Stihl AV-69 Information

[ozziechainsaw]

Hi Guys,

A friend of mine who collect chainsaws found this for me today. Going by what I can see on the internet it is a Stihl AV-69. I have agreed to purchase it from him but can anyone who is a big Stihl collector give me some more information and what something like this could be worth to the right person.
The saw does run and has been with a older gentleman for 20 plus years.

Any information and opinions would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Justin

Looks like a 041 series.
Lots of them around. If you find the G model they are the ones collectors are searching for.

Yep looks like the 041 Series type saws, but different. I have 3 different types of Stihl 041 saws but none of them look anything like this.

I never seen a chainsaw like this. I didn't think they were released here in Australia. From the information I can find, it seems to be a rare saw but I could be very wrong, that's why I am trying to get more information.

Looks very cool. Wish I could speak the language, but I can kinda work out what they are saying.

So this makes it harder after seeing this. So is the Stihl AV-69 more of a collector chainsaw ?

Quite rare, I think only supplied to Sweden for a short period before production 041AV, but could be wrong! For sure a collectors piece, as for value?

It should have 69 at the front of the serial number if it's a 69, I think these were some kind of prototype prior to production of the 041AV, tested in Sweden/Finland

This was a special model for Scandinavia (or just Sweden) based on the 041 AV...

Hi Bob,

I will try tomorrow to see if I can get the serial number from the saw. So all the AV-69 chainsaws should have a 69 at the front of the serial number ?

 

[turkeybob]

yes, it may have a number in front of the 69, but one I saw had 69 in the serial number
