Price on a mcculloch super pro 118?

[astnmacgto]

Ik that a saw is only worth what somebody is willin to pay, so that being said out of any of you guys out there that own one of these or even have one in dolmar colors what did you give for yours and what were the give circumstances,
Thanks, ADLM

Let me clarify, not trying to be nosy, but I have added that to my list of saws that I wish to collect and should I run across one I'd like a pretty good estimate of what they are worth.
Thanks, ADLM

Nope its actually a sachs dolmar 166 wearing a mac yellow shirt. From what I understand they were sold only in Australia because mcculloch was already a huge name in the country and I guess dolmar thought they could sell more.
Someone please let me know if I'm wrong on that part, but ik it's a dolmar 166

The SP118 is indeed a SD166 in yellow instead of the Dolmar orange. You can actually see the orange paint underneath the yellow on these saws where it has worn through. They were sold out here in Australia as stated, as were the orange Dolmar 166 saws. I have come across quite a few of them out here in my travels, and in my experience have been an easier saw to find in Australia as opposed to the Dolmar 166. Prices can vary as with all saws. I have seen them sell for a few hundred dollars out here, as well as several thousand to overseas buyers.

Dolmar sold six model saws to McCulloch for the Australian market. Of the "Magnificent Seven" from McCulloch six were Dolmar's.

Interesting so they didn't even paint them yellow to start with huh? That seems like the lazy way out. And I guess it will come down to, if I ever want to find one cheaper than most it'll have to be one that someone has already brought to the US
Thanks for the insight.

I've read about the "magnificent seven" just a little bit and I do believe the only mac was a double eagle 50 if memory serves correct and that picture you posted is one fine looking saw I must say.

So @CM76 how many 118/166's does that make for you? Is that one gonna run or is is just parts.

 

[Ambull]

Just a regular 166 is worth over $1000 here, so a good SP118 is worth more, mainly because the shipping from Australia is pretty steep. It is one of the "holy grail" saws for muscle saw collectors in the US in my opinion. I have one, but sorry it is not for sale.

The man to talk to about those saws is Leeha. He has about 30 of them, and I think 3 are yellow. Good luck prying one of them out of his hands.

I wouldn't dream of trying to swindle you out of your only 118, that'd be like somebody trying to buy my pro mac 1000 or my pro mac 850........ not gonna happen one day I will find one and i will bring it home with me, I just have to be patient. And I've definitely notices that leeha has a fantastic collection of everything cool

I have a few yellow saws and a number of the Dolmar 166 machines. This latest saw is a fine runner, so is definitely not a parts saw.

I think i have one of these non complete, i purchased it with 2 other saws from a recycling center in Canberra for $5 a few weeks ago , i will get some pics

 

[astnmacgto]

Could be a 118 or its little brother. The only way I know to tell is measure the bore.
