pics when u get?

my big yellow. s797.

Sure, will post some pics when it arrives.

As for the 797, me likey! Frankly, I think I prefer the 797 to the 125, but I just ran across the 125 first.

In other Holy Grail news, I've got another minty Jonsered XF on the way; guy i've been buying them from seems to have an endless supply.
 
On the Holy Grail front, AS member NewToStihl has a Comet diesel on the trading post here. That saw passed through my house on the way to the States. It's a very nice piece, and complete with crate and tools.

As for my Holy Grail hunt, I have yet another Jonsered XF on the way from Sweden. Also have a seldom seen Jonsered 110 on the way from the motherland, too. The 110 is very similar to the 111, but much rarer. And working on a Jonsered XG and another XB.

Do y'all think the Husqvarna MS90 is a legit Holy Grail saw? I bought one several weeks ago and just ran across two more. My first one is serial number 1575 and the one that's on the way is 605. Next one is a part saw with no recoil or serial number.

Here's the first - 1575.

And #2 - serial number 605.

Get a chain, pour in some fuel and bar oil, and get cutting man.

There was an advertisement on the wall at Ace Saws in Braeside, (Mordialloc) Melbourne for the Titan Blue Streak proclaiming "Down in 3 minutes!"

Let's see about that.

I'm thinking that slogan was more likely used to advertise Danarm chainsaws Mark. It was the cover slogan for Australian Danarm historian Peter Knights book. I will chase up a photo of the original advertisement as I only have a photo of the book on my phoneIMG_2971.JPG
