Agree with you, between this one and the 920 for $650 also listed in perpetuity you'd think they only made a few. I just picked these two up for a good price. Maybe I need to start flipping saws. LOL

This one looks OK....seems to be all there....but you can't tell on the AV's which are getting harder and harder to find. If that's the OE muffler, it tells me the saw hasn't been thrown all around and thrashed. The lack of paint shouldn't put anyone off if you want a runner 80. You can make him an offer too. "Barn find"....bet he paid $50 tops for it....lol

I think the dawg on that 80 was probably custom made, like I did mine. I never saw a factory 'J'red dawg that aggressive.
I am anxious to see what this saw sells for on the bay....going into firewood season and all.

What do you all think of the 601? Any known issues or problems to be worried about? Looking at a couple if I can get a reasonable rate. Thanks!

The 621's seem to command a premium these days. Thanks!Good synopsis by Robin....forerunner of the 621 which is a great saw. I don't know if I'd want two 601's, but I'd definitely take two 621's....lol. The 601 is one of the venerable silver tops...just a dated design in the AV dept as said..

They're worth it...it's the little brother to the 80 which I have used in service for 35+yrs. When the 621 came out, it was a premium saw with a premium price and ahead of its time. Shares a lot of the same parts(621,801,80,90), which in a lot of J'red models lines is a definite plus......since everything is NLA.
Kevin
Actually the 621 is in kind of a niche of it's own. Though it looks very, very similar to the 80 and built the same design wise, not many parts are common between them. It really doesn't share many parts with models up or down except some ign parts. It's family members are the 62 and 621 which were developed from the 60 and 601. It's a odd duck in the family lines.......it's the only Jonsereds to have it's own trigger handle assembly that will not fit any of the others' whereas say a trigger handle from a 49SP will fit perfectly on a 49sp, 50, 51, 52/52E, 66E, 70E, 80/81/801, and 90. The only difference being the linkage to the carb on the various saw models. But they were one of the top sellers as Kevin said so there are lots and lots of parts saws out there. I believe the 49SP and 621 were the most sold models of the entire line.
LOL!! Yeah, nothing like buckin' without oil, turning the bar around and doing it again limbing....
Same saw as the 80 but with a more modern AF & AF cover(same set-up as the 90). Looks pretty clean but missing ignition switch...that will cost if you want OE. Another full-wrap cut at the clutch side, rather than find the AV mount. Lower louver, non-restrictive muffler...nice!

This could be a sleeper unless it goes into a frenzy at the last. Very decent original looking saw, although the pics are lousy:
