[Jason Dunn]

Sachs Dolmar KMS4, To find one that has not been messed with grrrrrrrrrrr I now have 2 and can't make myself put it back together with the f@#@#d up parts I have, Still on the quest for more parts.........

how bout a reasonably priced 044 without a broke/repaired/bolted together rear handle (handles must be made of platinum cause they cost as much by themselves as the parts saw they are attatched to)

For me an 1944 IEL model B-P

The BP-1 came to mind, obviously it isn't the most rare- but worth mentioning. I know the Homelite 540 & 8800 aren't nearly as rare as some, but also worth mentioning. They sure are rare when you are looking for one, thats for sure!

Yes, hey all seem to be rare when you are attempting to procure one!

and they all seem to double in price the minute you decide you want one.

see my sig line.

my buddy left my favorite bowsaw in the forest many years back.

we used to hunt 30 mi down a river (after a 2.5hr drive), in a delta for moose.

Used to leave tools down river to have for the next year. Buddy "SAYS" he left it for next year, but couldn't remember where. It wasn't in the cache.

I looked for the next two years, but then never went back after that.

I been kickin myself in the butt...

A few months ago on CList in Oregon,,this dealer had a Sachs Dolmar 120 anv. special....It looked like brand new from the pics,,but the shipping is what stopped me from buyin it....I been mad at myself every since the more I think about it.......I should have pulled the trigger on it....

In my experience, a stolen saw is the hardest to find. Someone stole my 2100 18 years ago, and I haven't found it yet.

Andy,

You crack me up, had to rep 'ya on this one!

Well since this thread was started I have tracked down almost every thing on my list except for a homelite 3100G and an alpina 120. I haven't been looking for the alpina long but the quest for the 3100G has been a long frustrating search. I actually found a good deal on one and when I got it I found that it had been crushed at one time and none of the 3100 specific parts were usable. So my vote at this point is Homelite 3100G as hardest to find.

I think the older JReds are all pretty hard to find. I am talking about the X_ models. If I could find a XF for sale, I would be a happy man.

The JRed 66 is a rare beast, but I found one that is still intact. It runs too! All I need to do now is pull out a spare 70E oil pump and replace the bad one on the 66 and it is all set to go.

66E??????? I don't wanna talk about it....................

see my sig line.

See Denver craigslist. Homelite 8800 for $100.

For me, Remington 880/990 or Wright C series geardrive. I think the Poulan branded recip saws are VERY rare (only ever saw one) as well as the 744 Poulan.

I've seen a few 3100G on ebay in the past year, but I've never seen a Alpina 120.

 

[Teddy.Scout]

These are kinda RARE! and hard to find

 

[Teddy.Scout]

And here is another one that can be tough to find.

 

[Gumnuts]

These are kinda RARE! and hard to find

Congrats on the GS Ted.When and where did you score that one ?

 

[hoss]

I've seen a few 3100G on ebay in the past year, but I've never seen a Alpina 120.

As far as the 3100's go I saw two this year. A real nice one that I got outbid on at $700.00 and one with a blown top end that I had a top end all lined up for but got outbid on that at the last minute.

 

[Meadow Beaver]

I saw a Homelite 770GS on ebay a while back, I wanted it but couldn't afford it.

 

[Sprintcar]

Alpina Super Pro 120, or IMO a saw that will never be seen again is the Remington 754 Army Vietnam edition.

Only seen pictures, one is supposed to be in the Army Aviation museum at Fort Rucker, Alabama.

 

[Meadow Beaver]

I saw a non-running alpina 70 on ebay today.
