    I know most of you will remember Chity_Avatar's threads on this saw. This saw was a beast!! It was built by Adirondackstihl which was a very close friend to Phil.


    This MS 290 runs, cuts, idles, and will steal an 034's lunch money!!


    More details will be posted later. But I want to get it out there now. This was one of Phil's personal saws. So give with your hearts folks! Keep his memory alive.


    This auction will last 4 days or until Monday night at 11 pm (Eastern Std time)


    Here is the original thread from this saw!
    Just another Stihl MS290


    Here is the video from his 1st thread on it!

    Stihl MS290 in Hickory:



    2nd thread on this saw..

    Here is the video from the 2nd thread. When we wanted to see it go against bigger saws!!

    Bidding was gonna start at $100. But that was another members idea..
    Then he was gonna bid $150...

    So I start this one at $200.

    The links for the threads are broken. I made the thread, posted it, copied it, then deleted it.

    I will fix them tomorrow if another staff member doesn't before I get to it.

    $200 is the standing bid from my wife. She needs a saw and this is a good one.

    This is a saw that I built for Phil.
    He was working 90+ hrs a week and had little to no time to rebuild it.
