Partner saw identifaction

[tomdcoker]

I bought a old Partner cut-of saw today-and need help identifying the model.
It will not bring anything on fleabay, so I thought if I can get it to run I would convert it to a chainsaw. I am going to try to up load some pictures and I am not very good at this. Tom

It appears to be based on the Partner R12, with the newer style rear handle. It looks like it has a heavy duty air cleaner, probably not available on the chainsaw. I'm sure there is a Partner collector out there that would trade you an R12 chainsaw for that, as the R12 was pretty common, and the cut off saw is somewhat rare. The member "Mange" could probably help you out.
