    I was out today and stopped at a "junque" shop. Spent around 20 minutes looking around and found this buried in a corner.

    An old Mall electric saw with a wooden bar cover. Looked like it was wearing a 9/16" chain, must have weighed 30 pounds.

    Seller wanted $150 for it, then offered it and a 2.5 gallon Blitz can with no spout with it for the same price. I passed, as I did yesterday on a $5 Homelite XL12.

    I passed on a poulan 380 super today. I was 1st in line. Was just wanting to take my 60cc 3450 project and make 1 good runner from the 2.

    I'd trade you one good Poulan runner for the 3 I have here? A 330, 380, etc? :)

    All 3 of mine are in good shape, I just have had zero time to work on anything.

    Guido.. A $5 XL 12? You passed? I would have paid shipping on that one ;)

    Still looking for good looking wall hangers for my basement. I probably won't hang them until this heating season when I am down there a lot. I have several nice ones already, and HoneyFuzz has 2 or 3 more I have already purchased from him.

    If they are cheap and we can keep it under $30-$50 shipped? I will buy the unique pieces you come across

    Dex, an XL12 isn't exactly rare or unique, but if you really want one, I have one that I got for free. Not real pretty but it might serve your purpose. Txt me for details.

    The XL12 was missing the starter assembly, compression appeared weak when I spun the flywheel by hand and one of the screws holding the muffler on had a buggered head. If you want it I could swing by next week and see if he still has it.
