Fellas -
Picked up this saw a few months ago from the original owner's son. Depending on how you count, it's either a 3, 2 or 1 owner saw. The son told me that his father purchased it new in the 50's to use on their farm in rural Sweden. He said the saw was very well taken care of because it was a significant outlay of cash for the family back in the 50's.
I bought it and looked it over and put it on the shelf. I don't know if it has moved in months. It would be a great addition to any collection, and I have a fair amount of literature (IPL, advertising, etc) that I can e mail as well.
I'd love to keep it, but it really doesn't fit my collection.
For those not familiar with JO-BU, it's a Norwegian company; saws are fairly common in Europe. The Junior came out in 1952, but I believe this one was sold in 1955 or 1957; will have to check to see if I have some notes on it. Has an 18" bar.
This particular saw is in quite good shape, especially considering its age. It turns over fine and does have compression.
Cash price is $500 + shipping (about $60 to the U.S.). Trades accepted. I'm in the market for a Jonsered 111, Stihl 056 magnum, and a Stihl 044, among other things. A Mac 797 would be mighty fine, too.
PM with questions.
Thanks
Scott
