I've taken a new interest in restoring or getting some of the vintage saws i have running or restored. I've looked at a lot of saws on web pages and have come up with two main questions. WHERE do i locate the decals, logos, etc for some of these saws? WHERE do i find a paint chip book or paint for these saws? The owners manuals are not a problem. ebay usually helps with those
My saws are Mall 12A, Remington Logmaster, David Bradleys of different years some basic models, McCulloch 10-15, and nine other various makes. Some of them run, some of them are for future working on. Any help would be great. |

I've had problem's posting pics at Magnus' site despite his help, it worked a few times is what makes it more frustrating, so I uploaded the pics at photobucket anyways, but other than some lit I havn't bought anything "new" since last fall to post pics of, and probably won't unless the right saw or literature comes along, been staying off ebay but tempted by the Huskies on sale at Tractor Supply, but decided unless I get a new woodlot I'll just keep repairing what I got. Right now they can't give sawlogs away, (no tops available) and everyone thinks oil is going to stay below $40 a barrel, I sold the last of my firewood stack for $30 a facecord just because it was getting old, and we have a couple of old maples in the dooryard I hope to take down next year. Have a Happy New Year everyone

ebay seems to be a good place to SHOP for vintage chainsaws. Some of the prices are fair, some are....well lets say i m not gonna pay their retirement at the antique shop...!! Shipping can be pricey depending on where and what shipper is used. so far ive only paid dearly once a few years ago.
Like i emphasized SHOP. There are many vintage saws for sale on ebay. most are pretty common. Im looking for something more collectable, not too pricey and not taken out of the recycling bin by some antique shop ebay seller. You know who i mean. Grampa owned it, its rare, it has cut 8 million square miles of wood and the chain is still sharp. but they cant find the model number or the serial number, much less get the name right and the price is about the national budget. Anyhow. thanks for all your help. im still looking for a few good saws when i can afford them....its a hobby. i dont expect to log any timber with them. The Collectors Corner and FORUM is pretty handy. Thanks for the info everyone |
