You passed right over the 'diamond in the rough'... The Mini Mac 30!

Looks like the recoil wasn't even busted.
I have to say I didn't consider it....the second time I went there I laid out a bunch of saws including a couple Macs and was ready to spend some money....just not all my money like the estate sale manager was asking.

I think only me and about 3 other guys on this site would have bought the Mini Mac, haha.
Some cool saws in that hoard but not any too cheap.

I completely understand that pull to a particular looked over saw. I dont seem to be able to pass up the Poulan SDA, XXV CVA, or 2300 series saws for some reason.

I have an EagerBeaver that I got from an old friend and I bet has nearly zero hours on it. I also have my dad's minimac 6 taken apart in a box. I finally ordered the check valve kit from Randy's parts this week. Once I get my dads saw back together I may feel confident enough to take apart the notso at the moment EagerBeaver.

The Homey superEZ actually had a bar/chain alongwith some special fabricationing.
Four out the 5 Homey's started on direct prime injection, the XL12 with red gas cap did not. Wow, the C52 and C51 sound like angry hell devils waiting to devour something. I can't wait to get through those and hope they'll be good runners.

Craftsman 3.7 blue, Lombard, and Remington SL4 fire on prime....Lombard and Remington sound awesome.
I made a comment the other day about Poulan building saws for any tom,****, and harry.....Rigid, that's my first of that one. I'll post that pic in the Niks Poulan thread....
