    My father-in-law has been in the tree business in Columbia County, NY for 40 years and while poking through the old barn I found this. He said it ran great when he put it there 30 years ago. A restoration project??

    My questions are:
    1. Can it be restored
    2. Who can do the job
    3. How much to restore it?
    4. How much is it worth once restored?

    :D

    Big money back 60 years eh.

    'A Montana store receipt and note from the buyer detail the sale of a saw in 1955 that listed for $700, had been marked down to $399, and sold for $300 with a 30 inch bar and chain.'

    $300 in 1955 = $2,643.48 today.
