Stihl 011AV Any Special Interest?

[GCJenks204]

Saw a Stihl 011 AV for sale locally. I don't think I have ever seen one before or heard much chatter about them. First Stihl I have seen that isn't a creamsicle. Do these have any special interest or is is just another small old saw?

Some guys swear by them. Others swear at them. All metal construction and a bear to work on. Small repairs sometimes require a major take down. That includes repairing or replacing the pull cord. I have the 010 AV that has no chain brake, but it's fun to take it out and run it now and then. Parts are getting hard to find, especially the carb.
