stroke of luck last week, spotted a trio of old saws on marketplace,,,, in Scotland, I asked the fella if he would post them and to my surprise he said yes, I now have a Husqvarna F,70 , a Stihl 015 top handle, and a Danarm 1-71-. ss.

all 3 are complete and the F70 was up and running after a service and a set of starter dogs, 015 needed a new pull cord and a decent clean-up and now runs great, still got the Danarm to look at but looking hopeful. Result.

finally got the recently acquired Danarm 1-71-ss back together today, it had a few electrical problems, I can't be certain but it looked like someone had it apart previously and trapped wires when reassembling, I replaced them all from an old parts saw, and put a kit in the carb,  before firing up I pulled the exhaust, piston looked new! in fact the top was showing no evidence of being fired at all, it has massive amounts of compression, I'm thinking someone gave up on it after spending time and coin on it and  traded it in for a new model, [it came from a dealers shop, as did the other two]

it's now running good and starts in a couple of pulls from cold, and one once warmed up. I got a Dolmar CC [109] coming next week, I hope that as easy to sort.
