That's a minty looking 036 Pro!! Nice!! The 036/360, 044/440, and 046/460 are my favorites!! (That's 3 different saws, but hey... You like what you like!)
No, it'll go in the collection. It's part of my retirement plan. It's little brother, a NIB 026 pro should be here Thursday or Friday.
Actually with my Solo 651, Dolly 5100 and 5105, Stihl 026, 260, 261s, Echo 500vl, I actually do need it. I don't have enough 50cc class saws yet... For the price of admission I wanted to see what all the rage was about...
Please tell me there are more?!?!? I want one!! Nice finds my friend!! You are the real MVP!! Not really a fan of the new sticker. Unless he is vested into the forum financially? Even then, it still isn't cool for the customers that came to him and are on different forums and don't visit OPE? Or does he give you a choice of just a MMWS sticker? Or the OPE one?
No MVP here, I have just been fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. I have known about these two NIB saws for a while and just happen to call dibs on them if he ever decided to let them go. Fortunately for me, he is a stand up guy and means what he says when he says, you'll be the first to know. I was the first to know, and I didn't hesitate. There are no more to my knowledge, well, not of these particular models. He has another NIB saw, I'm first in line on it too. Now it's just the waiting game..
Another one from my contact in Redding CA,this should arrive in a week or so. RARE Mac 73 - 7.3 cube/120cc gear drive monster only produced from June 1955 to September 1956. Includes very nice 38" hardnose bar & 1/2" (I think,may be 9/16" once I actually see it) pitch chain. Has the scarce ''hockey mask'' starter cover,most all these are painted yellow,I don't recall ever seeing one chrome before... Has old repair/weld to rear handle that looks OK.Starts with a prime,has great compression,good spark,just needs some carb work,other minor tinkering. I located a very nice same vintage Mac 2 man helper handle from someone else in Idaho,that should arrive middle of next week sometime.
