doesn't look too 70's ish. I guess I'm skeptical. It's definitely interesting, regardless of what I think.

For that much money he needs better pics.

I'm sure it's a real deal because I have heard a similar story with a mac 6 or a mini mac. They were boxed randomly and sent out with the rest. Can you imagine if you saved your hard earned money in 1970 to buy a cp-70 and when you opened the box you found that. With no money left to buy another I would think that you would be force to use it or try and sell it to buy antoher.

Was that like Willy Wonka's golden ticket?? ........I think that would almost be a let down to open the box.

There actually were saws issued at 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 million as "Milestone" units by McCulloch. What McCulloch did was fix up these special saws, and then box them up like any other and put them in the warehouse. Then they were randomly shipped off to whatever dealer was lucky enough to receive them (Not even the McCulloch workers knew where they were going.)

Now the caveat is, there were certificates of authenticity and other paperwork shipped with each "Milestone" saw. The paperwork needs to be included for the saw to be authentic. Without the paperwork, it's just a Mac saw that's been painted silver and isn't worth a darn.

No doubt!!

And I'd go back to WSC's comments - its really tough to tell from those photos. Im skeptical too.

I dont doubt the actual promo is real, but I am not so convinced this is the "real deal" either. Im not saying its not, but $15k is a lot of money, Im sure more than one person has tried to forge one of these things.

Very good point!

Paperwork that is a good idea. He don't say anthing about that or the box bet it got tossed in the trash.

 

[chopperfreak2k1]

someone call and see if they have the paper work for the saw.

One of you clever guys do a little thread searching, I am sure you will find this topic has come up before.

Not the first silver Mac to be posted.

Might have even been one or two on e-bay as well.

SOUNDS LIKE ITS ONLY GOOD FOR PARTS!!!!!

 

[watsonr]

It needs a full rebuild. That saw was listed and ended with no bid last week, I asked some questions and it needed pretty much everything.

The item in the pictures looks for all the world like a Peavy Mfg Timberjack, in darn near new condition. I'd grab that myself if I lived closer, even though I already own one.

I paid over twice that and it's worth every penny.

 

[watsonr]

About two hours from me, if I was home it would be in the truck already!

 

[SawGarage]

That's just terrible. Worst I've seen so far.

Aaron suspects that you submitted that ad to CL for the purpose of having some fun...:hmm3grin2orange:

I would do no such thing! too many saws to work on to play games!

lol
